In recent years, movies about women's themes seem to have a blowout trend. Apart from the "Carnival" that I just watched not long ago, India alone can make a dozen of them every minute. In fact, most of the movies we watch every day are based on women's motifs and perspectives to build confrontation and conflict. If it is placed in Ozu's movies, as long as there is a hidden layer of widowed fathers and daughters to be married The built-in character relationship, the story structure of the entire movie is already up, and the rest is filling. Among the Indian gods we often see, such as the popular "Wrestling, Dad!" " and the just-introduced "Mysterious Superstar" are closer to the general public in a popular form. Although a very routine narrative method is used to create a dramatic conflict, the audience's acceptance and completion are subtly in mainstream commercial and commercial. A bridge is built on the excavation and discussion of serious subjects. Not to mention a love movie, of course, it is beautified, it lacks realistic criticism, but after all, it is inseparable from women to support the plot. If there is no female role, it is completely controlled by men, it is "The Godfather" That kind of hard and cold, or the future hard sci-fi like the "Three-Body Problem" novel. The school bullying in Japan's "Confession", and the sexual abuse of teenagers in South Korea's "Furnace", "Princess Han" and "Suyuan", women will become the "sacrifice" of the current era even if they are not in the backward and ignorant feudal society.
From the perspective of movies, when constructing confrontation, women are set up in a "weak" position, which can not only win sympathy points, but also capture the hearts of the audience, follow the protagonist to escape together, and finally lead to the road to freedom, such as The personal biographical film "Battle of the Sexes" starring Emma Stone, in order to fight for equal pay with male tennis players, has made a huge effort. From a deeper perspective, what she is fighting for is not a bonus or peace. The equal social status of men and the elimination of sexism to win their dignity is the ultimate goal of this game.
The film "Mustang" that I want to talk about today comes from the debut of the Turkish director Denis Aegwin. The unique perspective and delicate aesthetics of the female director once made me suspect that this is the Turkish version of "Sea Street Diary". The girl's body, skin and even private parts under high saturation are under the soft light, which makes people intoxicated. In addition, the tranquil rural scenery and nature make them look particularly fresh, and the secrets of the girls in their private rooms are poured out in front of the camera like a waterfall, which is a feast for the eyes. But an accident playing with a male classmate by the river became their collective nightmare. These sisters, who live in the northern countryside of Turkey, were sued by their talkative neighbors to their foster uncles. From then on, the singing and laughing boudoir became an unbreakable prison and an incubator for brides. Grandmother tried her best to make them into The most sought-after bridal resources on the market, learning to cook, and stylist girls have to know everything.
The two eldest daughters got married very early, and when they arrived at the third child's place, they were taken to the hospital for a virginity check because they didn't see the red on the wedding night. She said that I had done it with the whole world, and the doctor asked her, why is your hymen intact? Is your hymen an impregnable wall? When they got here, the fate of the five girls was inexorable, in addition to making people sigh, and the director arranged to escape several times to watch the ball game and secretly date the boy, and the inhumane uncle reinforced a layer of barbed wire for them.
So far, the theme of the film is self-evident. The younger daughter successfully escaped from this hell by imprisoning them in their boudoir. With the assistance of the uncle in the truck, she came to Istanbul smoothly, smelled the smell of freedom, and fell into the arms of the teacher. It seems that much of the foreseen abuse has also been concealed and covered up, stripping away the cruel side to the greatest extent possible, which is somewhat reassuring, but at the same time calls for necessary reflection.
In fact, I have slept with the whole world, except for an angry remark, but also a futile determination and contest in my heart against the impregnable cage, the high-walled fortifications, the hypocritical religious morality, and the ignorant marriage system. . They did not have the idea of suicide, but raised the nightmare into a spiritual force, like a farewell poem.
The picture of the movie is beautiful, and the subject matter is a little heavy but not cruel, so friends who are interested should watch it.
