Awakening of humanity

The beginning of "Thelma" is unusual. When she was a child, her father took her hunting. The deer was in front of her left, but his father pointed the gun at her. This has a suspenseful atmosphere, the director makes you think that something will happen, and as a result, it is idle to say nothing about it.

In the blink of an eye, when she grew up and went to school normally, she suddenly twitched all over her body, making her think she had epilepsy. Thelma has been living a very depressed life, her parents seem to be ubiquitous surveillance, supervision of courses, control of her behavior, and their own opinions and reprimands against her.

She can't be herself, she can't liberate her nature, and desire makes her feel ashamed. The snake that appears in every dream is the main culprit in seducing Adam and Eve in the West.

Later, when I saw a psychiatrist, I learned that when she was six years old, her parents gave her love to her brother because she had a younger brother. Her special function made her brother move under the sofa instantly, and she was fed mental medicine by her father, who was a doctor, since she was a child. Later, her brother was moved to the glacier. This kind of unequal love made her father want to kill her when hunting, and the root cause was inequality. If the protagonist is replaced by a man, and the younger brother becomes the younger sister, this is the same possibility.

This means that it makes no difference whether the protagonist is male or female. Speaking of the awakening of female consciousness, it is better to say the awakening of suppressed humanity. Not blindly suppressing, but accepting who you are. Let nature be stretched, and vitality will come out.

The West always breaks the barriers and obtains its own transformation by killing the father. In the end, he used his supernatural power to burn his father to death, especially in the Star Wars I watched yesterday. Not only did he kill his father, but he also killed his own mother and master. It was extremely rebellious.

When there are unreasonable events throughout the film, there are metaphors. Life is like this. When things are going well, people rarely think about it. When they hit a wall and the road is not smooth, they can really see what life is like.
