A victory for feminism

This film mainly introduces the awakening of Colette's feminist consciousness, and the relationship with Willie from blind worship to confrontation and finally to a complete break, a step-by-step awakening, and finally Colette successfully divorced and got the copyright of his novel Crotina. , it is the embodiment of the success of feminism. The background of the film is the early 20th century, but after more than 100 years, the feminist movement in China is still struggling.

Widow-style parenting, well-known V Zhangwen sexually harassed many women, famous CCTV host Zhu Jun sexually harassed female intern, and Chinese-style marriage. . . When these news were exposed, it was the victims who received the accusations, while the perpetrators hid themselves in the so-called world, which to a certain extent reflected the status quo of feminism in China.

I personally think that a large part of the reason why the feminist movement is struggling in China is that too many girls do not believe in their own abilities, and have been instilled with the concept of "weak" since childhood. Just like Willie in the movie indoctrinated Colette with female writers' books that don't sell well, using this as an excuse to obliterate Colette's authorship. But in fact we have the ability to survive on our own, the ability to take care of ourselves. What about the older leftover women, why should we compromise, why should we accept the return of their prodigal son after a man cheats.

Colette who was more than a hundred years ago can successfully find his true self, why can't we pursue the life we ​​want?

I hope that China can also have more film and television works of these real heroines, instead of wearing the shell of the heroine on the surface, the core is still the romance idol drama of Mary Sue Cinderella.
