In fact, five stars for this movie is not because of how ingenious the movie itself is, but because I want all women to watch this movie, everyone, come and feel what I feel in this movie of.

The kind of oppression that a woman can feel is accustomed to be regarded as a "woman" in daily life, or asked to be a "woman", the director obviously made this abnormal, through the way of parallel world, let We see more clearly. I think the various scenes rendered in the movie are all frequent occurrences every day in the so-called normal world we live in. When the male protagonist accidentally crosses into the feminist world, he quickly loses himself The mastery of life, at this moment I realized that his original so-called mastery was only given to him by everyone.

This is also what Simon Beauvoir wrote in his book on the second sex, that the road to women's emancipation must be group.

In the situation where the hero changes roles and must survive in the feminist world, his parents' attitude towards him changes, his friends' lifestyle, the way he gets along with colleagues in the company, and even the way the woman he likes treats him, he is in the bar At that time, female passers-by A, B, C, molested him. These co-existences jointly deprived him of his mastery.

He is defined as helpless, incapable of self-sufficiency, in need of protection, incapable of taking care of himself, irrational, nasty, and not good enough.

So he lost his mastery. When man is a social animal, as a member of society, he has to connect with other people. Everyone is depriving him of his life. His life revolves around Modifying his body curve, guarding against attacks from other women, and working as a secretary without any development, even if he meets a beautiful and golden female version of the diamond king, he will not change his own destiny. , The heroine seems to have established a temporary equality between herself and the male host because of her love for him, but in fact, this equality disappears instantly when she leaves the hotel and gets out of bed. The new fate faced by the hero. Love was clearly not enough to save him and dragged him into even more chaos.

So he came to the bar in despair and was molested by other female characters. In fact, the protagonist's body is obviously stronger than other women, but the sense of oppression that cannot be resisted is the real reason why the male protagonist can't resist, because passers-by A, B, C The behavior represents the bullying of men (in a feminist society) by the entire social system, and temporary equality is false and has no binding force.

There is a lot of tension in that invisible oppression. All the men carry the anti-wolf spray. They define themselves as weak, or they play the role that society has given them.

And this is the status quo of women in a patriarchal society. They are exhorted to love themselves. They are women defined by men. They are not themselves. , it is obvious that she is about to face a life of losing sovereignty like the male protagonist. We lose ourselves in a crazy environment. I think she is also unable to insist on herself, and will gradually become feminine.

If there must be the weak in a society, then the word weak is made up by the strong, in order to strengthen the sense of self, and to achieve the purpose of controlling others and making them centralize their service, so if feminism and patriarchy are the same Wrong, then to paraphrase the words of the psychiatrist in the film.

Is there a third possibility in this world, a world where men and women can live in peace?
