one,
I have to admit that the heroine gave people some hope at the beginning. The sassiness when he went out on horseback, he was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, and when he held Gu Zi into a man-only trading market, he asked the maid to "raise her head"... When the first man was rejected for his marriage proposal, he asked if anyone was waiting. She, she said no, but that doesn't mean I'll marry you, I was very appreciative of this sentence at the time, thinking that the meaning of this sentence is not because you can accept any person in the window period, the implied meaning It is that marriage is not tied to any form of material, nor is it kidnapped by any custom. She needs to see more and observe the other party more (to determine the person's quality, temperament, etc.). Later she said I didn't say I wouldn't marry you either, and I thought it was a further proof of my understanding.
Later, it turned out that she didn't need to see more and observe more.
When rejecting the first man’s proposal, she said, “but there are many factors to consider when getting married.” Then, what factors did she and Bingge consider in the afternoon when they first met last night, and what factors did they consider in their marriage?
In other words, the heroine's self-improvement is not determined by logic or facts.
Such self-improvement has no value at all. It's like a theoretical cover.
It's okay to think of the heroine as someone who once wanted to be an independent woman, set up a flag, but was finally slapped in the face. But you can't think of this movie as a story of feminists pursuing love. I think Bathsheba Everding is happy to describe herself as a feminist. I didn’t want to mention the term feminism, but from the words and deeds of the heroine at the beginning, this is indeed her mean. to. But unfortunately, she is not a good feminist, or, I would rather say, she is not a feminist.
Even if she really harbors that kind of thinking, she does not have the ability to put it into practice. In the end, although she got a happy ending by sheer luck&coincidence, it was not caused by her own "independence" and "powerfulness". This point will be mentioned below.
If there is any relationship between this film and feminism, then from the analysis of the role of Bathsheba, it shows the fact that it is very desperate, that is, a series of professional ambitions and other ideals (even if In the beginning, it was just an ideal, and it would be obliterated by its (so-called) nature's desire for love and compromise. In the end, it seemed to be completely amnesia for those original intentions, and (if there is no change) willing to live a life like this. And what this will ultimately point to is: the ideals at the beginning are ridiculous, they have never been established.
If one of the old thoughts about women is that "animals of love" "cannot escape love", then unfortunately, this movie can also provide some evidence for this kind of thinking.
two,
The last so-called happy ending, in my opinion, is that the heroine "has to" choose the right one when she chooses to choose until she has no choice. Some people say that the heroine finally chose the one with the longest companion, but the problem is that in the whole selection process, the heroine did not show any initiative to think from beginning to end. Everything, including this beautiful ending, is more like Is it being forced into this: the third male will betray, the third male will die, and the second male will go to jail. Only in this way-only then can the heroine see the value of upright people? Only choose the ones that are truly valuable (and when she has no other choice)?
In this story, the role of human intelligence and rational choice has been diminished to almost nothing . If, as I said just now, it is assumed that the male third and the female lead are really wholeheartedly good to the female lead after they get married. Way, day by day indulging in fun, it is hard to imagine how much motivation and dedication the heroine will retain in her career? Is the gap between Bathsheba Everding and Anna Karenina really that far? What if the third male prodigal was not killed by the second male when he turned his head? If the hostess is softened again after being soaked by him? ——It’s not that the heroine will definitely not make the right choice, but the script does not discuss this possibility at all. For the core female image in this script, her final choice is not like her choice, but more like the environment As a result, due to the situation, a natural choice, (to be more arrogant about her shocking behavior in the previous few times).
So all this independent self-improvement is untenable. The flag set by Bathsheba, at least in the love position, can't stand up anyway. Perhaps due to the time limit of the story, she simply failed to understand what it means for women to be independent, not to be bound by men, or even to say, as a person, what it means to be not bound by another gender (of course, if we are purely It would be much simpler to think of things as being cheated by a young girl who has just begun to love her), so that her initial words and deeds are just a cover that has not had a chance to stand the test and has no chance to be exposed.
But one thing that made me think about writing this film review is that many things, even if it was really just an ideal, a pretense at the beginning, if the pretense is persisted to the end, it will no longer be a pretense.
