The theme of this movie, feminism and patriarchy, analysis of dreams, native family, the love of Cinderella and the prince? Many people think that this film is promoting the interpretation of Freud’s dream, on the contrary, this film is about the domestication of women by men using so-called science. At the beginning, he explained that the male protagonist is a zoology fan, and the photo on the table is an ocelot, and all he does is make it believe in himself. This is exactly the same as the relationship between male and female leaders. What the protagonist did was to make the girl believe him, and did it. It's hard to say that there is love between the heroine and the heroine. Their marriage is based on the coercion of calling the police if they don't accept it, and the girl does not let him touch herself after marriage. On the contrary, after the male protagonist followed his beast-taming skills, the girl still refused to let him approach. So he took off the girl's nightgown and forcibly occupied him, which almost killed the girl by committing suicide. The love of the male protagonist for the girl is animal possessive love, which is admitted by the male protagonist in the film. All he did was to domesticate the heroine, knowing that the heroine became another aunt. The sister of the deceased wife who he raised at home and could become a spy for him. As for the belongings of his deceased wife, he smashed them on the floor at will. Pay attention to this detail. The sister of the deceased wife has discovered the secrets of the hostess in every detail, but never defies the host's request to hang up. She is the ocelot raised by the host, who can bite for him and never hurt herself. The only reason for the hero to uncover the mystery is that she never lets any man touch her. He was just to have sex with her, and there was no other noble reason. And the heroine is not ignorant of Freud, in the film they happen to talk about Freud's theory. The heroine was disapproving at first, and finally was stimulated by words into her arms. This is a film that seems to praise Freud, but the background color is actually that Freud was used by the prodigal son as a weapon to domesticate women. The heroine could have lived on her own, but in the end she became a vassal of the heroine. In fact, this is a pretty feminist film.

  • [Marnie takes a taxi back home, to a poor district by the wharf. There are girls skipping to a song]

    Girls skipping: Mother, mother, I am ill. Send for the doctor over the hill. Call for the doctor. Call for the nurse. Call for the lady with the alligator purse... Mumps, said the doctor.
