The posters are all women, and the main characters seem to say women, but it is not that the main characters seem to be women, so it can be said that it is a female movie. Especially in the case that none of the female characters in the film can stand up.
In terms of styling, from Malin Fiessen, to the villain queen, to the little princess, every one of them is almost always not beautiful. Marlene Fissen, whether severely injured or in battle, is always alive by immortality, beautiful to burst. After the war, the little princess's hair was messy for a second, and she recovered to Meimeimei. So, isn't Meimei worthy of being the protagonist? Of course, it can also be understood that movies are taking care of the aesthetic needs of the audience.
As for the set of people, all of them are irritating.
The little princess really can’t be the feminine, sweet, kind, and brainless female image in the typical traditional fairy tales, and of course, the love brain must be added. Between the mother and the future mother-in-law, the brainless stood with her mother-in-law. Is this something normal people can do? Over the years, Disney’s political correctness and women’s independent efforts have all been done on the little princess. They retreated overnight and basically returned to the aesthetics of the "Cinderella" era.
Marlene Fissen, seemingly powerful, however, the emotions are used to the extreme, just at one point, and the girl does what she says. No matter whether it was changing to fight or becoming a phoenix, to supporting the little princess and Philip's marriage, her attitude was always being pushed away by others, and she didn't have any sense of autonomy. Her "soul mentor" was still a man who had not known her for two days...
In contrast, the villain queen, although the facial makeup is serious, but it is the most free will of all female characters. From beginning to end, she used an unreliable reason and a bit sickly paranoia to forcibly implement her plan, and even her husband and son could sacrifice. Anything with a reliable motive is a very charming villain. Unfortunately, the screenwriter only wanted to write a traditional fairy tale villain from start to finish, and didn't want to waste energy on this.
As for the male characters in the whole play, they are basically silly, white and sweet, but they all have a clear image of righteousness, whether it is a king who wakes up to peace or a foolish prince and a sacrificed leader of the dark night group. They are too understanding of righteousness, kindness and reason, which is easy to make people feel very uncomfortable in this so-called female film. Although we can understand the relative consideration of gender balance in role distribution, a group of men hold the truth in their hands, the dark night leader instructs Marlene Fissen, and the king to persuade the queen, all with a traditional patriarchal and patriarchal feeling.
