Some thoughts on feminism were discussed earlier in the movie

Originally, I wanted to make a movie to see JC when I was young, but I was conquered by Demi's beauty and muscles. And it turns out that the plot is pretty good.

Since this film is the first female soldier to enter the devil training camp, there must be discussions about women's rights. Moreover, the female politicians at the beginning also used this point to speak out. In the plot, there are two points about feminism that touched me. One was when I was in the sea. The black fellow told the hostess that they would not allow blacks to serve on ships a long time ago, but that was a matter of his grandfather’s time. Yes, now they don’t let women in the SEALs, maybe you just gave birth to some time earlier. This is really the most common example cited by many bloggers who discuss feminist rights now. Let’s look at the problem from another angle to see if women are discriminated against because of their gender. Now I feel a little bit that I should have watched this film early. This is a movie from 1997!

Regarding the discussion of feminism, there is a bit of a twist. On the one hand, it seems that women are better than men in order to get equal status with men. On the other hand, why do women need to be stronger than men to get equal status with men? This is not to lose the original intention of equality. From this film, a controversial point is that the heroine shaved her hair and trained to be like a man. Does it mean that she is "misogynistic" and has turned herself into a man? Some people think that women should fully accept their identity. I don’t really understand this question, but I still think that if a girl wants to do something, she should be given this opportunity to do it. Instead of presupposing various positions to comment on her motivation.

Regarding opportunity, the movie also mentioned it very early. The heroine was the same age as her boyfriend and served at the same time, but her boyfriend rose faster than her, because the hero can go to the Gulf War and have more opportunities to rise in the army. The female protagonist has fewer positions to choose from, and there are fewer and more natural ways to rise.

Some of the feelings of the hostess and her boyfriend made me feel very complicated. The boyfriend has always been in contact with the trained female protagonist. When the female protagonist was turned home by the female politician, the boyfriend hugged her and said, sometimes I hope you fail so that we can be together. if. I feel that in life, women will really hear a lot of such sweet words for your sake, whether they really care about it, or is it in another sense to break your wings, let you be collected and be How about petting?

Another touching point is that after the captive torture training the hostess experienced, she was finally accepted by her fellow robes as a member. When she went to the bar to drink, when she went to the toilet, her face was still blue and purple, and the other was on the washstand. The woman before, looked at her a few times, and finally reminded her before leaving that you'd better leave him. She suspected that the heroine had the scars on her face caused by domestic violence. There is a kind of mutual assistance of women here. The director can capture such details in a film about special training of female soldiers. I think it's pretty good.

Regarding the plot line, it seems that American movies are quite fond of adding the ZZ factor to the main line. The female protagonist enters and exits the training camp because there is another female politician behind it. At the same time, it also makes people see that they are both women, starting with You can play the feminist card to add girls to the seal training camp. Later, you will also play the heroine as a card for self-interest. However, the heroine is not a vegetarian, and ran back again.

After checking IMDB, it turns out that the director also filmed another ending. The heroine died in order to save the instructor. Then the camera cut to the female politician commending the heroine on TV, and finally entered the SEAL ending with 3 new women. . In fact, watching the full movie, I think this ending will be even better, and there are also two endings that correspond to the lines buried in the front. One is the story of the instructor telling the hostess about rescuing a companion weighing 240 pounds, and the other is the story of the female politician telling the hostess that politically, women will not be allowed to return from the battlefield in a body bag. If you use this ending, just to hold back these two stalks, the hostess successfully rescued her companion, and finally returned in a body bag, but since then, the rule that women cannot enter the SEAL team has been changed.

Because I feel the ending of this play, although I also used the instructor to put my medal in the book and give it to the heroine, to express his affirmation to the heroine, and also cue the poem that the instructor read when he appeared on the stage. However, there is still a kind of story. This movie is about the heroine's own story. She is a special example of politicization. And the director’s tragic ending will be more sublimated, because the heroine promotes policy changes through her own behavior, and more women can join the seals.

Finally, he mentioned JC, after all, he was looking at the film. By the way, JC's face is really small, and in a group of actors, it is even smaller than the face. The young look really feels skinny like a monkey. But that will be 28, 9 too. It just happens to be funny to play the role of a stunned young soldier who is very provocative of the heroine. When the hostess first entered the training camp restaurant, he sat at a table with his teammates, and looked up and down the hostess leisurely and said that if she let me sleep, I would take it.

When he arrived behind the hostess, he moved into the boys’ dormitory. He couldn’t stand the bed next to him. He couldn’t stand the hostess’s tampon being placed on the bedside table. It was just like bullying the hostess in school. Something happened to the boys. However, fortunately, he did not act the very despicable person who released the heroine's hand when climbing the barrier wall, nor did he rescue her at sea when the heroine did not turn up, so he proposed to get rid of her. His character design is relatively flattering, and there is a sense of existence.

In the end, the overall feeling is that fucking, "Out of Amazon" is a "plagiarism" of this film, the content of the training camp is similar, and in the end it is directly from the training to the actual combat. I don’t know if the special forces are doing this, or if they really learned from the filming method of this movie.

PS: Although in 1997, the movie started talking about women joining the SEAL training camp, but in reality, it wasn't until 19 years later, in March 2016, that the first female entered the SEAL training. Ah~
