Must be understood from the female theme

The Brazilian film "Invisible Woman" must be understood in terms of female themes. On the surface, it was an inadvertent elopement that changed the fate of the girls, but in essence, it was the male power that savagely and brutally ruined the lives of the two sisters. The story is shrouded in the haze of male power from beginning to end. The male power's suppression of the sisters is all-round, psychological, spiritual, and family responsibilities, especially the destruction of their life opportunities. And of course there are sex and reproductive aspects, which can be terrifying if they go against a woman's will.

The story also runs through the sisters' struggle from beginning to end. My sister also treated her life with optimism at the beginning. Knowing that she made a mistake, she immediately corrected it, reset it and restarted, just like none of this happened. Conservative people will interpret that as adults take one step forward, they will no longer be able to control themselves, but a positive understanding is that it is always right to do what you want. It's a pity that my sister's optimism is no match for the hegemony of male power. The younger sister was also deprived of the opportunity to realize her ideals by male power. She can only imagine being immersed in her ideals and feeling the feeling of her disappearance. The more hilarious and lovable these struggles are, the more hilarious they are, and the ending of the story is sour, sad and indignant. There are a lot of sex scenes in the movie, and it's not really sexy at all, it's not beautiful at all, and it's even a little horrible. Men and women are not equal, and sex must be deformed.

In addition to the feeling of disappearing that my sister said, my sister also changed her name and changed her surname and disappeared. This is the superficial interpretation of the movie's name. Although the final result of the story is not bad, it is the common welfare of world peace, economic development, and social progress to men and women, which cannot hide the ugliness of patriarchy. The film further reveals that in a society where men and women are unequal, women's life path is more tortuous and difficult, and they will endure more pain. And whenever they encounter misfortune, they always rely on their women to help each other, and can't count on men. The existence of patriarchy itself is a shame for men, so women need to wake up, and men need to wake up too. Male power will not be eliminated, and the issue of women's liberation is also the eternal theme of the film.

    5 stars in emotion and 4 stars in technique. I cried completely in the theater, the sisterhood of soft outside and strong inside-how many women were hammered into the coffins of their families, mothers, and wives. The lens is very South American, weird and quietly beautiful. It would be better to shorten the film to one and a half hours.

    #DocumentaryPhoto# The style of painting swayed in the light and dark, which reminded me of Kielovsky's "Two Lives Flowers" for a moment, but it was more like a real thing. Unexpectedly, the Brazilian society in the 1950s was still so hierarchical. Under the double attack of the ugly "paternal power" and "husband power", the life of the two sisters was not without bumps and difficulties. Parallel to the final intertwined, the most memorable is the experience of my sister, she was abandoned by a man and driven out by her father to become a prostitute, but since then she has rediscovered the meaning of her life, "Home is not blood, but love. "This kind of statement coincides with "The Thief's Family". After the screening, the actor who played the younger sister said that the patriarchal and patriarchal oppression in Brazil is still very serious, and this is a common worldwide problem, so should we do the same? order something.
