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.

    Favorite (one of) this year! The steady literary adaptation, emotionally moving enough, in the end a little bit too much, just cry anyway.

    The composition is beautiful and the colors are very bright, but it feels like the adaptation is like a South American drama, and the narrative is too emotional. It's another movie that feels like you can sink into your emotions only by reading the original book.
