Internet celebrity anchor "His Royal Highness Qiao Biluo" is cold. In the third wave of game anchor blacklist released recently, her name is listed, which means that it is difficult for her to turn over in the anchor industry. During the live broadcast, His Highness Qiao Biluo deliberately showed his true face, from young girls to middle-aged aunts, for a while, it was difficult for the spectators who spent "a huge amount of money" to accept them. Afterwards, His Highness Qiao Biluo also said that he spent more than 200,000 yuan to create this marketing event. On that day, she gained hundreds of thousands of followers and became an internet celebrity.
But because the public opinion was too strong, he was finally banned. Behind this incident, we can see the "virtualization" of the Internet, the coexistence of reality and mimicry, you never know "who" or "what" is on the other side of the Internet; at the same time, we can see the public's label of "beauty" for women definition.
And women have to cater to this aesthetic trend in order to profit from a male perspective. Age, beauty, grooming, from body to voice are all naked to please.
Recently, a new film "Who You Think I Am" starring the famous French actress Juliette Binoche also uses the Internet as a carrier to reveal the love between men and women through psychological methods. The prejudice also expresses the loss and repression of love among middle-aged women.
Juliette Binoche, as an actress with excellent acting skills, won the best actress at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice Film Festivals with her superb acting skills. In the movie "Blue, White and Red Trilogy of Blue", she showed the rich and meticulous inner twists and turns of the characters through her expressive eyes and subtle and meaningful language, which is unforgettable and impressive.
In "Who Do You Think I Am", Juliette Binoche plays Claire, a middle-aged divorced teacher who is over 50 years old . Her body is aging and her memory is declining. Whether at work or in life, she is in a state of long-term depression and cannot be relieved.
In the first scene of the film, her whole body sinks into the water, her face is pale and numb, as if she were about to die. The next scene is her all-night passion with her young lover, and it's only at that moment that she feels alive, needed, and worthy of existence.
But one night of lingering can keep the body, but not the heart. The next day, her boyfriend left in a hurry, busy with his career, and ignored Claire. In the car, he said something very stinging to Claire, he didn't think a woman her age should be sulking like a little girl.
Middle-aged women should be mature, generous, and know how to be alone. But at an embarrassing age, Claire, who has been troubled by divorce, needs care and warmth. In order to get close to her boyfriend, Claire registered an account on the Internet as Clara, and her avatar was changed to that of a young girl with a mysterious personality. Boyfriend's status.
But after going back and forth, Claire borrowed Clara's identity and gradually fell in love with Alex. Relying on the invisibility of the Internet, Claire has portrayed herself as a "model" with outstanding temperament. Through her speaking skills, she constantly implies that she is young, innocent, has an unreliable boss, and has lofty ideals.
So the shaping is all to gain a good impression in front of Alex who is a photographer. Borrowing the Internet, one of them is in the light and the other is in the dark, and they have not achieved "equal" communication opportunities.
Soon, Claire captured Alex's heart, and the other party took the initiative to confess and was eager to meet her. Claire enjoyed the feeling of being admired very much, which made her feel like a rejuvenation, full of vitality, and changed her old age.
Even though her body is 50 years old, she is talking about a 25-year-old love and enjoying the state of life when she was young. But contradictions also arise at the same time. After being disconnected from the Internet, can Claire live in the same room with Alex as her real identity and continue their relationship?
The contradiction between the Internet and age continues until the end of the film, which is the most dramatic tension in the whole film. "Who Do You Think I Am" shows women's greatest anxiety , that is, all kinds of "inconfidence" caused by age.
Age is a thorn in Claire's heart. Because of age, many behaviors, and many thoughts are regarded as "inappropriate". The public ignores their female identity and will preconceived the age to label them, as if entering middle age. , their feminine beauty does not exist.
The film makes Claire, who has regained her love, "rejuvenate" again. The audience sees the confident and elegant Claire exuding mature female beauty, which makes the men in the bar and even her ex-husband full of desire for her.
Therefore, age and female beauty are not necessarily in complete conflict. Women can also release different types of beauty in different periods through their own cultivation and psychology. "Who Do You Think I Am" is on the surface a dog-blooded online dating drama, but in fact, the core is extremely profound, rising step by step, and after many reversals, the theme has been sublimated.
In fact, the whole film is a psychological analysis to dissect Claire's heart . Claire has repeated conversations with the psychiatrist, hoping to find her crux. Why choose to talk to Alex about money and love, and why use Clara's identity? The memoir narrative completes the progress of the story, and at the same time reveals a lot of doubts.
It turns out that Clara is not a stranger on the Internet, but a niece who has stayed with Claire for many years. What is even more surprising is that Claire's ex-husband chose to divorce her because of Clara. The middle-aged husband married a young woman, and the other party was her niece who was favored by her.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Claire. To borrow Clara's identity is to subconsciously want to occupy her everything, her identity, her age, her beauty, her everything. In the second half of the film, there is a "uplift", and Claire, who is a teacher and a writer, "continues" her emotional entanglement with Alex by writing novels.
She walked out of the internet and used her identity to fall in love with Alex. It turns out that hobbies can overcome age, and tacit understanding can span different experiences. Their love is inseparable, and their love is deep. But when the relationship between the two reached the boiling point, Claire, who was afraid of losing, chose to "tell the truth", and she was jealous, worried, and suspicious, and told Alex about her "pretend" past.
The ending goes to tragedy. In the novel, Claire achieves her desire and completes a redemption. From the Internet to novels, it is actually an escape and transformation of reality. The film does not end here. In order to complete the "healing", the psychiatrist smeared the reality with lies, hoping that Claire can get out of the fiction of the novel and be able to face the reality and her heart.
The end of the film is similar to "Inception" . The phone is connected but no one answers for the time being. Just like the crumbling spinning top that seems to stop and never stop, it keeps the desire alive, and at the same time makes the illusion and reality. Confused.
From a virtual love, to writing a novel of desire, and then to a lie that attempts to complete a cure, the story is lifted three times, completing Claire's inner anatomy, revealing women's fear of age and desire for love. In the film, Claire shared Ibsen's "A Doll's House " with students in the audience more than once as a lecturer, telling the story of the awakening of women. The wife is no longer willing to be her husband's "marionette", she wants to get out of the exquisite cage-like home and go to the real world full of infinite possibilities.
"His Royal Highness Qiao Biluo" targeted women's anxiety and used them in reverse. Although it lost its integrity, it also exposed the public's "label-style" aesthetics for women.
Men's demands for women have made women like "His Royal Highness Qiao Biluo" see the hearts of men, and use the Internet and technology to profit from it. In this way, both men and women are victims of narrow aesthetics and love.
