Chinese women have their feet bound, and Chinese mothers have to bind their daughters' feet, just like the inner line in the movie: "Beauty can be found in pain... Although binding your feet makes you suffer a little, it's you who really benefits." It is a kind of love that is embodied by inheriting pain. Under the social environment and customs at that time, a woman bound her feet to show her social status and role - she is fragile and can't open the door. Foot binding is a must to reflect a woman's femininity.
In the era of advocating the three-inch golden lotus, Chinese men are undoubtedly foot fetish. They are playing with their women's feet (it is estimated that they must wear socks, showing their true colors is absolutely no fun) like a stunner in the world, full of joy. That's why, from generation to generation, mothers have to bind their daughters' feet, which is a kind of meticulous technical work, and it is also like a ritual that cannot be desecrated. In order for them to find the best husband's family and the man who loves them most, the mother must let her daughter experience the same pain as when she was young. A woman wants to marry the right man. With a husband who is wealthy and powerful, a woman's life can be at ease.
Foot binding requires very careful care, otherwise the broken bones and the unventilated skin will be prone to inflammation and infection. It is said that improper care after foot binding will kill people.
The long-term care process is another manifestation of the mother's love in Kwong Lisa's eyes. Mothers use the greatest patience and the most selfless experience to complete the process of their daughter's degeneration. Perhaps it is possible to find peace in suffering. It is in this suffering that Chinese women slowly accept such cultural inheritance and regulations. On the day of having children in the future, they will also bind their daughter's feet and watch her twist her body and marry into another family, with joy and sorrow in their hearts.
After learning that this book was going to be made into a movie, I was so excited for a long time. I didn't know how amazing the result of such a strong lineup would be. I can probably imagine that this kind of thing may not be able to convey anything to you through a story at all after the label of "gay" was used in the early publicity. As for Jackman's participation, I don't know if it is a subtle hint that everyone in this film really has a tendency to have homosexuality.
The whole movie feels like fragments, fragments and fragments. Although you walk in three time and space, you don't feel too fragmented. Trivial stories have always been nothing more than what I want to tell you - good sisters for a lifetime. Among the many sisters' affectionate recitations, this is undoubtedly a bad story relying on a strong and mysterious cultural background. And it's been a good subject from start to finish. Chinese women have been burdened with deep and forbearing love since ancient times, but these are heavy weights that no story can bear.
