When I was a child, I read novels, but I didn't expect a movie, so I revisited it. It's strange why anyone would think it's a lily. Snowflake Secret Fan takes Nüshu as a clue to tell the story of the friendship and love between women and old friends. Laotong is a kind of companionship, understanding, and happiness. It is a woman's choice, not a man's choice. It is the male in the film, the modern Nina and Sophia, and the ancient Snowflake and Lily in the novel are all married together. They support each other and grow up with each other, no matter what, their friendship has never changed. The interesting thing about the film is that it tells the friendship between Nina and Sophia in flashbacks at the beginning. The two girls from different backgrounds became good friends and became old friends. Afterwards, the novel of the story between two old friends written by Sophia is narrated by means of interlude. In those ancient times, everything was decided by men, and it was a completely male-dominated society. Women have been shaped by the deformity of the patriarchal era since childhood. Therefore, the destructive behavior of foot binding has become a normal custom. No woman can escape its constraints. Otherwise, they will be punished. Women can do Just conform. For example, Lily's adaptation made her find a husband-in-law and her fate was reversed. Even the husband's wedding night starts with tasting little feet. Ironic. As for Xuehua, due to the failure of foot binding, in the end, the matchmaker failed to find a good family for her no matter how hard she tried. It can be seen that this custom of restricting female deformities is highly recognized in a patriarchal society. Feudal society has a strong ability to shape women, emphasizing that women should follow the three obedience and four virtues, the unmarried obedience to the father, the married obedience to the husband, the husband's death obedience to the child, the virtues of women, women's words, women's appearance, women's work, resulting in thousands of Chinese. The situation of "men's superiority over women" in 2008 has persecuted women's various legitimate rights and interests, and also has a negative impact on the development of society, making women unable to participate in social construction. The capabilities and roles of women are ignored. As Lily's mother said in the film, "We are all women, and we all have to leave home when we are born", which shows the low autonomy of women. At the same time, the treatment that Lily received in her husband's house is that all men have the final say. The only thing a woman has to do is to obey. Women don't have to worry about external things. Disobedience is the biggest taboo for women. When Lily wanted to meet her husband, she was blocked by her family. She had the right to see her husband until she thought she was the mistress of the family. Xuehua's life was helpless. The spouse does not have the right to speak, but must obey her husband's orders. In a scene of escape, the film feudalism further described the devastation of women. During the escape, Lily, due to the teaching of feudal bondage, stubbornly stayed in Xuehua's house and waited for her husband's return. On the way to escape, her feet could not keep up with everyone's rhythm, and she could not protect her children. After this experience, Lily also felt from the bottom of her heart her helplessness as a woman in society, her low status, and her self-control is in the hands of men. She couldn't help but sigh that fate taught me how weak it is to be a woman. She can't defend against society, so she can only change herself in the end. In the end, she compromised and said, I hope to be a good wife and change my destiny. A woman is powerless in feudal society, unable to resist, and finally can only choose to obey, the result is how helpless. For a long time, men have dominated the society, and women are only their accessories, like an object, without freedom and rights, only for them to control and satisfy their desires. In the film, Sophia always disguise herself as a woman to go to the bathhouse where her father went to, and even put the "secret fan" under her father's tablet, which made some sensitive feminists comment that in the end, "history" is still "he". "The story, even the secret words of "her" (Nvshu), must be placed under the protection (or surveillance) of the "Father's Law"!
So in terms of the complexity of the movie's plot, Jun Zhixian and Li Bingbing acted very tensely, and the strengths are the strengths. The 2011 movie doesn't know how many commercial films are slapped in the face.
This movie is worth watching again and again
