"Oh, it's the old-fashioned rhetoric of omnipotence again." But there's something in Wonder Woman that I desperately need, and probably something people will need right now. [Spoilers] [No pictures] A superhero movie with a female protagonist makes this point at the risk of being labeled as "playing the political correctness card." But I still choose to start by writing what this movie means to me in that regard. It really matters. Playing a hand always sounds like an exploitative hand, but girls and ladies need their own heroes. It is true that the performance of female characters on the big screen has changed a lot with the development of the times. From the beginning, they were only responsible for being charming and charming, and gradually they began to have rich personalities and a broader space for play. They can be They can also be tough, wise and powerful, who are unique talents in their respective fields. But that's not enough. They just appeared, and they weren't shaped, solidly shaped*. This situation (especially in superhero movies) is not unreasonable, after all, the film is not about their stories. The setting of female characters is usually only based on the central role, and they are born to promote the plot. They can be vivid, but they cannot exist independently. No one cares about Pepper's parents, Peggy's childhood, or Jane Foster's research (seriously, she's always called Natalie in my head). [Don't say Tasha buried a lot of relevant clues, I also want to know where her independent films are: 3] And Diana is completely different, not only because she is not extraordinary, she is the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, she is absolutely strong without protection, but also because she is the center of the plot. She doesn't appear as someone's girlfriend, wife, colleague, assistant, friend, she is herself. She is the character in the center of the posters and photos, charging at the forefront of the battlefield, riding the first horse as she travels through the forest. The ordinary scenes in these ordinary action movies made me almost cry. It captures a deep inner longing that I didn't even realize myself. It turns out that all I have been watching before are the stories of "their", it turns out that having your own story can bring such a sense of happiness. I think this may be the feeling that every time I go to the supermarket, I can only face black children full of white dolls, and suddenly get a doll like myself. And then I rarely get jealous of boys, hey. Her Perspective Here, what makes Diana special is that she is an outsider, an observer of human society. In this distant world that she only read about in books, many of her actions are not ignoring established rules and taboos, but those rules and regulations never existed for her. Because of this, her every move can make us see the absurd in the things we are used to, and some of the questions she asks are particularly pointed. Do women really need whalebone underwear and exaggerated skirts? Can a room be turned away just because she is a woman? Why can a few people sitting in a conference room decide the lives of soldiers and civilians in the distance? Questions like this are still being asked and discussed in the past and the present, and things like the last question may have a standard answer that automatically pops up in my mind. The value of Diana's question is to strike at this established connection and push us to start thinking again. What also struck a chord was her innocence. She looked at Steve's body calmly, and made no secret of her doubts and curiosity. She doesn't see him as a potential sexual partner when confronted by the naked opposite sex, she sees Steve as just—a human being, another creature of her kind. The film thus establishes a purely idealistic relationship between women and men. The setting of Paradise Island is very similar to Wakanda in the MCU. They are all born to provide different possibilities - if there are women who are never attached to the group and are born independent; if there are women who have never been touched by the colonists, highly Developed African countries? And in the trenches on the front line, her childishness became unbearable, didn't she? Those unfortunate people are obviously irrelevant in this war, she can't grasp the main contradiction, does not act according to the plan, the kindness of women... But why not? Steve chose to move on, not because he didn't want to help them, but because he knew what he couldn't do; but what about the audience in the theater? Empathy is no laughing matter, nor should one be indifferent to the suffering of others, and history has told us more than once the consequences of this gate disappearing. Shattering and rebuilding (Diana showed us a morally perfect person with a pure heart, and what did we bring her?) This is not strictly a story of finding love and faith, because Diana is in the The story starts with them. But her love comes from a heart that has never been infected by evil, and her beliefs are more ignorant. She believes in the goodness and goodness of human beings, just as she believes that killing Ares will end all wars. In the movie, her innocence is constantly being challenged. The island where she was born is no longer a sanctuary of isolation, she is shocked by the brutality of the war in the outside world, and at the same time feels hesitant and painful for the suffering of people. But these experiences did not shake her heart, but instead strengthened her original beliefs: God of War must be defeated, and only then will it end. She still sees human beings as God's perfect creation, their fall only because of the control of external evil. God-killing swords and shields are the embodiment of this belief. That's why Diana's cold weapons were invincible when fighting machine guns and artillery fire, but turned into powder in Ares' palm when she discovered the possibility of human evil. There's no button to stop it at all, the fact that the people she loves are inherently brutal fanatics, she swallows hard in battle. But she also knew other people who had kind, tenacious souls. This is no longer a decision on whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. Both are inherent in nature, and what matters is what choice you make. Some people chose to let go of greed and ambition, some people chose to die for the happiness of more people, Diana chose to forgive, and chose to believe in the kindness in people's hearts. In the movie, we are not surprised to see that this regained belief brings her the winning blow. Well, how else can I shoot? Discussions of choice, faith, and love pop up in fiction with unparalleled frequency, but that doesn't mean they're not relevant. It is indeed just empty words that love can conquer everything, but the power of ideas does not come from itself, but from their believers and practitioners. When the picture of their wartime love was on camera, I knew Steve wasn't going to survive. Maybe Steve himself knew he wasn't going to survive. The spy, the pilot, the hero in the memory kill, think about it. Steve is a warrior, although he doesn't seem to belong to the battlefield. None of them belong to the battlefield, they are all ordinary people who were taken away by the war. But it was this war that brought them together. In just a few days, he held her hand, took her shopping, kissed her lips; danced with her, drank and chatted with her, and fought side by side with her. Steve knew he could fall under a hail of bullets at any moment, but he was lucky to get through day after day. But when he picked up Diana in the next battle, he knew there was really no tomorrow. He held her face in his hands and looked ready to kiss her at any moment, but he just stared at the girl he loved for a long time, and the countless futures they might have seemed to flow in his eyes. Then he said I love you, then turned and ran to the inevitable death. And she missed this deafening confession in the buzzing tinnitus. Did you hear it? Or the voice of his heart that has not dissipated came from the sky. I never knew a line that couldn't be more cliché could be so moving. / It's not easy to make a pair of bg's these days :( Related: This is the first DC movie I've seen. I feel that I will add it after the second brush. *Solid/Fully shaping is a rather vague statement, but there are some tests It can be simply quantified, such as the Bechdel test and Mako Mori test: No matter how Pai changes his clothes, he can't hide the temperament of the koala country from the inside out. Such a spy has not been seen at first sight. 233333
