Recently, I always like to watch healing movies. In the first half of the movie, I don't know what it has to do with "how beautiful life is", but the male protagonist has always lived a kind life. Only later did I know how different their lives would be when this town had no male protagonist.
But these don't make me feel the same way as Psychic. Because the male protagonist is not an ordinary person, he is kind and excellent, he has a lot of things, he helps many people around him with his intelligence, so that people in the whole town are free from being exploited by capitalists and have their own houses to live in . At the end of the story, when he got into trouble, the whole town didn't ask why they were willing to give him money. As his brother said, he was the richest man in the town.
Therefore, it is really difficult for ordinary people like us to have a sense of substitution. After all, we will inevitably feel that we are not that smart, have a sense of responsibility, and have a sense of social responsibility.
But this still doesn't affect the ending of "Friendship Is Everlasting" that moved me, and I still like to see some of the better sides of human nature. In the absence of the male protagonist, Nick's character is different from before, so I believe that human nature will change according to the environment. When the male protagonist's company exists, people are happier, more polite and kind.
But if you look at the film through a feminist lens, it also falls short. Because the film tells the story of the hero's enthusiasm, kindness and intelligence, and sacrificed his dreams for the people of the town.
However, she only used the narration to tell the wife's sacrifice and carried it lightly. Isn't it hard for her to raise four children? In the end, when the male protagonist encountered such a big difficulty in the company, he did not vent with others, but vented so frantically to his wife and children at home.
Of course, it can be said that in the film, the wife's dream is to marry her husband and teach children, but why do you want to shape such a woman, why can't such a beautiful quality be placed on women? Can't a woman's dream be to travel around the world, and to be witty, kind, and excellent? Everything in the movie is shaped by the director and the screenwriter, but why is it so shaped?
It can only be said that the limitations of the times (?) Although we have not seen much progress now.
