In the spring festival new film "Journey to the West Daughter Country", tang monks and apprentices drank the water of the Zimu River in the Western Liang Women's Country, except for Sun Wukong, who was pregnant with all his belly, and had to ask for the spring water of the fallen fetus.
However, the film is born from the original story, adapts to the requirements of the times and makes a new interpretation, and also interprets the plot points in the original work with new meanings.
What if this fetal fountain setting is reminiscent of the constant unplanned pregnancies on TV? Foreign countries are mostly contraceptive advertisements.
This plot is placed on the Buddhist monk Tang monk, which will also lead to the moral problems of abortion and killing, the contradiction with the universal sentient beings, and the experience of the greatness of motherhood from a male perspective.
The movie has ideas about the handling of this plot, Tang Monk decided to give birth to the child, and Sun Wukong immediately decided to pour him the fetal water.
After this pregnancy event, the master and apprentice could have had a new understanding of life, which is also an interesting and profound topic for the movie, but unfortunately, this bridge section is only a head start.
In fact, the first part of "To Catch a Demon" also has a similar plot of a man's pregnancy.
When most people are lamenting computer special effects and cute Huba, the biggest impression of this movie is Huba's "physiological mother" Song Tianyin, a large part of the plot is around the man's pregnancy to expand the baggage, talk about gender perversion. The man also suffered from prenatal depression at one point, and joked a lot during confinement.
And the demon-catching Heavenly Master Huo Xiaolan naturally became the role of father. It is ethically supportive, it subverts the traditional concept of the female protagonist and the male protagonist in the past, if the man can get pregnant, it will be conducive to promoting social equality, and the film gives the audience such an imaginative space.
It can be seen that Ni Ni's boyfriend will be pregnant.
No, it can be seen that experiencing a woman's pregnancy from a male perspective can bring more gender empathy to the audience.
In Western culture, there are also many folklore of male pregnancy – in Norwegian mythology, the god Loki (yes, the Loki of Thor) gave birth to a pony twice.
In Greek mythology, Zeus ate the pregnant Metis and gave birth to Athena from his head. Similarly, Dionysus was conceived at the incision in Zeus's thigh.
When you see the topic of "men getting pregnant", many people may feel strange and more curious about this topic.
In the last third of the last third of the last century, the concept of male pregnancy received increasing attention in both popular culture and scientific research.
This topic has been continuously developed in film and television dramas, and it has repeatedly explored the future of men's pregnancy from a deeper perspective, and what kind of attitude men and women should hold. The earliest and most famous film was the famous French director Jacques. Demi directed A Slightly Pregnant Man (1973), starring Marcelo Maschuani and Caterina Deneuve.
Mastruani plays a male teacher at the Paris Driving School who is unwell and goes to the doctor, only to be declared four months pregnant.
When experts confirmed, the man was chased wildly by the media as well as advertisers.
Although the premise of the story is interesting, it is not very interesting to shoot. The director didn't explain why he was pregnant, just hinted that the foods he liked contained estrogen.
The film was shot in 1973 at the height of the women's liberation movement, and there were some discussions of women's liberation, such as a conversation in which women would think that a man's pregnancy would legalize abortion.
This point coincides with "The Daughter Country of Journey to the West", the monk said that he wanted to purify all sentient beings, how could he beat the fetus with the falling tire water? Apparently, "The Pregnant Man" is a progressive film, and the lines between men and women are beginning to blur. However, these are mostly depicted between words and have not been developed in the plot part.
The film clearly wanted to create the style of a '50s Hollywood melodrama, or the intent of a sci-fi satirical comedy like Monkey Business (1952).
Unfortunately, in the 92-minute period, the male protagonist waited until 45 minutes to be diagnosed with pregnancy, which seemed too late.
Subsequently, it almost abandoned the sexual perversion between husband and wife and turned to a broader sense of social satire, but it was limited to science, advertising, and media, and was too limited to produce broader social issues. And the public and the media seem to have easily embraced such a sensational event, which seems very untrustworthy.
In the 20 years since, this type of film has not increased in depth, only gaging on the topic of gender perversion.
American comedian Billy Christo also played a man who conceived a one-night stand in his screen debut, Rabbit Test (1978).
The title of the film is derived from an ancient earth method that uses the life and death of a rabbit to test pregnancy.
The film is in line with "Pregnant Man" and focuses on the social effects of this man's overnight fame.
Although it is the only film directed by talk show actress Joan Rivers, it has not brought much delicate brushstrokes to the perspective of a female director, only seeing her talk show skills, blindly funny and ironic. There are even some funny and crude passages that were heavily criticized when they were released.
But with the passage of time, the film has become a niche cult, and many believe that its satire is ahead of its time.
Schwarzenegger's "Junior" (1994) is the most recognizable of its kind.
Schwarzenegger plays a researcher whose fertility drug was rejected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, his job was replaced by a new doctor, and the experimental gorilla could not be used, and he had to continue secretly testing to implant a fertilized egg for himself and become pregnant. In order to give birth to the child, he had to survive for nine months.
The film does present the emotions of men feeling women as mothers, and Schwarzenegger has a very keen intuition for this role, he is aware of all the changes that occur inside the body, and interprets this vividness with a frank performance, embracing his feminine side with a man's perspective.
Going further than Dustin Hoffman's "anti-string" women's Tootsie (1982), Schwarzenegger's character learns not only to be a woman, but also to be a better man. I think it's all done for the theme that such a film wants to express.
However, although it should have the depth it should have, this theme is not really suitable for comedy, it can have some comedic aspects, but it should not form the tone of the whole film. There are some emotionally sad elements in it, which are handled very awkwardly.
Some of the plots of Veyron II are based on a 1981 German novel, Seitenstechen (The Pain of Life). The book was also adapted into a German film Seitenstechen in 1985.
A year after the release of "Veyron II", Taiwan's China Film launched a "Kangaroo Man". The story tells that a couple has not had children for various reasons, so the husband decides to use high technology to get pregnant himself, but he did not expect that the situation after pregnancy was even more annoying.
This is a light comedy, it weakens the scientific part, weakens the traditional comedy of this kind of subject, but more Ang Lee movies.
The pregnancy thing is transformed into a man, because of the pressure of the media and society, there is a change from the outside in. The changes inside are mainly temperament and habits, and it can be seen that the choreographer's observation of the small things in life is meticulous: the male protagonist is looking for sour cucumbers in the supermarket, drinking sour and spicy soup in the middle of the night, loving ice cream, jealous of tender molds and other temperament changes are very delicate, and these interpretations by Qiu Xinzhi are extremely cute.
Screenwriter Li Li is a famous writer, the director is female director Liu Yiming, this is her debut feature film, she has previously been Wu Tianming, Zhang Yimou, Andy Lee's assistant.
The Star Trek series' imagination of science is so all-encompassing, and there's also a topic of male pregnancy in the episode "Unexpected" in Star Trek: Enterprise: Commander Tucker undergoes hormonal changes and accidentally "gets pregnant" after playing a game with an alien species. While not being pregnant in the traditional sense, the alien baby simply uses Tucker's body as the host host, but it does follow some pregnancy metaphors.
Tucker also said to the engineer: "My chief engineer, I spent years to get this position, but I never wanted to be a working mother!"
The reverse story of a man's pregnancy is actually not strange in film and television dramas. Although in reality, this is still a science fiction setting. At least in the movie world, men can "experience" the experience of pregnancy, know the hardships of women's pregnancy, and better understand the greatness of women!
