There are many movies about the themes of "unwanted pregnancy" and "early pregnancy", but the attitude expressed by various countries is different.
Like in American movies, many people should think of "Juno" for the first time.
Juno, a high school student of the Ghost Horse Elf, accidentally conceived a child after secretly tasting the forbidden fruit with her handsome male classmates in high school, and everyone around her was actively helping her.
But the whole movie of "Juno" is too beautiful and unreal, and some netizens' comments are very sharp: "Only the United States will have this kind of movie"! In a word, the essence of early pregnancy is broken.
After all, in most countries, unintended pregnancies are not a happy thing to be happy about.
The Nordic film I want to talk about today, "Ninja Baby", is also a comedic way, telling the story of the unexpected pregnancy of a young Norwegian girl, reflecting that even in the sexually open Nordic World, accidental pregnancy is not an easy thing to "digest".
Ninja Baby
Ninjababy
The female protagonist is called Raquel, who originally studied design in college, but dropped out of school halfway.
After dropping out of school, he shared a room with his girlfriend and lived a life of doing whatever he wanted.
Raquel took drugs, drank heavily, asked about pao, basically all the "problems" you can think of, she had it all.
During an Aiki class, Raquel noticed that her teacher was familiar, and on closer inspection, it turned out to be her pao friend from the previous week.
Raquel's reason for sleeping with him at the time was simple, simply because the man smelled good.
The "lovers" were extremely awkward to meet, and the teacher's actions could remind Raquel of that night.
So when the teacher and Raquel met after class, both of them tacitly did not mention the previous events.
But at this time, the heroine's girlfriend found some abnormalities in the heroine--the sense of smell was unusually sensitive, the chest became larger, the abdominal pain, the eating habits suddenly changed...
The heroine's girlfriend couldn't help but send out a soul torture question: "Are you pregnant?" ”
The suspected pregnancy undoubtedly dropped a big bomb on Raquel and made her think a lot about herself.
Although she has not had a menstrual period for more than half a year, it may be due to long-term use of contraceptives.
Raquel also recalled the five kinds of people he wanted to be in the future: astronauts, brewers, globetrotters, rangers, and illustrators.
There are people from all walks of life, but they don't have the status of mothers.
Raquel's reflection made it clear that she had no intention of becoming a mother at all.
But even if Raquel didn't want to, the fact of pregnancy couldn't be changed.
At this time, Raquel believes that the father of the child should be Aikido teacher, because he is his only recent friend.
But when the Aikido teacher accompanies Raquel to the clinic for an abortion, a scene of drama occurs, and the doctor tells Raquel that she is 26 weeks pregnant.
Because of his constitution, Raquel had no fertility and did not show his pregnancy.
So that's why Raquel was pregnant for several months and didn't realize she was pregnant.
This also means that the child that Raquel is pregnant with is not an Aikido teacher, and the Aikido teacher is a Happy Father.
But what was even more unacceptable to Raquel was that she had exceeded the time she could have had an abortion, and she could only choose to give birth to the child.
The first step in her solution was to identify the child's biological father.
After speculating with her girlfriend, she found out the child's real father, the Hanging Emperor. As for why it is called this name, everyone can understand it by looking at the picture.
The hanging emperor is as unreliable as the heroine, and he drinks drugs and drinks randomly, which he is dipped.
When the heroine found him, his first reaction was that the female main asked him to pao.
The second reaction is that the heroine has a venereal disease and depends on him. Just such an unreliable man, his attitude towards the child can also be imagined, he does not want this child.
Raquel told the emperor not to regret it, not to grab custody of the child after he found an adopter.
In the second step of the plan, Raquel decided to find a custodian for the unborn child.
In the process of finding a foster, Raquel was very troubled. It can be seen that the decision to send the child to raise, Raquel's heart is actually not easy.
In the end, Raquel finalized his sister as a foster, and the heroine's sister gave up a high-paying job in order to raise the child, and broke up with her boyfriend, which can be said to be in stark contrast to Raquel.
But when everything was on the right track, the emperor regretted it again, and he wanted to raise the child again.
The whole process can be described as a twist and turn, full of drama.
But even after all that, Raquel never changed his mind. In the film, Raquel makes it clear that even if she gives birth to a child, even if she holds the child in her arms, she still does not want the child for a minute or second.
At the end of the story, the heroine's career is on the right track, becoming a cartoonist, and publishing a book.
The child's biological father, the Hanging Emperor, is responsible for raising the child.
From the heroine to find the hanging emperor, to find a foster, to the child before the birth of the child, the child in the heroine's belly has become a cartoon ninja image that only the heroine can see, and often communicates with the heroine.
In addition, there are many comic plots in the movie, which add a lot of comedic color to the movie.
It is worth mentioning that "Ninja Baby" does not follow the conventional "prodigal girl back" routine, which is also one of the highlights of this movie.
Some netizens' comments are very appropriate.
"When a woman becomes pregnant unexpectedly and finds that she doesn't want to be a mother, does she really have the right to be inappropriate?"
"Ninja Baby" is a stark example of how women don't all seem to be potential mothers, nor are they containers of natural motherly love.
In recent years, with the rise of women's consciousness, the topic of reproductive rights has often appeared in the audience's field of vision.
In the Taiwanese drama "The Cultivation of Ordinary Women", the heroine Chen Jialing was originally an infertility, and after an unexpected pregnancy in her thirties, she faced a hard job, she initially chose to give up her child, but this behavior was condemned by her boyfriend.
Chen Jialing's mother, a typical traditional woman who teaches her husband and godson, because her husband falsely ligatures and accidentally conceives the third child, she is determined to give up this fetus, even if she faces pressure from her mother-in-law.
Because Jialing's mother had difficulty giving birth, she really did not want to experience the pain of childbirth again.
In this regard, "Ninja Baby", there is a very good line.
"Aren't we women always condemned for abortion? So why not forcibly give a man a sterilization? We women have to take anti-bipolar drugs, we have to install birth control devices in the vagina, and we have abortions, compared with us women, why do men go? Is it hard to take care of yourself? ”
Some of the ideas in "Ninja Baby" may not be accepted by many people, but they also boldly discuss women's duties as mothers from a new perspective. Overall, it's worth a look.
