The theme of revenge, if it is separated from "cool", it is not a good movie.
"The Girl with a Bright Future" is one such movie, but this movie is different from the traditional revenge movie.
Its process is not so smooth, there is no excessive bloody scene, although the final successful revenge, but still make people cry.
Before interpreting the film, let's throw a few questions.
Smoking, drinking, bungee jumping, such a girl is not a good girl? Drunk into a pool of mud, being picked up by someone, so as to have a relationship, such a girl is not deserved?
With these questions, come to see "The Girl with a Bright Future".
In the movie, Cathy lies drunk on the booth of the nightclub, and there is no one around.
Her eyes are confused, her posture is provocative, and every action exudes a breathtaking charm, especially the temptation outlined by the miniskirt makes the men who are eager to move salivate.
Soon, there were men coming forward to talk, and the routine was repetitive but effective.
He first cared about the greeting and showed a considerate side, and then helped Cathy find a mobile phone without success, and offered to call a car to take her home.
Cathy did not refuse his kindness, followed the man to the car, and acquiesced to the idea of taking himself home for another drink.
When he got home, he put his hands on Cathy, kissed and stroked, and not a single one fell.
In the thick love of this dry firewood, two people turned from the bedroom sofa to the bed, and the man excitedly undressed and nibbled wildly.
Just as he was about to succeed, Cathy, who was originally drunk and confused, suddenly got up and said to him soberly, "Hey, I said, what are you doing?" ”
Cathy wasn't drunk at all, she pretended to be drunk and unconscious, and deliberately "fished for men".
Just when they thought they could do whatever they wanted and take advantage of the opportunity, Cathy questioned them with a sober face, letting them experience the shame of revealing their true faces.
It wasn't the first time Cathy had done such a thing, and it could be seen from her dense notebook that the objects of her hunt could form a reinforced company.
In addition to this seemingly crazy move, Cathy in life is still an older scrap that makes her parents a little annoyed.
She was originally a medical student with a bright future, but now that she is 30 years old, she still stays at home and lives in a friend's coffee shop, and her life is muddy.
Ignoring the work introduced to her by her friends, not caring about the reminders of the suitcases sent by her parents on her birthday, still going her own way, negative during the day and hunting at night.
Why did The promising Cathy become like this?
During her school days, she had a good friend, Nina, who was intimate and talked about everything, and was a good student at the top of the school.
One day, Cathy did not come to school, Nina and her classmates got drunk, and then there was a tragedy that Nina and Cathy would never forget.
Taking advantage of Nina's drunken unconsciousness, classmate Al and others gang-raped her.
Afterwards, Nina told the principal of the school about this, but she did not think so, and thought that Nina was inappropriate and discredited the school, so she dismissed her request with gibberish.
The disobedient Nina filed a complaint in court, but no one but Cathy stood up to testify on her behalf, and the lawyer who defended Al threatened to withdraw the case.
Forced to be helpless, Nina chose to quit school, living in fear all day long, in order to take care of Nina, Cathy also dropped out of school.
However, this is an era when life and dignity are as light as a feather.
If a person lives in the world and does not feel the meaning of her existence at all, or the respect of society for her, then she will do something out of the ordinary.
In the midst of unprovoked gossip, Nina ended her supposedly brilliant life.
Nina's death irritates Cathy, and in the face of their evil, Cathy decides to punish them.
Her first target is Madison, one of the parties involved, pretending to reminisce with her and coaxing her to drink a lot of wine.
When she was drunk, Cathy told her about Nina, but the result was a sentence of "You are drunk and forced to have sex with someone else, don't expect anyone to be on your side." ”
The implication is that the drunken girl deserves it, and What happens to Nina is her own doing.
After hearing this, Cathy left disappointed, leaving Madison, who was about to break the piece.
She had arranged in advance, given a room card to the man who had prepared it on the side, told him to go according to plan, and the man had taken the drunken Madison to the hotel.
Afterwards, Madison made countless phone calls and text messages to Cathy to confirm whether he had done anything out of the ordinary after he was drunk, but Cathy ignored it.
The second target was Walker, the president of the medical school where Cathy had attended.
After a moment of greeting, Cathy mentioned Nina to him, but the headmaster had long forgotten about the person.
After Cathy had finished her story, the headmaster said, "Does every accusation of a drunken girl ruin another young man's life?" So I can only suspect nothing. ”
Her meaning was clear that the victims were guilty, because she could not prove herself, so they could not punish Al's good students for lack of evidence.
The whip wouldn't hurt if it didn't hit her, and Cathy knew it.
She spoke slowly to the headmaster that she had locked her daughter in a room with several bottles of wine and a few strong boys.
Without even thinking about what would happen next, the headmaster became angry and scolded Cathy for ruining a young man, and Cathy was indifferent.
Seeing that his anger could not change Cathy's behavior, the headmaster began to repent and weep for his dereliction of duty.
In fact, Cathy did not hurt them.
Madison was not insulted by the men Cathy had found, nor was Dean Walker's daughter.
Cathy gets what she wants, she punishes the people who have hurt Nina, and makes them realize that what they did was wrong.
When all this was done, Cathy planned to start over.
She cleans up the bad life, repairs the relationship with her parents, and talks to each other; forgets Nina's misery and lives forward; and talks about marriage with her boyfriend Ryan, and it seems that everything is moving towards the good.
Until Madison showed Cathy a video, let the current beauty disappear, and make the previous revenge worse.
In the video, Nina screams in horror and the others revel in excitement.
With hatred and plans to exchange her life for her life, Cathy finds the culprit who gang-raped Nina, Al, where he was at the bachelor party before his marriage, where there are many classmates.
Cathy dresses up as a nurse and enters the party as a stripper.
Drugged and stunned the others, she led Al upstairs to her room and handcuffed him.
Cathy was ready to use what she had learned in medical school to engrave Nina's name on every inch of Al's skin, making him worse off alive than dead.
However, luck did not take Cathy's side.
Al broke free of the handcuffs, reflexively grabbed a pillow and killed Cathy, burning her body with Joe.
The film doesn't end there, and reversals follow.
Cathy had already anticipated the worst, so she planned ahead.
A timed text message was set up, and A message was sent to Ryan that read, "You don't really think this is the end." ”
He sent a video of Nina's humiliation to the lawyer, along with the news that she might have been killed, and told him to give the evidence to the police if he disappeared.
Finally, at Al's wedding ceremony, the sirens broke the atmosphere of elation.
The police find Cathy's incinerated body and arrest Al, who is enjoying the wedding, for murder, although not sexual assault, but he is finally punished for his own obstinate behavior.
In the case of Nina's assault, Al was by no means alone, but they were indifferent.
They prefer self-righteous revelry to the truth behind it, and bystanders want things to be interesting and go along with their imaginations.
As for the groundless denigration of the victims, they do not care in most cases, so it can be seen that ghosts are not terrible, but terrible is the human heart.
These bystanders, who are confronted with the fact of harming others, choose to be blind.
They may not be the murderers of the case, just keyboard men who are keen to watch the hilarity, but they are the most hateful and despicable people in the world.
"They watch the fire from the other side, but they treat the fire as fireworks as a festival; when they see the drowning people, they use the splash as a fountain and clap their hands."
Rather than the truth, these things are not about themselves but only love to coax people, more willing to believe hearsay, uglier, more unlimited.
Blindness is legal blindness, and they selectively turn a blind eye.
For example, Al's defense lawyer will collect a lot of evidence of Nina's misconduct, make the jury resent Nina, and then use threats and other means to force Nina to withdraw the lawsuit.
They completely disregard the justice of the law and will do whatever it takes to achieve their ends whenever they receive money.
Blindness is mental blindness, they laugh, they laugh, they are sarcastic, they are indifferent.
When Nina was being insulted by a group of people, those classmates had a nonchalant attitude, and even recorded videos as gossip.
Blindness is an untenable excuse.
When Cathy seeks justice in her own way and takes revenge for Nina, Ryan and Al speak in a surprisingly consistent tone, saying, "We were children, and children did whatever they wanted, and they didn't care." ”
"Blind" people like them are the most hateful beings.
They would follow the hustle and bustle and go to see people with colored glasses, so people who broke stereotypes became heroes, and people who lived under stereotypes became demons.
They are passers-by, they are also murderers, they have not experienced the pain of others, but they have put on a high posture to persuade people to be generous, and this kind of person should stay away from him when thundering.
"The Girl with a Bright Future" is somewhat one-sided in its intention, overemphasizing women's rights and blindly believing that men are guilty.
Such a perception is obviously wrong, deliberately setting off a debate between men and women, and the understanding of women's rights is not comprehensive enough.
Men should use clear body language to make women less fearful, but women should not grasp anything small and start "punching".
So what does true feminism look like?
Feminism is not the same as female superiority, nor is it the so-called dominance of women over men and dominion over men.
The real feminist should be like this, regardless of men and women, we are all social, political, economic equals.
