Over the years, feminism has not lacked attention on the big screen.
The grounded explosion represents the Indian film "Wrestling Bar Daddy", which makes thousands of Chinese parents who hope to become a dragon and a daughter into a phoenix tearful, and also allows Chinese audiences to update their cognition for the song and dance melody of Indian inspirational films.
Representatives of domestic literary and art films include Hao Lei and the film "Mother" Jin Yanling that she named as she wanted to cooperate - "Spring Tide".
"Your relationship with your mother determines your relationship with the world", people who understand naturally understand, and people who sigh naturally sigh, if you have seen it.
The niche portrayal represents this work that allows the lead actor Awkwafina to precipitate acting skills, from the fast-talking little thief sister in "Hidden sky and the sea: Beauty Plan" and the second forced girlfriend assisted by god in "Picking Gold" to step into a deep and natural acting work - "Don't Tell Her".
When she heard her mother in the film ask her: Are you sure you want to continue your life like this? She replied: poor and sexy? Yes. It was really tearful, and every girl who had been stubborn on the streets of New York understood it.
So, with such a basket of chestnuts, what exactly is feminism?
Let's take a look at Baidu entries
A popular explanation?
The true value of women's emancipation lies in the realization of women's independence and self-pursuit.
So, what kind of screen/screen work will awaken women's self-awakening and move people at the same time?
The conversation begins
Editor, Editor: Jiang Buji
Introduction, Editor-in-Charge: Zhu Lingyi
Curated: Leave the bookroom behind
Liu Xiaodai: Let's talk about the female directors you like.
Zhu Lingyi: I personally recommend it, as a female elder idol, I admire her.
As a female director, she gave experience and gentle encouragement after her delicate observation of the same kind of life, like a fashionable and gentle sister, giving women a smile and generously sharing life secrets.
Ling Xiao: First of all, I like Coppola more, she is a director with a very sense of atmosphere, and her "Lost in Tokyo" is very familiar to everyone.
And Hitman, the director of Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always, I first met her from an American drama called "Thirteen Reasons," about a girl who was treated unfairly.

There is also the director of "Portrait of a Burning Woman" and the female director of "Paris, Texas" Claire Denis, whose "Ten Minutes of Aging" I also like.
Xi Lou Chen: One of my favorite female directors is called Arnold, she has filmed "Fish Tank" and "American Sweetheart" before, and I think these two films are very good.
Liu Xiaodai: I recommend a "Spring Tide" directed by Yang Lina, which is also a feminist film directed by women, starring Hao Lei.

Liu Xiaodai: The movie "Portrait of a Burning Woman" just mentioned by Ling Xiao was very popular last year, this is an LGBT movie made by a female director, how do you understand the female characters in it?
Ling Xiao: When I first watched this movie, I remembered Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, and I think these two movies can be called de-gendered.
Because Ang Lee, as a male director, has a very delicate perspective, very similar to "Portrait of a Burning Woman", the emotion you feel from it cannot be defined as the emotion between men and women or the emotion between LGBT, but its emotions are common, and you don't focus on this is a movie between two women or a movie between two men, and I think this is a good job.

Zhu Lingyi: I interjected a little gossip, and I heard that the creators of this film left the table in anger when they learned that Polanski had won the award at the César Awards.
I personally feel that the film festival should give talented works that deserve to be shown a chance to be publicized, but I am supportive and understanding of her as a female director who expressed such a disgruntled attitude towards Polanski at the film festival.
Ling Xiao: At the end of the film, the two women still failed to follow their hearts, the painter still left, and the rich lady still had to marry the person she did not want to marry, which made me think that no matter how much effort they made in the early stage, no matter how many transgressions they had, in the end they still could not escape the constraints given by the family and society.
This is how I understand the César Prize event: I don't support anger because this prize was awarded to Polanski, because art is done by a lot of people, you can't oppose this work because you are against this person, but I agree that this award is given to him at the same time as the film festival to express the attitude of anger, I hope that more people will see women who are not satisfied with him as a person, and many people will come back to this matter, focusing on the topic of film festivals and feminism.
Xi Lou Chen: By the way, I recommend a few small language movies that I have seen at film festivals. One is Moroccan "Adam", one is Called "The Women of Kabul" in Afghanistan, and the other is Called "God Exists, Her Name is Petrunia".

We can see a commonality, although these countries are relatively small, there are not many films, but the most important thing they make by female directors now is an indictment, such as an indictment of the basic treatment of Afghan women.
[She said 02] The Taliban took over Afghanistan, and the female director called for a voice in grief
Maybe now in our country, everyone has begun to discuss how women's rights go to male reciprocity, but in the Middle East and some remote countries, they may still be struggling with whether women have their own reproductive rights, can they choose not to have this child, can not be domestic violence these very basic issues, of course, these problems may also appear in our society. So I hope you have the opportunity to watch the women's films of these small language countries, and see their discussions and accusations about the most basic survival of women.

Liu Xiaodai: I have seen a film called "Goddess on the Battlefield", which tells the story of a group of female soldiers in the Middle East, and it makes me see that outside of our parallel country, there are such tough female figures.
In addition to that, I would like to ask, what do you think of the creation of male and female directors? Do you think that the director is the director, and should not be divided into men and women, or do you feel that nature gives men and women different physical characteristics and different perspectives, and should create different works?
Ling Xiao: I think in fact, many male directors have made things that also have what we call a female perspective. For example, the director of "Married Life", Ella Sachs, he had a movie called "Frankie" in Cannes last year, which was played by Hupel, and his film also has a very delicate part of women, which makes me think that women from the perspective of male directors will also make people shine.
Xi Louchen: So, I think "Marriage Story" is also very rare, and it is difficult for us to predict that the director of this film, Baumbach, a straight man, will know so much about women.
Ling Xiao: Speaking of Baumbach, I love his "Frances Ha" very much. What struck me most about "Frances Ha" was the realism of the girl as a girl. I would say that as a woman, you have the right not to be good, you have the right to fail, you can have negative emotions, no one is asking you to be a good woman, sometimes you have to give the right to have negative emotions.

Xi Lou Chen: And "American Lover", you must watch it, it is also filmed by him, talking about two girls, as a boy I feel that he understands girls very well, and shoots girls very well.
I would like to ask you what kind of female films do you think our Chinese language needs now? Everyone just talked about exactly two kinds, one is the European observational style, and the other is the basic accusation type of third world countries, so in the current China, what kind of women's films do you expect to see?
Liu Xiaodai: The female works of female directors that I most want to see can break through the limitations of women's perspectives, can look at the world more broadly, can put forward some issues and phenomena in the world, and can help women speak out.
Xi Louchen: Our neighbor South Korea already has such films, like "Kim Ji-young in '82" and "Hummingbird", I think they are already ahead of us. I think there are still too few feminist films in our country with female-based themes like "Spring Tide", "Send Me to the Clouds", and "Under the Sun", so we have a new expectation.
(Poster for the movie "Under the Sun")
Ling Xiao: I recommend that you watch "Nanping Evening Bell", when I watch this film, some of the things I have experienced actually made me feel uncomfortable, but I think we need this kind of film that makes you feel uncomfortable.
But I hope it will be a little more intense, a little more violent. There's a Taiwanese movie called "Sunshine", and it starts with the male protagonist's hand being cut off, which is very violent, and I think we need this feeling that makes you feel like a tiger.
Liu Xiaodai: I like the movie "Tropical Rain" very much, its director Chen Zheyi is a male director, but he made all the parts that women can empathize with. Including the state of the teacher, family relationships, too real.
(Poster for the movie "Tropical Rain")
Xi Lou Chen: But I think the confusion, distress and obstacle of the women shown in "Tropical Rain", in which the heroine wants to conceive, wants to have a child, her other troubles, including the helpless state when confessed by the little boy, and her middle-aged behavior are all I can imagine, it can't break through my imagination from a male perspective, if you can give me a new point I will feel good.
Xi Lou Chen: I want to summarize, I think that the future of women's films will definitely shine, it still has a lot of space to write, a lot of themes to express. Many female directors will definitely excel, and when we watch a lot of movies from a male perspective, I will look forward to LGBT movies and women's movies shine, which will also make many viewers feel that they have seen new content, which is a big expectation for my future.
