Feminist.
Not many people watch it, and the current Douban score is 7.7.
The protagonist of the story, Cody (played by Anna Kendrick), is an obscure little screenwriter.
Her life is uneventful, her career has not improved much, and her love life is not turbulent.
One night, Cody and her boyfriend are ready to engage in a fun role-play.
However, when she prepares to go to bed, she accidentally discovers a sequin decoration that does not belong to her...
Cody was suspicious, wondering if her boyfriend was secretly meeting other women behind her back.
She angrily questioned her boyfriend, who, although he didn't cheat, had to embarrassingly tell the truth: the sequins fell from the inflatable doll he bought.
This scene devastated Cody, and he didn't understand why his boyfriend needed an inflatable doll, was he not sexy and charming enough...
Even more surprising things happened later...
Cody suddenly heard someone calling her name, and the sound seemed to come from the closet.
She opened the closet and found that it was her boyfriend's inflatable doll.
What's even more incredible is that this doll not only speaks, but also calls itself "Barbara".
Barbara is not only a talker, but also a master of language arts.
She tells Cody that she knows everything about her boyfriend, including his most secret sexual fetishes.
This makes Cody wonder if she is hallucinating, but Barbara's request is real and urgent, and she needs Cody's help to wash her lower body...
Despite feeling embarrassed and uneasy, Cody eventually agreed to Barbara's request.
However, Barbara didn't let Cody go because she was helped.
While mocking Cody's figure, she pointed out that her boyfriend didn't really love her: "He's just good to you because of his sexual interest. Before we subverted patriarchy, we were all inflatable dolls."
This remark made Cody fall into deep thought.
Although on the surface she is a docile person, deep down she is a staunch feminist.
Barbara seems to be Cody's alter ego, the Cody who usually doesn't dare to say or do it, and through Barbara's mouth, she said her true thoughts.
Although "Doll" is a light comedy, it delves into feminism through the character of Barbara.
Although Barbara is an inflatable doll, every word she says is full of satire on the patriarchal society and deep meditation on the status of women.
Through his interactions with Barbara, Cody gradually realizes his place in his relationship and life.
She is no longer just a little screenwriter who passively accepts reality, but has begun to take the initiative to fight for her rights and dignity.
