The female characters in the film have changed greatly from ancient times to the present, and we can reinterpret the film from the transfer of the protagonist's gender (from male to female) and the reversal of the character class (male superiority and female inferiority). If it is too boring to simply discuss feminism, today I want to take you to see the violent female characters that appear in the movie!
Blue Jasmine (2013) – Kate Blanchett
Director: Woody Allen
"Blue Jasmine" made Kate Blanchett win the Academy Award for Best Actress with superb acting skills, and it has to be said that Sister Kate's energy in the movie is also in a state of rampage. Originally Kate lived in New York and lived a noblewoman-like life, although she always knew that her husband was a playboy who sowed seeds everywhere, in order to enjoy the life of losing money, he only opened his eyes, but suddenly found that all his husband's money was cheated, he did not expect that his husband even cheated Kate's sister and his wife's money, and finally left the big city to find his sister to heal. Unexpectedly, he soon met a Prince Charming, and Dorkin and handsome Kate were completely powerless, but did not want to face him with a downcast identity, so they had to create their own new identity to deceive the world every day.
In the play, Kate lives in the fantasy every day but still lives strong in the way of intoxicating herself, finding a job as a dentist assistant and also repairing interior design, which is basically the representative of modern independent women. Because men let Kate fall to the bottom several times, and because men Kate can start her life again on her own from the brink of collapse, breaking the male authority and highlighting the characteristics of women who overcome everything independently.
02. Kill Bill (2003) – Uma Thurman
Director: Quentin Tarantino
The film is called to kill Bill, Quentin spent two episodes to portray Uma Thurman as a female hero, in order to avenge her can practice kung fu, kill the world's negative people just to achieve their own justice, a dozen to a dozen five, ten, fifteen is no problem. The feminist writer Simonpova once said, "We are not women, we are gradually becoming women." In fact, it is only to argue that the reason why women have long been weak between the two sexes is because they cannot actively fight for their own rights and interests, and most of the time they are supporters of men. In Kill Bill, we see Uma Thurman also trapped by Bill (the male symbol), but after all the suffering, she is reborn from the blood, followed by a duel between women and women, and has long forgotten everything about men.
03. The Hours (2002) – Meryl Streep / Julianne Moore / Nicole Kidman
Director: Steven Dudley
Virginia Woolf wrote the book "A Room One's Own" in 1929, opening the door to the exploration of women's self-status, and "All the Time" uses Virginia Woolf's "Lady Dailwig" as the background of the story, connecting the self-enlightenment and liberation of women who are confused in three eras. All three women have all given up their life's purposes for different reasons, trapped in the traditional thinking of the heroine's inner value, and finally liberated and redeemed themselves in different ways.
I Spit on Your Grave (2010) – Sarah Butler
Directed By: Steven M. R. Monjol
"I Spit on Your Grave" is a 1978 avant-garde revenge film that was remade in 2010, and the new version revolves around three bad guys plus a sheriff who commits violence against a heroine who comes to the countryside alone to mediate her body and mind. A month later, the heroine eats the Hercules Pill and returns to the scene of the crime to fish everyone back, for tat, and double everything that the bad guys did to him! Ways to get revenge include exposing the bad guy who used the camera to frantically record the heroine's sexual assault process to nature, letting the wild fowl peep, invade and destroy the bad guy's body; forcing the feeding of corrosive liquid to the bad guy Two who had pressed his head into the dirt water, crushing the masculine character of the man when facing danger, forcing out his true fear and femininity; and even directly reversing patriarchy, shoving the barrel of the gun into the backyard of the bad guy inspector and aiming it at the head of the mentally handicapped bad guy. The plate machine smashes the double eagle with one stone and playfully breaks all male dignity.
"I Spit on Your Grave" greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of female characters in the film, and reshapes the female image in the film with violence and symbols. Many of the top ten banned films in film history have included this movie, and I think those who list this movie as a banned film are probably very afraid that one day they will provoke the dragon and the tiger, and accidentally provoke the tigress.
05. Horrible Bosses (2011) – Jennifer Aniston
Director: Seth Gordon
Jennifer Aniston appears in the film as a slut boss, in addition to routinely verbally harassing Dale, one of the male protagonists, and secretly giving him a laugh and taking the opportunity to leave a sexual selfie. Although many male viewers should feel that having such a boss is not happy, and meeting the needs of the boss is a must for good employees (Wei ~), but Jennifer Aniston's such an unbearable liberation is definitely the top few of the list.
06. Forty-Seven Ronin (47 Ronin, 2013)—Rinko Kikuchi
Directed By: Carl Ricky
Kikuchi Rinko at the beginning of 2015 broke out with the parasitic beast male protagonist Someya to cultivate the love of his sister and brother into a positive fruit, is about to enter the palace of marriage, there is such an explosive change in real life, how did she run wild in "Forty-Seven Ronin"? Is it not a runaway for her to turn into an earth lice dragon?! You know that Dragon Balls have to find seven Dragon Balls to summon the Dragon, and she will change in one fell swoop! Aren't you running yet?
07. American Hustle (2013) – Jennifer Lawrence
Directed By: David S. O. Russell
Jennifer Lawrence in David M. O. Russell played two very crazy women under the lens, and both were nominated for the Oscar acting award, the success of the role is of course related to Jennifer's own personality, but in "American Hoax" crazy, hysterical but can capture the heart of men's pitiful appearance, it is indeed charming and unique, in addition to her some weird, funny behavior, sexy figure with clothing, completely using herself as a weapon.
08. Orphan (2009) – Isabella Fuhrman
Director: Zomi Shirla
"Orphan Grudge" is a very, very special work for the theme of this article, because this character is definitely a "woman", but she is actually hidden in the body of a girl, unlike a mature woman who uses her own body, and the protagonist Ester instead uses his innocent side as a weapon, committing evil deeds that the audience cannot imagine; so who says that a vicious woman must have the appearance of a snake and scorpion beauty?
09. Snowpiercer (2013) – Tilda Swindon
Director: Bong Joon-ho
Tilda Swinton has always loved to challenge different characters and conquer bizarre shapes! The original setting of Commander Mason, whom she played in the movie "Doomsday Train", was actually a man, but after Tilda Swinton appeared in disguise, the image of a cool official full of cunning and coldness exceeded the audience's imagination, and every limb and every line was shocking and powerful, and he was never soft in order to maintain the order of the end.
10. Confessions (Confessions, 2010)—Takako Matsu
Director: Tetsuya Nakajima
Some women can't mess with it, and angry teachers can't afford it! Matsu Takako played a single mother whose beloved daughter was murdered in "Confessions", the opening seems to be a calm, emotionless performance, and does not exude any lethality, only uncomfortable sense of oppression, but as the plot develops to the end, only to know that all the plans and arrangements are in the teacher's plan, people can't help but feel: You little fart children also want to fight with the angry old woman!
In fact, I originally wanted to let everyone have a simple understanding of "feminist" movies through special topics, but I didn't expect that the more I wrote, the more crooked... However, how to define the question of feminism, in fact, there is no absolute and complete answer, we can start from several aspects, broadly speaking, the characteristics of feminist films are based on female perspectives, or directed by female directors, and more deeply, it is the excavation of women's autonomy, or the liberation of men's "despotism" and subversion of traditional patriarchal thinking. In recent years, there are more and more types of feminist films, whether it is to explore gender or same-sex relationships, many directors deeply reflect and dissect different issues from another perspective, and promote female characters from the stereotype of drama, and at the same time liberate all male characters; perhaps in the future, we will have the opportunity to make in-depth discussions on this, but before that we still pay tribute to these horrible and violent female characters!
