Friday Quote: We launched this recommended article on Women's Day last year. On this day the year before we also launched, women who want to be "free", these ten movies open the door to a new world for you! Naturally, these 10 films focus on the concept of women's "independence", and most of them are choices they have to make in an objective environment, which also seems to make the film more tragic. Compared with "independence", the concept of "feminism" seems to be much more active, and if the word "isms" is added after this feminism, it will be more powerful!
The following 10 recommended films all cover the concepts of feminism and feminism, and of course, there is no shortage of extreme cases of "female totalitarianism". As for how we should grasp the degree of feminism and its duality, it is not something that can be explained in two words, watch the movie!
Two additional "Friday" views are added:
First, those little princesses whose wives are strict and let men circle around themselves, as well as female celebrities and the like, their essence is still attached to the "male power" society, but there are more interest exchanges and containments, obviously they should not be divided into the "feminist" group; second, the concept of "women" in the feminist context should be generalized, she should also include those "feminine men", gay men, transgender people and even the vulnerable groups of the whole society, they (he) should also enjoy independence, The right to awaken and dominate life!
"Friday Literature and Art" on the film ——
1. Summer with Monica (1953)
Formerly known as Sommaren med Monika
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Country: Sweden
"Recommendation" Monica likes to sleep late, Monica does not love work, Monica will take the initiative to pursue the man she likes, Monica will not reject the pursuit of other men because of marriage bondage...
This "Summer with Monica" undoubtedly opened the prologue to the "feminist film". Its greatness lies not only in the nude appearance of the heroine in the film, but also in the director's objective display of the good and bad sides of "feminism". Not only that, the director did not list the narrow landmark of "feminism" as something unique to women, it almost represents the consciousness awakening of all young people and the impulse of youth hormones.
2. Eclipse (1962)
Original name: L'eclisse
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Country: Italy
Of course, the theme of this film is not "feminism", but she puts a woman in the position of an "axis". In this position, the heroine faces the same problems faced by many men - emptiness, idleness, an all-night crazy girlfriend, a man who deals with his mother-in-law, a man who spends time with a worldly man, and so on. And all this behavior itself hides an awakening of feminist consciousness, you know, the traditional women who cook at home and watch their children do not have the opportunity to taste "nothing".
3. Lovers of The New Bridge (1991)
原名:The lovers of pont-Neuf
Director: Leo Carax
Country: France
"Recommendation" A big girl show, all day long in the arms of the family to wind and rain to rain, want to play what character to play what character, try to ask, this kind of woman is considered a feminist? She is probably a high-level "darling" at best...
The woman in "Lovers of The New Bridge" is a good girl, however, she chose to live on the street, pick up people's garbage to eat, take a bath under the open water pipe, and make love to beggars... We don't know what she wants to try, but at least her consciousness is liberated, at least she is personally free!
4. The Blue of the Blue,White-Red Trilogy (1993)
Former name: Trois couleurs: Bleu
Director: Krzyshtov Kieslowski
Countries: Poland, France
The story of "Blue" is about a woman hiding behind her husband who is behind a musician and has the courage to shoulder more social responsibilities due to her husband's unexpected death. And this process, I think, is the process of the benign rise of feminist consciousness.
5. Hannah Arendt (2012)
Formerly known as Hannah Arendt
Director: Margaret von Trotta
Country: Germany
The film, formerly based on the famous German philosopher, writer, and political theorist Hannah Arendt, tells the story of an important and controversial period of her life— the days when nazi war criminals were defended and criticized by mainstream society.
Naturally, in the face of mainstream values and moral bottom lines, this female thinker stands at the forefront of society and the truth side, and confronts the entire mainstream society with a scientific view and an objective mentality. How much courage does this independent consciousness require for a woman!
6. Female Addicts 1, 2 (2013)
原名：Nymphomaniac: Volume I&II
Director: Russ von Thiel
Country: Denmark
"Recommended Words" This "female addict" challenges almost everything that "male power" can do - from soaking men, sex, to masturbation, SM, to abandoning her husband, being a female boss... In short, the things that scumbags in the patriarchal society do have been done by the women here, and the scale of the film and the subversion of ethics can reach the point where you and I are stunned!
7. Magic Moonlight (2014)
原名：Magic in the Moonlight
Director: Woody Allen
Country: United States
"Testimonials" We don't need to say much about Woody Allen's film style. The hero in this movie, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law, look forward and backward, the heroine is instead grinning and straightforward; the hero is rational and stubborn, but the heroine is romantic and sensual; the hero wants face and low emotional intelligence, and the heroine is psychic and low in culture... In short, the film finally puts the initiative in the hands of a woman.
8. "She" (2016)
Former name: Elle
Director: Paul Verhoeven
The heroine in "Her" meets almost all the conditions of "feminism": she pursues independence, she is arrogant, she chooses a sexual partner according to whether she likes it or not, she does not seek help from the police and friends even after she is raped, because she feels that no one can solve the problem, except herself.
9. Camelot (2018)
Former name: Colette
Director: Walsh Westmoreland
Country: United Kingdom
"Recommended" is a biographical film about the French writer "Camelot". The writer-heroine in the movie was led by her husband to the road of writing, and then awakened herself from the path of writing and finally dumped her husband and dominated her own destiny. The whole movie makes people feel refreshed after watching it, and makes people awe-inspired for this literary woman.
10. "The Darling" (2018)
Originally named: The Favourite
Director: Orgus Lancemos
Countries: Greece, United Kingdom
"Recommendation" Don't forget the "female totalitarianism" we mentioned at the beginning. Whether it is male power or feminism, there is a double-sidedness of "autonomy" and "danger", and if women's rights are not good, they will become "female totalitarianism"! That negative meaning is no less than any form of totalitarian totalitarianism. This is vividly expressed in this Oscar-nominated movie "Darling". Of course, the "darlings" are not only in the West, but we in China are not inferior, and the historical Dai Ji, The Emperor Wu, and the Lafayette of Cixi are not all outstanding?!
To sum up, we have launched many women's films, which are classic female characters such as "Inventory of the Top 10 "Crazy Women" in Film History"
These movies are classics, and of course there are many more, such as these old films such as "The End of the Road". The awakening of women is a long road, of course, this requires the establishment of self-awareness of the majority of female compatriots.
Happy Holidays to all ladies today!
