In recent years, there have been more and more feminist films, and most directors are accustomed to expressing their meaning in an obscure way, and the viewing experience is inevitably somewhat depressing.
Recently there is a new movie, the same theme, the whole process of youth, just one word, cool -
"Girls Want Revolution"
Moxie
The opening chapter is the picture of the heroine Vivian running in the forest, the surrounding silence is rare, as if something is chasing her, Vivian screams in panic, but she can't make a sound...
Vivian woke up suddenly, and it turned out to be a dream.
Vivian is a sophomore in high school, the summer vacation has just passed, ushered in the new semester, she and her girlfriend Claudia are still the school's inconspicuous two small transparent.
Claudia, like a personal meat radio station, is busy broadcasting to Vivian the latest collection of small gossip, nothing more than who has been re-elected as the "best bed partner", who has been elected as the "best buttocks", who has broken up with whom.
Lucy, a transfer student, happened to be transferred to their class, and in the first class, Lucy bravely presented her own disagreement to the teacher, which attracted the attention of the school grass Mitchell.
Mitchell is the captain of the school football team, tall and handsome, he is a good student in the eyes of the teacher, but in fact he is a school bully.
When encountering interested girls, Mitchell will use all means to talk to each other, regardless of whether she likes it or not, and will not care about the girl's feelings.
When he saw The unusual Lucy, he put his hand on Lucy's shoulder as usual, and Lucy, who was not a vegetarian either, threw him away with his backhand and yelled, "Don't touch me."
Mitchell, seeing that the other party did not eat his set, angrily spit into the soda she bought.
This scene happened to be seen by Vivian who was passing by, she did not go up to stop it, she, like the others, had long been accustomed to what Mitchell did, and everyone tacitly agreed that more was better than less.
But Lucy is not like this, she angrily ran to the headmaster to complain about Mitchell's "sexual harassment", but the headmaster took care of him and bluntly said that Lucy was looking for trouble.
As Lucy walked out of the principal's room, Vivian kindly told her that as long as she kept a low profile, Mitchell would soon let her go because she was bored.
For such advice, Lucy did not agree, and even a little scornful, knowing that she was a victim, why should she blindly tolerate it, was she not indulging in the other party?!
As it turned out, Lucy was right.
The next day, a list of girls' rankings appeared on the school's intranet, which was not ranked by academic performance and moral conduct.
It's a very insulting list of labels—
The strongest cannon king, the most beautiful tits, the most worth sleeping object, the best hips...
Lucy received an extremely ugly title, and even the humble Vivian was named the "most obedient girl".
The boy looked at it with enthusiasm, and the girl was angry and crooked, but she was powerless to refute it.
I believe that many small partners have encountered this situation when they are studying, and there are always a few boys in the class who like to judge the appearance of girls, and even take a nickname for a certain feature of each other.
Usually everyone's reaction is the same as Vivian's, dare to be angry and dare not speak, but will the students who are teased feel better?
Looking at the headmaster's indifferent look, Vivian was furious, and she went home to find the old information about her mother's participation in the women's movement when she was studying, and a thought flashed through her mind that she was going to do something to change all this.
That night, she drew a pamphlet, named "Moxie," and went to the copy shop to print a full 50 copies.
The next day, when she confidently brought the booklet to school and prepared it for distribution, she was so timid that she had to secretly leave it in the bathroom.
Soon, the pamphlet spread among the female students, and everyone talked about the contents of the pamphlet with relish.
Mitchell suspected that Lucy had made the pamphlet for revenge, but he was not embarrassed at all, but was complacent.
Looking at Mitchell's invincible appearance, Vivian hopes that everyone can unite even more, and she secretly calls on the girls to draw love and stars on their hands.
The next day, when she walked into the campus and saw that everyone had nothing on their hands, she panicked and rushed to wash her hands, but in the bathroom, she saw two girls with the same pattern.
She was overjoyed, and her efforts were recognized by everyone.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, everyone has some inherent thinking, and it is difficult to change.
The girl Caitlin is in good shape and wears a vest to school, and will be ordered by the principal to add an extra coat, but obviously there is a female classmate next to her who is dressed exactly like her, but her figure is not so plump.
In fact, until now, "dressing freely" is still a difficult thing to achieve.
Girls dress too coolly and sinfully, and most people in the world will only accuse girls of improper dress, and even link it with ethics and morality.
In fact, what clothes to wear should be every girl's freedom.
However, there is more to nothing unfair than that.
As in previous years, Mitchell has been the recipient of the school scholarship because the football team he leads can help the school win many honors, but the principal cannot see his poor character.
In contrast, Kira, the captain of the girls' soccer team who is both well-educated and talented, was never nominated simply because she was black.
At the strong appeal of the girls, Kira became a popular candidate, and everyone actively helped her to solicit votes and do publicity, and Claudia also officially registered for "Moxie" as a school club.
The girls won the game and gave Ki a celebration in advance, and everything went in a good direction, but at this moment, Mitchell preemptively claimed to be a victim of school bullying in front of all the teachers and students.
As soon as this statement came out, Kira lost to Mitchell completely.
Seeing that Kira lost the election, Vivian lost her mind, she escalated her actions, frantically posting slogans on campus, and when the principal asked her who founded "Moxie", she denied everything.
Faced with difficulties, Vivian chose to escape, just like the boys who used to ignore and maliciously ridicule themselves.
Claudia, who has always been conservative, bravely helped her carry the black cauldron.
At that moment, Vivian finally understood that the meaning of resistance is not to be with everyone, but to bravely reject prejudice and discrimination.
She plucked up the courage to stand in front of all the girls, confessed everything, and she screamed with all the girls who supported her, which corresponded to the opening scene.
From silent protests to loud shouts, the girls shouted out their long-suppressed unhappiness.
Regardless of my body shape, I can wear whatever I want;
I'm black through and through, my hair isn't wigs, it's not diapers, I'm just that;
I was voted "the best person to go to bed" and I was so angry that I wanted to scream!!!
Some people say that the film is very naïve, there is no layer, it is undeniable that this film is somewhat deficient in expressing feminism, but as a youth film, it gives the audience a strong spiritual strength and is very inspiring.
As the film says, "I hate that we're sidelined, that we're ignored, ranked, attacked, and nobody comes out to solve the problem, nobody wants to listen to us." ”
The real feminist right is not women first, but demands that everyone be equal, dare to say no to those who offend themselves!
