The screen of the Brown Bear Theater has the first night scene of the film.

The cluttered dilapidated house was lit by a mixture of dim yellow and dark red firelight, and the family of four was by the fire, Connie sat in a rocking chair, and the boy sat on the couch doing his homework, but he was not too focused, tugging at each other's blankets. Rui, who was mending his fur hat next to him, scolded: "I told you two to finish his horse's homework first......"

Her words were interrupted by the sound of a rattling door opening, and the camera cut to see the neighbor's stout woman holding a large cardboard box pushing the door, "Hey, Rui." "Venison with bones on it came out of the edge of the cardboard box, and bottles of soy sauce or something. The mother-in-law's eyes moved, and her tone was much hotter: "Sonny." ”

Close-up of a single person, Sonny turning his head to look. There are strong hints in the dialogue and the camera that the mother-in-law brought venison for no one but the blonde sonny.

"Oh, Songya. Rui replied from his feet.

"I brought you something to eat. Songya put the cardboard box on a high chair near the door and smiled, "Sonny is when he grows up, give him more to eat." Her words are tantamount to telling the audience what is going on, if it weren't for her husband's illegitimate son, she wouldn't have looked at Rui San.

Two shots make this clear, a close-up of Sonny's solo as he walks and sees flesh in the eyes of a newborn beast, and a double shot of Harold and Connie swallowing his saliva.

"We all eat. Rui's tone was flat and she didn't thank her.

"That strip, Baskin, came to you, are you alright?" Songya's fat face had a hint of obvious discoloration, and she asked not out of concern, but nervous about something.

"He's here for my dad. Rui said.

"He's looking for Jessup?" Songya's strange appearance was even worse, "Do you know where he is?" Rui replied slightly stunned, "I don't know." Songya asked again, "I really don't know?" Rui also nodded a little strangely, she already felt that something was wrong. Songya asked almost plainly: "It seems that you didn't tell him anything, did you?"

"I would never tell him if I knew. Rui replied without thinking.

The audience can understand that everything is fine, they have a supreme law, and they cannot corrupt the family rules in their area, and in any case, the police are the enemy.

"Oh good, that's good. Songya didn't say anything more, waved her hand to Sonny, who was gathered around the venison box, and left. Harold immediately rushed to pounce, and the brothers sniffed and inhaled the smell of meat, and both chanted feverishly: "Yes, great." "Oh good......"

Rui stood there, her eyes frozen.

At this point, the screen gave the audience some questions, was Songya a help when she sent meat food, was she a good person, why was she so concerned about her husband's illegitimate child?

It's early in the morning again, Rui is walking on a thorny mountain road, still wearing the same clothes, and she embarks on the road to find her father the next day.

In the ensuing scene, Rui arrives at a wooden house on a steep hillside, and the audience gets to know another middle-aged woman, Victoria. Her red hair was in a bun, tall and round, and she wore a brown and white plaid dress, which was quite beautiful, and she looked different from other women in the mountains.

She said gently, "Be quiet, the tears haven't gotten up yet." She seemed to be a very good person, brewed a cup of hot coffee for Rui to "warm up", and she also showed a sincere smile for the first time in the film, as if she was a woman living in happiness. But what could she be happy about? Rui's first words were to ask, "Is he there?" and Victoria said, "he happened to be mine last night." This means that tears are not only her woman, what is she happy about?

Rui obviously liked Victoria, and she also showed a sincere smile, and said the first polite words when she took the coffee: "Thank you." ”

The atmosphere immediately cooled, and tears said "You shouldn't be like this, don't go to Jesup." "When I walked into the kitchen, I wasn't a good man, and I didn't seem to be a glamorous man. He is thin, wearing a brown and green T-shirt and gray and white pajama pants, short brown and black hair is fluffy, a middle-aged face with a white beard, and three black tears tattooed in the corner of his right eye.

As soon as he sat down at the table, he took out a small packet of ice powder from the glass bowl full of nuts on the table, scooped it with a small spoon, sniffed, and said: "Whether to go out of court or not, whether to go to prison or not, it is up to the accused person to decide for himself, you don't count." ”

Rui didn't react in particular to tears and ice, but she seemed a little jealous of this man, and asked softly, "You know where he is, right?"

"Where a man is, you don't need to know at all. Uncle Tears said again, Victoria made him a cup of hot coffee, and there was no objection to his face.

"But ......," Rui added.

"I haven't seen him. Tears fell a little heavier, and as he spoke, he picked up a black pistol from his trouser pocket and fiddled with the ammunition. Rui calmly asked: "Will he mess with Little Arthur's gang again?" The tearful look became more and more serious, and the voice became more and more sandy: "No matter who it is, including you, you are definitely not allowed to run to Ho-Kefre's side." Ask around about the birds they don't want to tell you, and you'll die like a puddle of. You're not some stupid girl in town, you should know that. ”

At this time, the camera cuts to Victoria, who is standing next to her, and she has the heart to play a round: "Rui, what happened to your mother?"

"It's still the same. Rui didn't look at her, her eyes stared at the tears without blinking, and asked, "We're relatives, aren't we?" The tears also looked at her, "Others don't recognize that." Rui finally looked away as if she couldn't stand it, showing a little timidity. Victoria couldn't bear to help: "Tears, you know them, you can ask ......"

"Shut up. Tears spoke, and he stood up to leave. Victoria shut up. Rui suddenly scolded with tears in her eyes: ", Dad is your only brother!"

Try not to fight, but if one person is beaten, it's best to bleed both of them!

Tears rushed away, grabbed Rui's hair, and almost knocked her head to the dining table in a gesture, and then suddenly pulled back. The close-up of the elevation angle is taken, Rui's face is facing up, her eyebrows are furrowed, and her lips are trembling slightly, revealing a heart full of fear. Victoria's voiceover was snarky: "Tears!"

Diagonal elevation angle close-up, the tearful cold face from the top right to the bottom left Rui, still in a light sand tone: "Do you think I forgot? Jesup and I have been together for almost 40 years, but I don't know where he is, and I won't ask where he is." You stay at home honestly, I'm not like Jesup who won't beat you, and if you don't follow the rules, I'll beat you up. ”

As soon as the words fell, he let go of Rui, picked up the ice powder bag and pistol on the table and left, and when he walked out of the door, he said, "Give her some money and let her go home." ”

Rui's eyes seemed to be out of focus, her body sank in the chair, her hands arranging her messy hair, but it wasn't just unnatural, it was shaking.

"Rui ......" Victoria couldn't help it, and while taking out her wallet and cigarette case from her pocket, she said, "You still listen to tears." Do you want to smoke a big cigarette?" she took five or six small bills from her purse and a long cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Rui.

Rui was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses and taking the money and cigarettes, "Thank you." ”

The scene is hard, Rui is walking on the rugged mountain road again, smoking the big hemp cigarette in her right hand as she walks, and the skillful swallowing of clouds and spitting fog shows that she is not the first time to smoke, but an old smoker.

At this moment, the audience watching this scene outside the screen, many people felt conflicted, and the good impression they had just had for Victoria and the resonant concern for Rui suddenly seemed to have been hit. How could Victoria, a "good woman", give Rui marijuana? How could Rui, the "hero", smoke it like that? What about her persistence? Is it a mistake in her previous understanding?

Her lack of upbringing, her desire to steal, and her hostility to the police are all understandable, but isn't it the same as the bad guys who smoke marijuana completely voluntarily and naturally?

In the front row of the audience, Ye Wei asked Lily in a suppressed voice: "In a world where there are no good people, who are the good people?"

Jennifer, who also heard it next to her, remembered those character creation and analysis, don't use the concept of "city/world" to demand and understand Rui's concept of "mountain country/corner", in Rui's world, smoking, drinking, and smoking marijuana since childhood is not "bad", stealing things is shameful, soft bones, and leaking secrets are shameful, but making ice and selling drugs are not shameful. This is a different way of thinking, she is not an ordinary girl, nor is she an ordinary country girl.

It may be difficult for the average viewer to understand and define as a "complex character", and it is surprising that connoisseurs can see the way at a glance.

The Weinstein brothers were shocked a few days ago, the core of the film has loomed at this point, Rui's non-traditional heroic appearance continues to deepen, compared with the original book, not only has she not received any corrections, such as not smoking marijuana, but also "bad" at a glance, the original book has no detailed paragraphs, the movie can stop at the place where the cigarette is picked up or not, not necessarily have an exact shot.

It's not just about the audience's perception, it's about the theme of the story, what is going to be said?

Regardless of the original book, if it were in a typical feminist movie, they shouldn't be like this.

First of all, Rui seemed too scared! She could be scared in the face of tears and rebellion against male power, she could not be like Clint Eastwood, but she shouldn't be so scared that her body trembled. And her appearance completely exposes her heart, she is just a girl in a skirt with a girl's heart and a dirty tomboy to protect herself.

In this scene, Rui's tears of "staying at home honestly" represent traditional men, Victoria's "you still listen to tears" represents traditional women, Jesup, who "refuses to beat Rui", represents avant-garde men, and Rui represents feminist women.

Although Rui grew up in treacherous and difficult situations, she was not born in a family that "throws away if she is a girl", maybe when her father was there, Rui has never been beaten at all, she is like a little princess in the mountains.

This metaphor is obvious, one of the reasons why modern feminism has risen is because some women resist tradition, and another reason is because some men "refuse to beat". Just like Jesup, a "bad guy" who loves his family, doesn't beat his daughter, and has a son born to his wife cheating, he is a traitor to a traditional patriarchal society (within a radius of thirty miles), and because of this, he has an accident.

The ferocity of feminist women is what those avant-garde men are accustomed to, let and give, and they make her tremble with fear when they hit her, and they have never had a duel with the real traditional male power (Ho-Kevre), and they still "give her some money" in their tears, and those men will not.

Rui looking for Jessup is the protection of feminist women looking for feminist men, otherwise as soon as the bubble bursts, there will be a loss of feminist mother (Connie), growing feminist men (Sonny, Harold), houses and woodlands (positions, results) that both fail and inspire women. Because the story is not mysterious, inferring the moral from this direction, Rui's beating is a kind of destruction of women's rights and the awakening of another kind of women's rights, and her sawing off the hands of women's rights men means that she no longer relies on men to fight against men's rights and fight for women's rights.

Of course, this is no better than beautifying and simplifying the story into a strong girl who would rather die in order to protect the warm family, and get the help of kind-hearted women along the way, demonstrating the power of feminism, infecting traditional men and traditional women, and winning hero rewards and good shots.

How to beautify and how to shoot?

The mother of feminism can't cheat on her illegitimate child, and she goes crazy just because she is oppressed by men, she is an innocent victim, a statue that warns future generations.

A man's vassal (Songya) will help Rui out of kindness, and must not willingly care for her husband's illegitimate children, tempting growing feminist men to return to traditional men, and these things can only be done at the behest of men. Just like the women who were instructed to beat Rui, after that, they would redeem themselves and take Rui to saw.

The point is that they can't have the slightest sincere happiness, and every woman in this kind of story should be bitter and hateful. The happy man attached (Victoria) is too obstructive and too weak, she can obey tears, but she has to quarrel at least to show her dissatisfaction and feminist consciousness and then obey.

Feminist films need these people, who endure life like walking dead, help feminist heroes as much as they can, and finally awaken feminist consciousness, at least there are signs of that.

You could have said that the adaptation was despicable, but there is no doubt that it is easier to form a single and clear emotion: moved by Rui and cheered for women.

Sometimes movies have a cinematic way. And here, Connie, Songya, Victoria, they all even have a negative impact on the image of women.

There are indeed these types of women among the "women", who go crazy because Shaohua can no longer charm men and fail in life (original book), willing to be a vassal of men, willing to be one of a man's lovers, just when a good man is bored but itches when he sees an illegal bad man (Jessup's lover), and when he is a young fool and gets a big belly......

The question is, should these women appear in a feminist film? Some female viewers are already unhappy, they don't want to be implicated in this, it's all the fault of the stinky men.

People in the media were also surprised that even Ye Wei dared to shoot so hard! It seemed to be a whipping of women instead of waving the flag.

Is this a feminist movie?

It's not impossible to shoot like this, and it's a good thing to have no clichés, but if you're not careful, the boat will capsize, just exposing the scars of women's rights can't become the darling of the awards season. Promote women's rights while revealing the scars, and make a meaningful and persuasive non-traditional feminist film, that is the only way to do. Similar to Matt Dillon in "Crash".

Because the screen images are so presumptuous, many fans are addicted!

This is the kind of movie that can't miss a scene or a single line, and one shot can have a great relationship! A classic literary film is that it tells a story openly, another story secretly, and even several other stories, which are worthy of multiple interpretations.

Some films tell dull stories of light and dark, not today. Its bright side of the story is fascinating, and whether or not it understands the complex connotations does not prevent every viewer from paying attention to the story, Rui has to find her father, and she has a difficult time, hitting a nail at the beginning, and her only uncle refuses to help her, and warns her not to look for it again.

What else could she do? Will she go to Ho-Keffer?

At this time, "Gail" appeared on the screen. The audience finally got to see the appearance of the last future girl, Alicika Vikander.
