  Focus on bet with bet365 trauma as mothers

American bet with bet365 "The Lost Daughter" (The Lost Daughter),2021) Shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 78th Venice bet with bet365 Festival,And won the Best Screenplay Award in the Main Competition Unit。Director Maggie Gyllenhaal has appeared in many movies with her elegant and intellectual temperament,"Daughter of the Dark" is her debut bet with bet365 from an actress to a female director。

 This bet with bet365 is adapted from the novel of the same name by Italian female writer Elena Ferrante,Discussed the dilemma of women as mothers, a role that has been eternally given a "great" meaning by traditional context, with no escape in the family。Video opening,Middle-aged female scholar Leda goes to the beach for vacation alone,Seeing a young mother getting along with her young daughter,Thus recalling my experience of raising a daughter when I was young。When Leda was a little girl,My mother often threatened to abandon her;And when she becomes a mother,She really abandoned her two daughters,Because "I love them so much,In my opinion,This love for them prevents me from being myself”。The bet with bet365 does not deliberately portray the pursuit of the perfect mother character,Instead, face how parenting deprives women of their freedom、Exhausting female energy,Raising profound questions about the “mother” role naturally assigned to women in the family。Because the bet with bet365 subverts people's understanding of "motherhood",It caused a lot of controversy after the premiere。Actually,Leida in the bet with bet365 is also contradictory,She has impressive academic achievements,Fell down on the beach in pain at the end,It seems like letting the waves wash away the guilt in your heart over and over again。

The award for "Daughter of the Dark" seems to be the same as the opening bet with bet365 of this Venice bet with bet365 Festival "Madres Paralelas" (Madres Paralelas),2021) has the meaning of complementing each other。It also describes women as mothers,The former recounts the pain of motherhood from the perspective of an “experiencer”;The latter focuses on the lives of newborn mothers on a positive time trajectory。The two films are based on drama and documentary respectively,Finally heading towards the same destination - focusing on women’s trauma as mothers。

Although the West has always been at the forefront of the women’s liberation movement,But in East Asia, where women’s family identity is more solidified,There are also discussions on the same topic。The Korean movie "Kim Ji-young, Born in 1982" (2019) tells the 30-year life story of the protagonist Kim Ji-young,Since its release, it has caused quite a stir in Korea and even Asia。The bet with bet365 is adapted from Zhao Nanzhu’s novel of the same name。This novel tells the long-suppressed grievances of Korean women from Kim Ji-young’s perspective,Thus becoming the trigger for the “me-to” movement in this absolutely patriarchal country。To direct suspense、Kim Do-young, a female director who is good at thriller themes, resolutely adapted it into a movie。As a mother of two children,Kim Do Young’s despair for Kim Ji Young、I empathize with the survival plight of Korean women in their thirties and forties,So when her movie is shown,Women’s sobs are all around。But in the video,She attempts to compromise with social pressure in a gentle way,Arranged a good husband for Kim Ji Young who is willing to help her find herself - the husband played by the famous actor "Gong Yoo" can understand Kim Ji Young's life,Be able to think about why your wife is like this,Able to always be by my side,This setting beautifies to a certain extent the portraits of real men in cruel reality。Even so,The bet with bet365 only received 2 among Korean male viewers.8’s rating,The rating among female viewers is as high as 9.5。Withstanding fierce pressure from public opinion,“Kim Ji Young Born in 1982” still won the Best New Director Award at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards、The 56th Korean bet with bet365 Daejong Awards Best Actress Award、The 41st Korean Blue Dragon bet with bet365 Awards Best Popularity Award and multiple nominations。

  Rethinking the gender order and going beyond equal rights between men and bet with bet365

As society moves from the "power era" to the information age and moves towards the knowledge economy era,Women’s physical disadvantages are slowly being downplayed,Women are tapping into their natural instincts、Understanding and flexibility,Work hard to create your own living space。2018 is the “Year of the Woman” bet with bet365 United States,Record number of women running and winning in midterm elections。bet with bet365 context of this era,American female directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West made their debut with "Ruth Bader Ginsburg",2018) Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 91st Academy Awards,More intriguing。

The bet with bet365 tells the legendary story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second Supreme Court Justice in the history of the United States。The bet with bet365 opens with a quick look back at her early coaching years,In a course teaching gender and law,She initially realized that someone needed to speak out for systemic inequality,Afterwards,She has been fighting for gender equality and women’s rights throughout her life。The bet with bet365 outputs its point of view through strong lines,From Ginsburg’s self-statement “I never asked for special status for women,I only hope that male brothers in society,Move your feet”,In the eyes of others, “She made the male judges in the court feel what it’s like to be a second-class citizen”,It’s all Ginsburg’s brilliance as a justice;Meanwhile,The bet with bet365 also strives to portray an innocent person、Interesting、The image of an energetic old lady,Whether it’s her proud and somewhat cute way of saying “Everywhere I go, people want to take pictures with me”,She is still truly grateful to her husband,Or is she excitedly showing herself to the camera,All demonstrate Ginsburg’s unique female personality charm aside from her status as justice。

The video calls for gender equality,But it does not stop at expressing gender equality。The director looks at the history of the American women’s movement through the eyes of this moderate but radical liberal female judge,Using the structure of a feature bet with bet365 to focus on presenting the characters’ glamorous public lives,To a certain extent, it ignores the protagonist’s personal growth dilemma as a woman。Only in a group photo with a group of male leaders,Her gender identity is so obvious。"Truth and Justice,Is the patent of Judge Ruth。”The pursuit of gender equality is not just because she is a woman,But because gender equality is eternal justice。“Female” is just a blessing of gender,It’s not her gender limitation。As a well-known real-life superhero in the United States,As bet with bet365 critic David Firth said,"If one day a boy or girl watches it,Also picked up a law book、A gavel,Gained the courage to raise objections,The value of this movie far exceeds the meaning of our worship of it”。

The drama bet with bet365 "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" (Portrait de la jeune fille en feu) directed by Céline Sciamma,2019) won the Best Screenplay Award at the 72nd Cannes bet with bet365 Festival。In previous movies that showed love stories in the classical era,Mostly male painters paint portraits of women,Telling in the field of "watching" and "being watched" of gender inequality。And in this bet with bet365,The director borrowed Mary’s identity as a female painter,Be the first to break out of the traditional male gaze,Representing the secret struggle and resistance of women under patriarchal rule in the classical era。While walking on the beach,Mary doesn’t understand why Lois doesn’t want to marry into a rich family,The latter replied "Because you have the right to choose (and I don't)"。When Lois asked Mary if she had ever drawn men,Mary said that female painters do not have this right,Because this society does not allow women the opportunity to paint great works,But she can draw secretly。At the end of the video,When Mary participated in an art exhibition in her father’s name and received great acclaim,She said neither humble nor haughty: "This is my work,Just in the name of my father。”As a story from the classical era of the 18th century,The director borrows the shell of a love story based on gender equality,Extend the pursuit of gender equality in women’s films to a deeper level,The theme of class equality is clearly set,Invisibly echoes the theme of the Palme d'Or-winning Korean bet with bet365 "Parasite" (2019),Not only a spectacle in love stories in classical times,It also provides discussion significance for love relationships and even interpersonal relationships in the current society。

  bet with bet365 the screen to reality, using art to reflect reality

The emotional expression of women’s films is never monotonous and rigid,You can raise your arms and shout、Inspiring and enlightening,It can also be reserved but undercurrent。The documentary “Japan’s Secret Shame” directed by BBC director Erica Jenkin,2018),Tells the story of a 29-year-old Japanese female journalist Shiori Ito’s tenacious fight against harassment in the workplace。Ito was dismissed by the then president at a work dinner in 2015、Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s biographer Yamaguchi was drugged and violated,But Yamaguchi strongly denies this statement。When Ito bravely revealed his identity and accused Yamaguchi,But I received countless public humiliating and hateful emails。Some people question Ito’s motives,Some people accused her of not doing drug testing、Not calling the police immediately。After the incident,At a loss, Ito once called a help center for help,But was asked to take a bus to the city center to solve the problem in person,This posed a huge challenge to Ito who was bedridden at home and dared not go out。As a victim,The work circles of Ito and the perpetrator Yamaguchi almost overlap,And Yamaguchi’s high position and authority may almost lead to her ending her career early。Facing various mental pressures,Ito insists on appealing,Under the pressure of "second rape" during the continuous evidence collection process。The bet with bet365 interweaves Ito’s story with Japan’s broader social context,Comprehensive and profound analysis of the difficulties of women’s rights protection in a patriarchal society。A few years later,When we watch the video again,I will still be dumbfounded by some indifferent spectators in the bet with bet365——the cold speech of the female congressman,Women who have also been violated stand with men,Accusing Ito of not loving himself。It’s not just sexual assault that’s scary,There is also the "victim guilt theory"。It can be said,"The Shame of Japan" is a strong support for a Japanese colleague from a Western female director who also works in a news agency。Although the bet with bet365 did not win major awards at international bet with bet365 festivals,But it caused great repercussions in Japan and even the international community,Promotes the fair trial of cases to a certain extent。December 18, 2019,The Tokyo District Court of Japan ruled in favor of Ito,Noriyuki Yamaguchi was convicted of sexual assault,Compensation to Shiori Ito of 3.3 million yen (approximately RMB 200,000)。September 2020,Ito was selected into the list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2020" by Time magazine。

May 14, 2019,The Alabama State House passed one of the most stringent abortion regulations in the United States,In this provision,Almost all abortions, including the consequences of rape, are banned。Obviously,This provision violates the constitutional protection of women’s right to abortion and privacy,It triggered strong opposition and widespread demonstrations。In this context,The 70th Berlin bet with bet365 Festival Jury Prize,And the Special Jury Prize in the U.S. Drama Section of the Sundance bet with bet365 Festival,All awarded to the bet with bet365 "Never which focuses on the issue of female body autonomy,Very few,Sometimes,Never Rarely Sometimes Always,2020)。The bet with bet365 was inspired by a piece of news: an Indian woman who was 17 weeks pregnant failed to undergo an abortion in time in Ireland,Death due to sepsis。This news sparked a debate about abortion in Ireland at the time,The core of the debate is the choice between women’s right to bodily autonomy and the right to life of the fetus。Research by University of California data analyst Stephanie Herold,Hollywood tends to greatly exaggerate the medical risks associated with abortion,Downplaying the obstacles in seeking an abortion,And "Never,Very few,Sometimes,Always》is the existence that finds another way。Director Eliza Hittman looks at the lives and journeys of two girls from a close but restrained perspective,With abortion as the main line,The plot centers on the obstacles a girl encounters in seeking surgery,Exclude deliberate bloody plots,A realistic and detailed depiction of the transportation and financial obstacles in the process,And the emotional resilience and social support needed to make abortion happen,The characterization of characters is greater than the expression of opinions。The bet with bet365’s exposure of women’s plight is subtle、Neutral,Failed to show the brilliance of humanity - for example, Jasper’s help to the two girls had a purpose,Not too self-pitying from a female perspective - instead of questioning the reason for Orton's pregnancy, the camera focused on the abortion itself,By using various details such as ubiquitous sexual harassment、Sobbing when questioned、Lonely expressions at family gatherings, etc.,To express the character’s inner depression,Show things selectively rather than panoramicly,Guide the audience to self-understanding like the tip of the iceberg。As director Hittman said in the interview,“It’s no one’s business but hers” (This is her own body,Nothing to do with others)。

In the new generation group,More and more women have passed the Seventh Art,Adds a different perspective and color to understanding feminism。They and their works are no longer limited to resistance and opposition to male oppression,But focus on women’s own growth,Feminism is expressed through increasingly rich themes and forms,Feminism expresses more and more social issues。When top bet with bet365 competitions increasingly shine the spotlight on films by women directed by women,This means more than just a victory for female artists,It is also a tribute to the entire social group’s continuous fight for equal rights。
