#MeToo - Adult Childplay

To be honest, after watching Mother!, I have high expectations for this film, because I know that Sister Luo has stopped talking about water films after she became famous, so generally her films are those with features, themes, and appeals. Seed slices. Red Sparrow (RS) might have wanted to be one of those films, but it failed.

The reason for #MeToo is that the timing of this film is really inappropriate. Today, the new feminist movement #MeToo in the United States is in full swing. Countless bigwigs from all walks of life have been accused of violations and have stepped down. Not long ago, the incident of the comedian Aziz has cast a shadow on #MeToo. At such a sensitive point in time, RS emerges, telling the story of a woman who is forced to use her body as a weapon. If it is not deliberate, I can only say that RS was born at an untimely time; if it is deliberate, then the producer will inevitably be a bit grandstanding, and it is suspected of making a box office with the topic.

I haven't read the original book, so I can't compare the movie to the novel. However, if we only talk about the movie, I can only say that RS is a failure. Under the overwhelming publicity of the producer, in Sister Luo's tireless show, the story presented by RS is so pale, so lacking in appeal: large-scale and violence cannot cover up the unsuspenseful plot and childish spy It gets old you know? The rhythm of the movie is also not well grasped, I think it is very straightforward, and it may be too easy to see through the turning point of the plot related.

In terms of acting skills, all the main roles can be regarded as veteran actors, and many supporting roles are even called "senior government staff professionals". It's a pity that Sister Luo and the male protagonist didn't call at all! Coupled with Sister Luo's half-baked Russian accent, it's very entertaining!

In short, this is an adult childplay. Students who are particularly interested in Swallows can take a look.

    Double agents and the background of the post-Cold War are all blindfolds. This is similar to "City of Extreme Cold". I think that there is a female agent who can fool around under the banner of feminism. In essence, it still serves the majority of male audiences. Meat slices for the guiding ideology.

    Totally lived up to my expectations for this film. . . Can't you train the actor's accent well? It's just an American accent and occasionally two words with a Russian accent. And the fat swan in the opening scene is really hot-eyed--. . . In addition, the spy chief who looked like Putin was finally executed, and the American ambitions dared to be more obvious. . .

Red Sparrow quotes

  • Nina Egorova: I warned you about him. The way he looked at you as a child. I tried to keep him away. I tried to protect you. You hold something back. Don't give him all of you. That is how you survive.

    Dominika Egorova: [tearfully] Yes, mama.

  • Matron: [to assembled class] From this day forward, you will become Sparrows. Weapons in a global struggle for power. You have been selected because of your beauty, because of your strength. And, in some cases, because of your vulnerability.

    [clearly meaning Anya]

    Matron: Katya, Viktor, come here please.

    [Dominika and Viktor obliges]

    Matron: Here we deal in psychological manipulation. You'll be trained to determine a target's weakness, to exploit that weakness through seduction, and to extract information.

    [to Dominika and Victor:]

    Matron: Take off your clothes.

    [Viktor starts undressing, but Dominika doesn't react]

    Matron: Your body belongs to the State. Since your birth, the State nourished it. Now the State asks something in return.

    [still Dominika hesitates]

    Matron: You must learn to sacrifice for a higher purpose... To push yourself beyond all limitations. Forget the simple morality with which you were raised. Or was it pride? In my experience, the proud are the first to fall. Viktor, put on your clothes.
