The blackening of the good girl, the awakening of the middle child, the unexpected cannon fodder

I especially like this movie. It was a blast to watch on the big screen, and it was second only to Wolverine in my personal list of theatrical action movies of the year. There is no problem with the big logic in my opinion, and I can fully understand it. Having been a good girl at home for more than 20 years, I know how much I want to do something out of the ordinary and abandon my life by the rules, but I don't have the courage to do so. As a "role model" for the six sisters, carrying such a heavy burden with little in return, his life was divided into six-sevenths because of the six sisters (in her words, "just the waste discharged after childbirth"). , the remaining one-seventh can't do whatever they want, and it's impossible not to feel that God is unfair. When you encounter something that you really want, all the resentment will surge up, and it is strange that it does not erupt or become black. Loreena Mckennitt's The Bonny Swans echoed in my head when I saw the end (click to listen), this song comes from an old European legend, it is about how the sister drowned her sister for a man... The film finally sublimated, the reason for doing this deal on Monday was for his own children, whatever, it was Selfish and blameless. Which adult with his own ideas would be so holy that he would let others take six-sevenths of his life? Even sisters, even just to survive. Choosing to raise seven children together in such an environment seems like a wrong start in itself. (Of course, without this beginning, there would be no final overthrow of the big boss.) Speaking of Thursday, this character has been my favorite type from the beginning, handsome, neutral, uninhibited and bold. Her setup is very interesting. She is a typical middle child, once doubting the meaning of her own existence. She was the first to walk out of the house, and the first and only one to cause big trouble. She never played Karen Settman well until the very end. She hit the final level and eventually takes Karen Settman as her own name. She is a real female first, growing up like an ordinary person, you can see some shadows of you and me in her. The difference is the cruelty she experienced and her heart strong enough to walk through ashes and finally awaken. This is what a girl (or a girl?) should look like in my own eyes. Experienced wind and rain, and can always maintain himself, strong and elegant. The scene where she fell into the ashes and cried so much was so beautiful... In the film, the person who I thought would happen to Karen was shot in the head, and the person who thought nothing would happen to Karen actually happened . Not a single one who thought they could get away with it, and even broke through so many sieges on Wednesday was just about to hang up when I despised the protagonist's halo. When watching the movie, my heart roared past tens of millions of grass and mud horses, which was so shocking and refreshing. Speaking of which, the settings of several male characters in the film are also worth pondering. Every one is. The little bitch Jerry, the passerby on duty downstairs, the villain's bully, the ruthless grandfather who feels guilty for his daughter and cares for his granddaughter in every possible way, and... just an ordinary man's boyfriend on Monday. A lot of people joke about it in a disgusting way, but seriously, being able to do this for Monday is a good, if not a lifetime love. Hope he treats their children well. It is said that dystopia is always associated with sex. From the classic 1984 to the more recent Handmaid's Tale, sex is always the breaking point. I believe this makes sense, but why?
