If you can't ask for it, or get it after a lot of effort, it is always set on the underlying layer of women's natural weakness. It is women who are unspoken for work and cry for love. Prejudice, sympathy, more or less are the underpinnings of these stories. The American drama "Sex and the City" a few years ago can be regarded as a masterpiece focusing on female sexual liberation in recent years, but it still hasn't jumped out of the old thinking of revolving around men.
After watching "ELLE", a completely different emotion surged in my heart. It is a perfect interpretation of the attitude of looking up to women and the only way the strong can gain freedom, completely eliminating the stereotypes that "women's career path is destined to be uneven" and "it is always women who are not free and easy in love". Michelle is almost synonymous with perfect women.
Her father is a world-famous murderer, her mother is extremely egoistic... None of this stops Michelle from being beautiful, powerful, and determined.
In the business field, she has her own game company, and she is very opinionated. She is the boss who speaks the truth and controls the fate of dozens of men in a company. In love life, she is not stubborn in maintaining marriage. Because of the fist raised by the husband, he decided to divorce without any hesitation. When dealing with the relationship with the lover, he is also 100% at the helm. What's even more admirable is that she never hurt herself in the dark, grabbing something that passed away and refusing to let go. Even if the wound in my heart has scabbed over, it will never be torn apart again.
She is undoubtedly a paragon of sanity. "Shame isn't strong enough to stop us from doing anything," emotion was almost too trivial for Michelle.
Beautiful women are the most dangerous. Michelle was never afraid of danger. Or she is a danger in her own right.
Whenever she saw her pushing open the iron door of her house alone, trembling in fear but striding in, her danger index and temptation were reported again.
On the contrary, the old man next door who likes SM is the one who is weak because of love. He would rush to close the windows for her on windy days, bandage her legs when she was injured, invite her and her son to dinner at his house, and even show mercy when Michelle proposed to go to the police station to report him.
In the last few frames of the movie, Michelle got out of the car, and Pharaoh's car next door suddenly started. I once thought that this man was going to kill someone, but unfortunately he was too weak. Just suddenly turned a corner, then continued to pray for love, and then died under Vincent's stick.
In this film, the people who become weak and even cry because of their feelings are all men.
She is strong.
Except for Michelle, the other women in the film have a chic attitude towards love and life, which makes me feel that Verhoeven loves women very much.
Come and experience:
Raise a glass to Verhoeven.
