20th century women

The reason for watching it is to see such an evaluation when browsing a website: 2016 high score plot.

The title may seem grand, but it is, reflecting the musical, social, economic background of the 20th century through the eyes of single mother D... Dorothea and son Jamie.

Throughout the film, is the narration. I really like the lines in the movie. While watching this movie, I actually cried like an idiot in front of the screen.

Any thoughts on the film itself?

One, every shot and every picture in the film is beautiful, and the photos taken by Abbie are all cute little details that make people want to take screenshots. The director used a lot of slow-motion push-pull, just... like it?

Second, Abbie, a man with red hair, likes punk music, and likes to record his daily life with a camera. It is both assertive and delicate, which I think is her character trait. In a gathering of friends, the word "menstruation" was boldly spoken, which still had a certain impact in the 1980s.

Third, regarding "feminist rights", there are many words "feminist rights" in the second half of the film. Maybe the director wants to express some point, but I don't think there is a clear and good expression here.

Fourth, Julie, not much to say here. Always abide by the bottom line with Jamie, which is what I admire about her? btw , she said friends can't still be friends after having sex.

Fifth, I appreciate and feel distressed about Dolucia.

When an adolescent son is dissatisfied with what his mother does, he will explain to the people around him: She came from the depression. This inexplicably touches me. When I think of the rebellious period, I always cannot understand and resist the kindness of my mother.

The end credits feature a small plane(?) and Jamie's narration: "I thought this was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, but maybe we haven't been this close since then." The film ends.

The film may not have much substantive meaning, or the director showed what he wanted to express and I didn't get it. For the time being, is it a literary chicken soup slice?

    Use the background of the big era to tell the estrangement and growth between a mother and son, and then deduce the dilemma and self-breakthrough of various women at present. Various elements are perfectly integrated in the eloquent tone, but inadvertently The theme of the film is also expounded in the book; this film is not only a feminist film, but also a delicate work about the individual and the changing times. Four stars.

    It's actually funny, I always remember being a 21st century woman. Until I saw the end, I felt that the name of a 21st century woman was very clever and showed some kind of forward-looking. There is even a slightly misleading psychological suggestion to look at the women and boys in the play with an advanced eye. Although it was confirmed that it was 20 when the card was punched in, I still felt that they were quite 21.
