"The Antonia Family" is a work that perfectly interprets the feminism of utopian society. In this work, you can see how Antonia established a cooperative commune, broke the division of labor between men and women, and abolished the marriage and family system, and achieved communist peace in the true sense. Free erotic desires, and gradually establish matrilineal clan society. Although it is a feminist work, it never stands on the opposite side of men, but better maintains a reciprocal attitude and cooperative relationship with men.

When Daniel came to discover that she possessed the natural maternal qualities of a woman, she used the sperm of a male to make herself a mother. This phenomenon is explained in the film: pregnancy is the most beautiful thing, not the union of men and women or the appearance of children, but pregnancy and childbirth, making everything worthwhile.

Feminism presents different states in different women. This has an impact on modern radical feminism. Is there absolutely only one form of feminism? Does feminism mean gender opposition? Do women's rights have to abandon marriage and love so as not to make themselves an accessory to patriarchy?

The answer is that every woman has the life she wants, so it is every woman's feminism.

    A film about the fate of four generations of women in a family dominated by women, presented entirely from a feminist perspective. Although it narrates the heroine's long life, it is not like the epic style of traditional family films, but with a fresh and refined nature. The sweet tones, the relaxed and pleasant soundtrack, the delicate and full characterization, and the story scenes full of daily life, depict the heroine's family and the peaceful and peaceful rural life with the villagers, making the whole film look warm and seductive. The beautiful, independent and capable great-grandmother is the soul of the family. Under her upbringing and influence, her daughters and granddaughters are independent women with strong self-spirits. Their extraordinary choice of fertility and marriage was criticized by the village priest, but the great-grandmother remained unmoved and firmly supported. Even the little great-granddaughter is a little poet who often speaks astonishingly. The film begins with the voice-over of the great-grandmother, and uses flashbacks to review the life of the great-grandmother who was calm and independent, and also strongly conveys the director's feminist point of view.
