One day, a woman named Antonia took her sixteen-year-old daughter Denia back to the small village where she left twenty years ago to bring her mother to death. It was a blind but incomparable spirit. Old lady, she heard the noise in the house, shouting at her imaginary thieves and robbers, and shocked the pastor who came to pray for her on her deathbed. Finally, she died, but Daniel was again Seeing her singing happily at her funeral, the

story unfolded in a somewhat wonderful atmosphere. Antonia mother and daughter stayed in the village, lived in this pink house, and started their own lives.

They are very eye-catching because they seem to be different from other women in the village. Antonia raises her head high when she walks and greets every man and woman with a smile. Denia is quiet, but her eyes can Seeing the injustice, seeing the girl crying under the bullying of the evil youth. They support the weak in their own way, and solve the difficulties and challenges in life in their own way and wisdom.

This is a true women’s film. It is not a radical promotion of feminism, but it talks about women’s kindness and confidence, self-reliance and self-reliance, tenacity and wisdom. They do not rely on men, and they are not a group of complaints about disappointment with men. Women, but because they choose to be independent, choose themselves, and enjoy themselves. At the same time, he conquered men with his absolute brilliance. While winning the love and respect of men, he still retains equality and peace of mind.

The male characters in the film are also very distinctive. The old gentleman who admired Antonia proposed to her, Antonia said, I don't need a man, but if you occasionally help us do something we can't do, I will be very grateful to you. The old gentleman said, I think about it, and then I often see him taking a group of boys, carrying a picnic basket, to Antonia’s yard, sitting on a long table lively, slowly, their friends There are more and more people. A Puritan man lived upstairs with a woman who imagined that she was a werewolf. On the night of the full moon, the woman always howled at the moon all night, and the man was miserable. Every time he hit the ceiling with a wooden stick, except for himself. There was no avail outside the wall. One day, the woman died. The man was in distress, holding the woman's body and howling at the moon, then followed the woman to death. Their shared tomb reads: "They did not live in the same bed, but they shared the same cave after death."

Interesting story, interesting movie. There are many smooth and ingenious details, sometimes can not help but laugh, most of the time, very charming.

The women of Antonia’s family are always happy. They enjoy life, the joy of motherhood, sex, and the company of good men, but they don’t need to surrender all of their selves. This film is actually also conveying feminism, but it promotes a gentle and inclusive feminist point of view. It does not blindly despise men, does not trample men underfoot, does not become a man, but uses women’s various advantages. Incisively and vividly, it is true to overcome rigidity with softness, which is actually very oriental.

    7/10. The moon and the barking woman represent the challenge of the secular lunatic behavior, riding a horse and meeting a bullying mentally handicapped boy hanging to a tree trunk, looking for a surrogate in the city, standing upside down on the bed to put the semen into the uterus, refuting the commentary text number of the teacher withdrawing from the class, the priest still carrying it The "12 disciples" respectively changed the identity of male rule, the concept of fertility, the right to education and theocratic rights, and philosophers who stayed at home and feared reality compared Antonia's open-minded view of death.

    [Look again in HD for supplementary standard] Since I watched the VCD, it is now the national version of the movie channel (the quality of the national version is good). The original DVD poster has long been harmonized in the article and I dare not see anyone. This time I noticed this slightly vertical. A fleeting nude picture of less than 2 seconds (fornication). Female directors and Yishui’s females have grown up from childhood, male actors are just "sexual tools" to bring pleasure to women (except for the quirky Krockfinger) The Antonia family is a motherly family, and from all over The gathering is also women. In this big family, women dominate. They are either unmarried but they can find a man to have a child, and then they can live together with the same sex, or they can live together in a group, and they can go to bed once a week to enjoy like a wolf. The joy of fish and water at the age of a tiger. The movie shows us the concept of time in a very short space. Children grow up and multiply, and sometimes they wish they could not be born one by one every year. On the one hand, they are thinking about death, under the curse of death. Children can make many people die and accidents. The film is free in this land between the life and death of these people.

Antonia's Line quotes

  • Pastoor (The Village Priest): And Our Lord said unto them: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." And just as her accusers left, convicted by their own conscience, so we must think of our own transgressions before condemning others. Let us also remember that salvation came into the world through a woman. And that no one seeks her protection or help in vain. Nor should we forget the lesson read on the feast day of a holy woman: "She openeth her mouth with wisdom in her tongue is the law of kindness."

  • Kromme Vinger (Crooked Finger): Imagine moving to another time scale, so that a life-span of 80 years would be over in 29 days or last 80,000 years. Time...

    Thérèse (6): But what about time? Did we invent time?

    Kromme Vinger (Crooked Finger): We made it up.
