The plot of this movie is very simple. The father of the little boy Phil (Phil) is the accountant of a powerful underworld organization, but he revealed to the police the information he has about the money flow of the underworld; this led to an extinction. . Before the gang's killer arrived, Phil's mother asked the neighbor and friend Gloria to take away the boy Phil from the house. Gloria, who has always been self-conscious, brought Phil from birth to death in a complex and contradictory mood, and led a wandering and trembling escape life.
As soon as Gloria appeared, there was a detail that attracted the attention of careful moviegoers. She only came to neighbor Phil's house to borrow coffee, but she brought a leather bag with her. It is a weird behavior to carry a leather bag every time you go out. Before Gloria was dragged down by Phil and led a desperate career, what were the factors in her life that caused her nervous mental habits?
Fish and Cat:
Gloria, who unfortunately has a small oil bottle, greets Phil to return to her room with a very complicated and even regretful emotion.
Gloria, who returned to the room, said something very interesting to comfort Phil. She said that there were fish in my bedroom; after that, she said would you like to play with my cat. Fish and cat are obviously two things that cannot coexist, but they exist together as pets in Gloria's room.
In the following episodes, sometimes she is like a cat’s selfishness, Phil leaves her apartment and runs away, but she calmly dresses up, and fortunately she has thrown off her baggage, and prepares to leave; sometimes she is evading chase. She looked like she was just running for her life, regardless of whether the panicked children behind her could keep up. Of course, she did deliberately abandon Phil several times. At first, when faced with Phil’s insult to her when she lost control of her emotions, she had no reaction or expression. She was as passive and silent as a fish, but suddenly she became fierce and decisive at the moment of crisis. She stretched out her claws and was merciless. Shoot the enemy; sometimes Gloria will be chased to the point of being nervous, panicked, like a cat that has been overly frightened and becomes hysterical; but when the difficulties really come, she is calm and makes full use of the male ruler. In the thought, because of the short-term tolerance and slight pity of her due to sex or nepotism, she wandered smoothly like a fish in the crevices of the power framework of the underworld. Gloria’s character is expressed by her pets. Her character is very contradictory and fluctuating, which forms a strong dramatic effect, which makes her always turbulent position and mentality become The dark thread that guides the development of the entire story determines her separation and confluence with Phil, and also determines whether she resists or compromises the pursuit of the God of Destiny.
The woman who has been on the run:
Gloria decisively took Phil to another home for the first time after the rest of Phil's family were killed. The phone rang and she forbade Phil to answer it. She was going to take a bath and fry eggs awkwardly. In the early morning, she put on her makeup and a suit. After watching the TV station’s report on the Phil’s family killings and allegations of murder, her face showed a cunning and "I I knew it would be like this" with a smile, the moment she left the apartment, the gang members appeared in front of her door. In this series of accidents, her unfamiliar with housework, her methodical accurate estimation of the gang's behavior and precise control of their action time, all show Gloria's extraordinary background and background from ordinary women.
The episode of Gloria meeting with her uncle on the bus illustrates the background of her gangster family, at least her uncle does this. And she later exposed "Those gang members are my friends", "I can't take you to see the police because I have a criminal record", etc., and gradually confessed that Gloria was the boss of the underworld and was wearing it for him. The fact that the mistress who has been in jail for sin. This made her the first thing she got was not a ruthless shot like what happened to the Phil family; it was negotiation and persuasion. Gloria made full use of this small favor for her. Whether it was a short pleading or a ripped shot, she wisely used this time as a buffer, turning defeat into victory.
In the movie, the ubiquitous underworld gangs show us a typical and vivid patriarchal miniature scene. Its executor is a man, its commander is a man, its depriver is a man, its benefactor is a man, and it is committed to eradicating, and it is also an underage boy. Gloria once relied on the status of the eldest mistress to be respected, and now is undoubtedly turned into a haggard and trembling neglect and marginalist.
But Gloria has the shrewd intuition of a cat and the smoothness of a fish who knows how to take advantage of the situation. For example, when she asked to negotiate, she found her ex-boyfriend Tony. She knew what point in this tightly organized group would be her breakthrough, and what relationship she could take advantage of temporarily. So she first took advantage of the "love and sex" relationship between herself and Tom.
We know that in the context of the patriarchal society’s relationship network, only women are allowed to speak and proactively fight under certain specific backgrounds. The first is that in love and sexual relations, men allow women to chase love. And "Madness for Love" allows women to persevere or turn upside down in order to fight for the love of a man, because this fully affirms their male gender roles and is deeply satisfied with a certain "narcissistic" gender complex towards themselves. But Gloria is not a woman who loves the most. She once suffered a loss in her relationship, and now she is a woman who takes advantage of love relationships.
When she called, her eyes were filled with tears, and she asked Tom softly if she had gained weight. She was indeed ecstatic at that moment, but this kind of friendship also acted by chance.
During the meeting, Gloria first looked at Tom affectionately and asked to smoke a cigarette. When Tom lighted her cigarette, she missed the opportunity to show Tom wintry and concubine, and then Tom asked her to hand over Phil, she said, "I feel like his mother, you all have mothers, right?"
Ge Loria has used another female identity that can be valued, respected, and initiative-"mother".
This reason makes it difficult for the gang leaders around her to refute. Then she asked for a glass of wine. These fake actions show that she is willing to continue to negotiate. After drinking, she may change her original intentions cruelly, and make the gang relax their vigilance against her. One member said Gloria was a "good girl" after leaving the negotiation room.
Undoubtedly, Gloria's role as a selfless "mother" infects him, and Gloria's fake actions also reassure him. So the gang summoned the men outside the door to take off their weapons, and they could go home from get off work and relax their vigilance.
Gloria failed to impress Tony. She used a series of images of pitiful, tender, ambiguous, lover, old friend, selfless maternal love and extremely trusting and reliant on Tom, but Tony had no intention of breaking the order of the entire collective, his love with Gloria was as thin as paper. When talking about the relationship between myself and Gloria, I just said rudely, "We have sex." The voice-over is because of this "have sex," he is willing to give Gloria a platform for dialogue. Gloria knew that what she wanted had failed, so she took advantage of the negligence of the gang members, stood up and walked out.
Starting to take a bath, the gang members who were eating were unexpectedly embarrassed and rushed out of the bathroom with their bath towels to stop Gloria. The guards outside the door were completely unaware of what happened inside the door. Without looking back, Gloria withdrew from the power center of the underworld like a whirlwind.
Gina was already fifty years old when she played Gloria. The wrinkles and fatigue on the corners of her face could no longer be concealed with cosmetics. Long-term smoking and alcoholism made her control over her emotions weaker. In the years when she has begun to age and fade away, she has gradually performed the most dazzling roles: such as "A Woman Under Power" at the age of 44, "The Night of the Premiere" at the age of 47, and "The Night of the Performance" at the age of 50. Female Shaman Gloria. In "Women under Power", she dedicated her life's hottest light and the most brilliant performance. This performance is a hall-level performance, with multiple levels and precise and rapid control; she became a song that could not be heard, but Rhapsody that can be felt; under the rigors of life, she is a magician who is unwilling to give in. Her body is covered with various masks, showing off her amazing inner world and violent resistance in various faces. , This performance completely conquered the entire film industry, let the most discerning film critics be overwhelmed with admiration.
But the screen is a cruel world. It is huge and bright, and it can always ruthlessly reflect the old appearance of your appearance and the gradually ruined heart. At the age of 50, this "Female Shark Gloria" is like a hero's last elegy. A powerful actor can always perform herself in the role. Gina shows us the end of her acting career, the last regret and confusion. . Gloria has a tired face and sees through the world, her gun-drawing action is stiff and unreal, and many details of the plot have not been perfected and smoothed as they should be. She does not pay much attention to the ubiquitous enemies or the little partner who is bullying and subduing. , She is always panicking on the street, helpless, and not knowing where to go.
Amidst all kinds of entanglement, imposed on oneself, heavy responsibility morality and identity, among all kinds of dealings and the pitiful tenderness given by fate, Gina desperately wanted to tear off the hand of her child's dependence. She was The person deprived of the right of free choice by the world, whether on the screen or in her own heart, she has always been a woman on the run.
