This antipathy seems to persist throughout the film, which is a rare occurrence for me.
To this day, once the slightest image of this movie appears in my mind, I still feel nauseated, and I gradually realize that it is not the "disgusting" behavior of the hero and heroine of the movie that disgusts me. This disgust comes from my instinct. Sexual aversion.
From the instinctive disgust that I am male.
Strong feminism is everywhere in the film. Strong enough not to give men a chance to breathe. This is the source of my disgust. (As if unstoppable) The
funny thing is that I used to call myself feminism, but when the real strong feminism came, as a man, I subconsciously resisted. Now that I think about it, my so-called "feminism" is actually still patriarchal in private: I still see myself as a huge force (for women) and want to defend feminism.
Let me illustrate
a statement at the beginning of the feminist film that emerges from a few points in the film. It stated that in order not to make the audience feel uncomfortable, the pussy appearing in the film is made of artefacts.
That is, a fake pussy.
This is superficially easy to understand and seems perfectly reasonable. Where is the problem? The problem is that the movie claims are fake genitals. According to habitual thinking, since the genitals are fake, then the penis must also be fake. But no, the pictures of male genitalia in the movie are all real.
If director Catherine Breillat was really trying to take into account that the audience would be disturbed by the appearance of directly exposed genitals, all genitals should be considered fake. If not, then the presence of female genitalia is uncomfortable and the presence of males is not? What is the logic? Both are genitals, and they are essentially the same.
It can only be said that the director has already protected women subconsciously. Differential treatment was implemented.
In real life, women's bodies are always the talk and fantasies of men. We men have created countless pornographic jokes, all of which are sexually suggestive to women. There is such a pair in every man's brain. Image: I slowly undressed her, revealing a pair of well-shaped breasts... So in an article I wrote a long time ago, I said that if rape happened, it wasn't just the man A person's responsibility is the result of all of our men's efforts to contribute to this.
In this movie, it is uncharacteristically, the heroine lies on the bed naked, while the hero sits in neat clothes, completely subverting the sexual behavior that was usually dominated by men in the past. Here, women have become Sexual powerhouse, she knows the magic power her body gives, and she knows that men can't hold back their impulses. So when the man who treats women with contempt finally sleeps with the heroine, he weeps sadly, because he can't get rid of this sexual desire and sleeps with women. (a dry and boring sex) But he still did it, the man's image here is cowardly and contains a most primitive vulgarity.
Men have struggled several times in the future to knock down women and restore their dignity as men, but they all ended in failure. And the psychological confession of the man on the last night even degraded the man to the bottom. When the woman gave the man money, the man said in his heart: "Although I don't want to take the money, I still take it."
The woman in the movie is like A gigantic and beautiful bird, she stretched out her wings and shrouded the men in incomparable shadows.
Perhaps that's why the critics ignored the film, Catherine Breillat took the feminist flag too far and left the men with no respite.
No matter what the original title of the film was intended to be, I personally think the name "Anatomy of Hell" is the best fit for it. It ruthlessly dissects the problems and psychology between men and women (note that the usage of "between men and women" has a strong male-dominated tendency. Why do we usually say not women and men? But men and women?) It is also a concept of men. An act of resistance in a dominant society.
It can only be said that whether it is female-dominated or male-dominated, it is unfair if one of them is too strong.
But this movie can be used as a touchstone to test how huge the male chauvinism is in your mind. Women can think about the power they are born with.
Also: I admit that when I was writing, I couldn't help but think of saying a few good things for men, and this sign became more and more obvious, so I quickly stopped writing and hoped to look at this matter with an objective attitude. It seems that I can't get rid of this kind of male chauvinism.
