100 years of 3 women

Watching this film reminds me of another .
The original name of . This film was originally calledThese are the names of three women. These names do not seem to tell their stories, but just to mark their existence.
These are three extremely ordinary women who live their humble lives in silence, but the accident of life is also fate Inevitably, they are driven into passionate crimes that cannot be extricated.
Why do these women kill people with their weak hands? Yes, passionate crimes, they act impulsively and have no well-trained calm heads. I can only say that because of them I was passionate, but I was ignored for too long; because they had no intention of committing a crime, but those men committed crimes against them first.
If it were not for the rape of the young master, Tess would not lose her possible happy marriage, although this The young master still provides her with a worry-free life, but Tess did not have any softness when she started; if it had not been for Louis to have been raped, she might not have pressed the trigger so decisively, even though the nasty man had stopped having sex. Infringement, but he did not expect his foul language to become his own urging curse.
On the surface, these men’s mistakes are actually "not guilty of death". Why do these women burst into such anger? Indeed, on the surface Women were only sexually assaulted, but for Tess under the social background at that time, this ruined her life. In modern society a century later, although Louis can still lead a "normal" life, she The shadow in the heart still cannot be erased. In the eyes of these men, women are "scumbags" whether they get it or not. They are more than loveless, they treat them without any humanity, ignore their dignity, and ignore their feelings! This Just forcing these repressed women to declare their existence in an extreme way!
On the surface, this is a woman's overreaction to a man who hurts herself, but in fact, it is more than the man in front of them that hurts them? How narrow is Tess's husband? Selfish, Selma's husband is so surly and cold, their outburst is a concentrated outburst of dissatisfaction with all men. Just like at the end of the film, borrowing from the police detective to say: How many times, how many times these women suffered All insults! Actually, I don't think anyone would understand them under the circumstances at the time. In the eyes of men, they seemed so impulsive, lacking in reason, and making fuss, unnecessary.
I suddenly found that, from the late 19th century Tess life to the film the two women of the 20th century, and 100 years, the women's selection is still so small, they still take the old road ......
moss Silk must be executed, and Louis and Selma choose to die with more dignity. This is the result of women's struggle for freedom over the past 100 years!
In the final shot, the British Stone Circle at dawn and the American Grand Canyon at dusk are both It is such a magnificent beauty that makes everyone feel that we will not regret that we have lived...

    It's really speechless to see someone in the comments say it's women who are irritated and tell them to calm down. Are real women not calm enough? If every woman who is harassed, molested and humiliated draws guns like a movie, I don't know how many men will die in the streets. There's no chance for you to say "calm" lightly. The film did not give the two heroines a way to survive, which itself said that it would not work. The director used this story to tell us how abominable and damnable men who do not respect women are! If you can't understand this, it's either stupid or bad.

    For the first time in the Film Archive, Lei Gong's film can almost beat all the films that focus on women at this year's Oscars. Injecting the power of road films, without losing the chicness of Western films, the whole film is kept in a high state from the style of the camera to the soundtrack. The character exchange of the two heroines is very subtle. Less flaws, such as too deliberately vilifying the police group and rough in some logical details, but a leopard tail can be shocking
