"Pride and Prejudice" star Keira Knightley starred for the first time as a bisexual "Colette" who grew up and lived out herself. (kk has a hermaphrodite, angular face and aura, which is free from the mainstream Chinese aesthetics, but this is what attracted me to join the movie "Want to Watch" series. But in fact, hermaphrodite appearance is also a way to identify intersex The stereotype of lovers.) The whole film takes Colette’s two emotional histories as emotional clues—straight marriage and women’s life, showing the process of Colette’s own awakening and self-exploration as a female subject.
The first relationship is straight marriage
In 1892, at this time, Colette, living in the countryside, lived an idyllic life, with a simple and happy family. However, at the same time, Willy, an uncle from the city who is several decades older than her, frequents her house and brings her small gifts (the uncle is very romantic?)
Although the uncle talks eloquently and is quite assertive, just when Colette's parents worry that the uncle from the city does not know his daughter, Colette seems to be obscured by romantic feelings.
Privately (impatiently) running off to fuck willy? (Imagine how uninhibited Claire pursues love and freedom).
Simple and yearning for a romantic love and marriage, Claire was under the continuous offensive of the uncle's sweet words. So, isn't it a happy ending?
No, the real test has just begun!
In fact, Willy is the famous prodigal son in the city. In the first salon they attended, Colette also saw her husband flirting with other women for the first time. The husband said that this was a normal social phenomenon in Parisian society at the time, and this was also the first marriage test that Colette experienced. , but Colette chose to endure and smile
As a literary entrepreneur, Willy needs to constantly write for a living, and Colette is his assistant. In her spare time, Colette is also thinking about Wily waiting for him to come home, but she thinks that she loves Willy and this family.
But at this moment, Colette once again discovered the essence of Willy's prodigal son. Willy's excuse is "what a man can do" "men are slaves of desire and therefore gender disadvantaged" (see how confident and rigorous these straight men's cancer words are)
At this time, Colette broke out for the first time! "You been lying to me all the time" "Go to hell" This time, Colette didn't endure it, but left him and went home.
But this time, it was just like a couple quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Under Willy's repeated attacks of apology, weakness and assurance, Colette once again chose to forgive. This time, Colette showed what she needed to be a professional woman, and Willy made sure that Colette would work with him and start a business. It was also at this time that Willy discovered Colette's writing talent, and Colette began to write one after another for the sake of the family.
At the same time, in order to keep publishing and making money from writing, Willy does everything he can, both soft and hard, locking Colette at home several times until he writes something new. All of this is the accumulation of the eventual breakdown of their marriage.
The couple, for the sake of real writing material experience, started an open marriage relationship, and Willy acquiesced in the one-night stand-style of Collyer's female and female dating. But at the same time, Willy hides the fact that Colette is dating this woman. Colette is angry but not enough to threaten their marriage.
What really touched the bottom line of Colette's marriage, which was the fuse of the last emotional outburst and the breakdown of the marriage, was when she discovered that her husband had sold all the works and copyrights that should belonged to her to publishers. This time, Colette finally sees the essence of this marriage: "deal"
Second Emotion: The Lives of Two Girls
It was at the time when Colette and Willy became famous for their work "Claudine" that Colette met a lesbian from high society, dressed in men's clothing. In the brief exchange, Colette was infected by her maverick temperament. In addition to her own gentlemanly temperament, she also had the spirit of feminism and the situation as a vulnerable group, strong and fragile.
Then they went to bed....then she put on men's clothes...then she learned to dance...and then Colette followed her in a play, and in the process she felt a real Freedom without chains. At the same time in the process, after the marriage to a straight man finally broke down, Colette finally chose this woman, went on a national tour with her, and lived the life she wanted.
Sexuality is not black and white, either or both, fixed and unchangeable, on the contrary, lust is abundant and fluid. gender? Sexuality? Forget it! We love the person, not the gender. Like Colette, she never deliberately asked herself whether she likes a man or a woman, and what is important is what kind of relationship makes her the most comfortable! Don't worry too much about your gender dress, what kind of external expression, how you feel comfortable, and be yourself!
