Man can rape women but women can't do it

The whole film covers a lot of viewpoints and information, and I want to analyze it here.

"At first I wanted to rape him, so that he could feel the pain of being raped, but I'm a woman so I can't do that, so I want you to rape him, but considering that you might not want to, it takes time to get excited What, so I want to stab him with a broom handle..." This is what the heroine said to the criminal. It can be seen that the body structure of men and women is different, and we will never be able to perceive the feelings of the opposite sex towards sex. Naturally, women are at a disadvantage. There was a news in foreign countries that four women raped a man, which also shows the disparity of power between men and women. Men always enjoy sex more than women, so they will say "come and rape me". There is also a saying to women, "If you can't resist, it's better to lie down and enjoy." This is something that very few women can do. Even if they can, how should the humiliation in their hearts be adjusted.

"Feminism" is often talked about now, because we hope that men and women can be equal. A man said, "Physically, women are bound to be weak. Only when the balance is tilted toward women can equality be achieved." Maybe this sentence is right, but the reality is that Libra is constantly tilting towards men. Even if he meets a weaker man, he makes women pretend to be weaker than him and keeps returning women to the family, so he has to rely on men materially. , making women even less right to speak.

"In a democratic country, there is no danger in knocking on the door in the middle of the night." In the play, the heroine sees a car driving near her home in the middle of the night and someone knocks on the door, so she picks up a pistol, which is a dictatorial society. In today's modern society, we are still vigilant and dare not open the door when we encounter knocking on the door in the middle of the night. In my impression, only in the last era, it seemed that every household did not have to close their doors to sleep at night. That era can also be said to be an era when materials were relatively scarce, but they were spiritually rich. Today, although it has reached a moderately prosperous level, the gap between the rich and the poor is also growing, and social unrest has also increased. No one is satisfied with the status quo. It seems that everyone is fighting for fame and fortune. May we have a rich soul and a stable life even though we are inactive.

"I am the only overlord, I can kill anyone, I can make them say what I like and do what I like", this is what the criminal or doctor said, it makes people feel that if there is no restraint, then human nature will be How far will it fall. Originally, a doctor was an angel's profession, and he was also sent to treat students who were arrested and tortured. However, once there is no legal restraint and the instigation of the controller, the evil in human nature will be inspired, and the opponent has no bound chicken. The students of the power have done something morally corrupt.

"Once you get the robbery, you won't discuss it with me." Because of a gun in the wife's hand, the plot was pushed forward. From the wife's point of view, in a dictatorial society, it is impossible to give a fair ruling based on evidence and the law. Evidence can be destroyed or fabricated, so it can only be solved by force. Here I think of the phrase "power comes from the barrel of a gun". When justice is not law and useless, then only violence is left. Finally, in the face of death, the criminal finally speaks out about his crime. Yes, only death is the most overbearing.

    Most of the time of the movie is spent in the interior of a large house in the wild in the rainy night, which gives Polanski an ideal stage where he is best at creating drama conflicts. Therefore, this revenge that violates the framework of democracy and the legal system is the space for all actors to perform their stunts. When the camera was pulled outside, the desperate place where the waves were wrapped in heavy rain and washed the cliffs violently is the Costa da Morte in the province of A Coruña.
