All kinds of discrimination that happens in our lives

Raleigh 2022-03-25 09:01:22

If the heroine of "Wonderful Woman" ("Ordinary Woman") was replaced by a "sexually correct" third-party affair story, the film wouldn't spark discussion. So it is good that she uses transgender to cut into various issues that often occur in our lives (even "single with correct sexual orientation" will encounter different levels of discrimination~). I would say that the script is very innovative in this treatment. And this heroine, who has always been "smooth", is so distinctive that you have to leave an impression. However, in terms of comprehensiveness, artistry, narrative and other aspects, I still think that the Russian "When Love Is Gone" is relatively strong. For foreign language films, "When Love is Gone" is my current number one. (I haven't seen Hungary and Lebanon yet)

    This year, the number of LGBT films has grown exponentially. There are traditional same-sex films like "Beach Rat", which are emotionally cut, and films like this film and "120 BPM" that are mixed with political appeals in the narrative. This film is full of malice against her from all aspects of society, and it highlights her helplessness as an "ordinary woman", who can only talk about comfort in fantasy (the struggle at the end is obviously too idealistic).

    6/10. Before the end, there is a scene where Malena puts a mirror on the sofa where her sexual organs are. She looks resolute and calm in the mirror. This mirror corresponds to the prosecutor's humiliating physical examination. The more the audience holds the curiosity The mentality wants to explore the naked body of the transgender person, the more the director turns the camera away with respect. Malena has endured all kinds of unreasonable discrimination and threats, and portrayed Malena's face, which was kidnapped by her lover's relatives and wrapped with tape, to a distorted face. The vicious words around her did not cause her emotional breakdown. Uncompromising toughness. Malena finally won the opportunity to say goodbye to her lover's body. The surreal farewell kiss in the space where the red and white light was split, and the big dog left by her lover lying quietly at her feet, was everything that was successfully fought. Although it didn't live up to the grandiose promise of Niagara Falls in the opening scene, this unhurried woman finally stepped onto the stage of self-power, conquering the masses with her charm and singing voice.

A Fantastic Woman quotes

  • Profesor de Canto: Saint Francis says, Make me an instrument of your love, make me a channel of your peace.

  • Sonia: [to Marina] Sorry if it's crude and blunt of me to say this, but I really think that this is just perversion. Sorry, but... When I look at you, I don't know what I'm seeing. A chimera, that's what I see.

    Marina Vidal: A chimera... yeah.

    Sonia: Sorry.

    Marina Vidal: There's no need to be sorry. You're normal, ma'am. You're fine, ma'am.
