cheating, robbing girlfriends and boyfriends, mercenary, gnawing old and decadent, the female characters in "Hot and Hot" have so many shortcomings, why can they still be recognized by so many audiences, praising this movie for showing female power?
"Hot and Hot" has led the Spring Festival stalls since its release, as the second film directed by Jia Ling, the plot did not disappoint everyone, losing 100 pounds a year, showing the tenacity and strength of women on the screen.
But in fact, in "Hot and Hot", whether it is the heroine or the supporting actress, there are distinct shortcomings. Despite this, there are still many viewers who admire the power of women in movies.
In the final analysis, it is because "Hot and Hot" truly shows the diversity of women from a female perspective.
In films from a male perspective, there are many stereotypes about women. They are either fragile victims, good wives and mothers who are willing to pay, or women who are full of amorous feelings.
But in "Hot and Hot", the female characters with their own shortcomings are closer to the women in reality.
As the heroine in the movie, Le Ying gnawed at her old age after graduating from college, smoked and drank, even if she had a boyfriend and girlfriends, she would only output negative emotions.
In the first half of the movie, Le Ying's character is very unlikable and cowardly, although the audience sympathizes with her betrayal by her boyfriend and best friend, but can also understand that her miserable situation is self-inflicted.
Le Dan and her sister's personalities are completely different, she is outstanding, she is pampered by her parents, and she is held by men, so she develops a selfish character. It's obvious that he is cheating, but he confidently says that he is charming, and asks his sister to transfer the house to him.
In real life, girls with outstanding looks are sought after, and their mentality will inevitably be high, but their endings are often not miserable. So in the movie, Le Dan was not punished in any way.
When her cousin Doudou first appeared, she was a warm-hearted little sun, and she tried her best to help Le Ying** find a job, but behind the scenes, she just wanted to use Le Ying to gain traffic and add explosive points to her show.
Doudou doesn't care about the so-called kinship, and uses the connections around him to achieve his goals. In real life, it is not uncommon for girls to sacrifice others for their own interests, and Doudou represents this kind of person.
The rarest thing in the movie is the attitude towards women's smoking. In many movies, women smoking are often filmed beautifully and stylishly.
But in "Hot and Hot", the first shot about cigarettes is the Coke bottle in Le Ying's house, which is full of cigarette butts, which is the most common phenomenon in life.
The second scene of smoking is Le Ying lying that she doesn't know how to smoke, but she was broken by Haokun, which is a funny little baggage.
The third scene about smoking is Haokun handing cigarettes to Le Ying, but Le Ying told her that she had quit smoking.
In Jia Ling's films, smoke is no longer associated with all kinds of amorous things, but just inconspicuous small details in life. Just like in life, men never shy away from smoking on various occasions.
Hot and Hot does not create a perfect image of women, but only shows real women in life, who will cheat, will be selfish, will take advantage of others, and have all kinds of shortcomings. But because of this, they are real and living people.
Getting rid of gender bias is the true embodiment of women's power. We also expect that there will be more directors like Jia Ling who will truly show women in life, instead of treating them as solidified movie symbols and green leaves to set off men.
