Up to now, Jia Ling's second film "Hot and Hot" has exceeded 3.4 billion yuan at the box office amid controversy, becoming the highest-grossing film in this year's Spring Festival. Broadly speaking, the controversy caused by this movie is mainly in two points, initially because it was a remake of a Japanese movie, which was criticized by some people as "plagiarism", and later after the release, the news that Jia Ling lost 100 pounds was overwhelming, becoming a hot spot on the list, and was criticized by some people as "excessive marketing".
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with both, remakes and marketing are the inevitable consequences of the operation of commercial films. Many famous directors have made famous films with remakes, but that doesn't detract from the esteem that fans have for them. And Jia Ling's feat of performance art is even more awe-inspiring. Who says fat girls have to "accept their beauty"?
From the perspective of story genre, this is actually a very typical female inspirational movie, and the heroine has undergone a huge transformation in the film. Even though she was swayed by some male characters along the way, it didn't stop her from eventually becoming a strong woman who stood up for what she stood for. If this character is replaced by a man, many aspects will not be able to justify itself, and this story may not be established.
Without further ado, on the occasion of Women's Day in March, here are a few more great movies ...... that will make you awe of women
Never Break Up was released in 2000 and directed by Steven Soderbergh and grossed $2$56.3 billion. The film is based on the true story of legal assistant Erin Brockevich (Julia Roberts), who discovers a dangerous fact: a company is using a toxic substance that pollutes water sources in order to maximize profits. Contaminated water has caused hundreds of people to become ill, develop cancer, or develop other major health problems.
Erin wholeheartedly accepts the case and seeks justice and reparations for the families involved. Although she works under the supervision of a lawyer, she does most of the work herself. She gathered evidence, negotiated with company representatives, and even memorized the names of all those affected.
Her incredible work ethic, her perseverance in the face of adversity, and her fierce attitude to defending victims and resisting corporate corruption are all very inspiring. The film is a reminder of such a woman who has done her best for a noble cause and her work. The film reawakens the value of "working women" and dispels the stereotype that "men do better".
The Queen Wears Prada was released in 2006 and directed by David Frankel and has become a well-known classic. Even if you haven't seen it, you've certainly heard of it. The film tells the story of a young journalist who works as editor-in-chief for New York's largest fashion magazine.
The editor-in-chief, Miranda (Meryl Streep), is portrayed as a strong woman who succeeds through hard work, shrewdness, and intelligence. She is ruthless at work. Once she stepped into the company, everyone began to behave differently, as if her presence would allow everyone to be in place. She earned respect through her personality, but not without a price. Many competitors have their eyes on her and will not give up until she is brought down.
Although we see Miranda being frustrated at one point in the film, she quickly dusts off her body and gets back on her feet. Come up with ways to turn defeat into victory and bankrupt the enemy's plots. Of course, she did this with the help of faithful assistants. Although she sometimes takes things too extreme, there's no denying that the character always exudes feminine power.
Legally Blonde is another classic American film directed by Robert Luktick. The film follows Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), a blonde sorority girl with a privileged life and apparently spoiled, who is abandoned by her beloved and told that she is superficial and not smart enough. The breakup was just a reminder of the well-held stereotype of a "blonde silly woman."
Faced with insults from her ex-boyfriend, she decided to apply to Harvard Law School. The film shows the young woman's journey to discover her potential and rebuild her self-esteem. Escalate from a story of "revenge on your ex" to a story of a woman's ultimate success. The film teaches us that self-discipline, perseverance, and self-confidence are stepping stones for anyone, including women, to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
If you want to see women's foresight, the 2014 thriller suspense film Gone Girl is another movie worth watching. Starring Bae Chunhua and Ben Affleck, the film follows a couple Nick and Amy Duquesne whose marriage is going through a crisis. After discovering her husband's infidelity, Amy did not lash out and fight as expected. Instead, she mysteriously vanished, leaving her husband a suspected wife killer.
The film shows the side of women that has always been taken for granted, letting us know that the only ** thing a woman has is not tears, and she can also be as cunning as a man. In this film, the wife punishes her husband for his infidelity by putting him through a difficult ordeal. The point here is not to ask us to forgive her for the crime of framing her husband, but we have to admit that women can also become very dangerous, perhaps, "love is like a battlefield" is not just a proverb.
Amy is not the kind of woman people usually think of, she is dominated by her own head rather than her emotions. She is a great inspiration when it comes to controlling emotions and maintaining balance.
2020's Miss Sherlock Holmes: The Missing Marquis is a suspenseful crime film based on the literary legacy of Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle portrays an impressive male detective who uncovers the truth in a variety of complex crime scenes. The film, on the other hand, re-establishes the presence of women in "high-intelligence" professions by creating a female substitute and constructing a perspective on women's crime solutions.
Enola is Sherlock's younger sister and she is able to solve complex mysteries. In Miss Sherlock Holmes: Doom for London, this feminist tone is further strengthened with the introduction of Sarah Chapman, a key figure in the historical event "The Stick Girl Strike". This retelling of the story of a female political activist is both interesting and educational.
In more ways, the film calls for the feminization of male-dominated culture and careers. There is not just one inspiring female character in the film, but two: detective Enola and union activist Sarah Chapman.
For a long time, superpowers were the preserve of men; The theater is filled with works of Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and countless other superheroes that have no women at all. In Wonder Woman, the men can finally sit on the bench and see how the women complete their tasks.
Wonder Woman tells the story of a superhero named Diana (played by Gal Gadot), the princess of Semisila and the Amazons, the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, the king of the gods. Her concern for humanity and her tireless efforts to save humanity from the threat of the dark Ones are a testament to her strong sense of morality and boundless compassion. She is a hero in the truest sense of the word, not only because of her innate divine powers and magical abilities, but also because of her deep understanding of right and wrong and her determination to defend just causes.
Mona Lisa's Smile (2003).
Mona Lisa's Smile is an American drama film released in 2003 and directed by Mike Newell.

Like a tornado hitting a quiet town, Professor Katherine Ann Watson (Julia Roberts) enters the lives of these girls with the aim of freeing them from the social constraints that prevent them from pursuing their careers or pursuing their personal dreams. She clarified the importance of having ambitions, visions, and hobbies that are independent of marriage.

The Women's Conversation was a phenomenal success. Based on Miriam Toth's 2018 eponymous title, the film tells the story of a group of women in a religious settlement who are drugged and drugged by men in the village.
The plot of the film takes place in the aftermath of abuse and depicts how women come together to decide what fate they are about to face. They formed a committee to discuss the possibilities before them. Some voted to stay and fight for their rights, or simply leave the village. It doesn't matter what decisions you make; The important thing is that they regain control of their lives by deciding their own future.
The film tries to break the silence around abused women and convince them that being a good person doesn't mean losing power. The message of the film is clear that if women decide not to give up power, power will always be in their hands.
