? Adapted from the novel of the same name, it directly addresses gender injustice issues in Korean families and society. Kim Ji-young (Jung Yumi) has been living in accordance with social norms as a woman, becoming a "good daughter" expected by patriarchal parents, a docile and forbearing "good woman" in the workplace, and a "good wife" who puts family first . Until one day she seemed to be possessed, and her words and deeds were like her own mother. Her husband (played by Gong Yoo) decided to take her to receive psychological counseling, and the two of them faced her pain in life again. The novel has been controversial since its publication, and there was even a nationwide petition against it during the film adaptation project. This "unspeakable" story is still being put on the screen in the face of social pressure, which deserves attention.
"Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" and "Shame of Japan" are both very popular feminist works this year. I haven't read Shame of Japan yet. I have read both Jin Zhiying's books and movies. Relatively speaking, I recommend books and movies as For the adaptation, there are many plots that have not been changed.
First of all, the image of the husband is too perfect and Korean drama. The book is just a background board, not much about good or bad. It is more about the choices and difficulties faced by the heroine along the way, interspersed with the difficulties faced by her mother, sister and colleagues. It can be said that it contains all aspects of an ordinary woman's growth process. When watching it, she will make choices with the heroine. Hit three stars, but the strength is not weak. And the movie is a bit prose, the heroine's timeline is disrupted, her husband's function is enhanced, and the part of her split personality becomes a line, the original book can only be regarded as an introduction.
Possibly because the original work caused too much controversy, the main creator weakened many plots, which is a pity. For example, at the end of the movie, people complain about the heroine "Mom" at the beginning of the book, and the adjustment of the timeline does not have much impact. Here, the scene of the complaint is changed.
? Original work: The hostess pushes the stroller, finally puts her daughter to sleep, and buys a cup of coffee to reward herself to enjoy the rare leisure. The girls next to her saw how relaxed the heroine was, and quietly complained: I worked hard to earn a cup of coffee, but my mother got it easily, and then some words that you can't tell whether you are envious or jealous, but very mocking. The hostess collapsed when she got home, isn't she even eligible for a cup of coffee now?
In the movie, the person who complained was changed to a man, and the scene of complaining was that the daughter was making a fuss in the coffee shop and knocking over the coffee, and the hostess cleaned up in embarrassment.
Normally, this should be a joke, right? And it's different from the original feeling that outsiders feel that the heroine is in the blessing and she doesn't know the blessing. This place is obviously very embarrassing, and it seems that hiring a nanny can solve it. In addition, the internal fighting between women in the workplace and housewives is actually more reflective and sad than men's contempt for women.
Then it is a pity that the movie reduces the roles of the heroine's mother and sister, making it look like a sexually transformed version of "My Husband Has Depression" where the hero cures the heroine. In the original book, the heroine¡¯s mother forgot to tell her mother-in-law why it¡¯s not enough to please her mother-in-law at home after giving birth to a girl. They also have to please their husband¡¯s family after they get married. They dare not let their daughter come back for the festival, but they are worried that she will be bullied.
The role of the father has also been weakened, patriarchy is only manifested in loving the son and ignoring the daughter. In the original book, what is more important is the oppression of the wife so that the mother bursts out at the husband. The part is quite powerful.
The movie is actually okay, but it is really too easy in comparison, and in fact, even if it does not follow the original text, it can still be shot with strength. Here I must recommend the movie "Girl" co-produced by Belgium and the Netherlands last year. Although This is a story about a boy transgendered into a girl, but it is a bit similar to Jin Zhiying. In fact, both of them are lucky to get good cards. Although the boy is transgendered, his family understands and supports him, the society tolerates him, and his classmates do not exclude him. To let him better adjust his mind, his father also hired a psychiatrist to relieve his stress.
The entire external environment is set up in a dream, but this film still captures the pressure of being a small group of people in society. Under the condition of extremely small external pressure, it expresses the pressure and sadness accumulated in the process of the boy's transformation. It is very delicately expressed, especially though the actor is a debut and young, but his acting skills are superb. It is my personal best performance of the year in 2018, and the shots are also beautiful, the emotions are very restrained and full, and there are many ballet shots. Recommended to have a look.
By the way, I would like to recommend an Orange Light game "a gay 's life", which was previously amway in the comment section, and it is a very hard-working game.
Jin Zhiying, everyone can read books if they can, and choose movies if they can¡¯t. If you encounter a bookstore, go in and browse through it and you can finish it quickly, not more than an hour. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
