The whole film not only describes wonder woman's understanding of war and human nature from a female perspective, but also understands the meaning of heroes and the ultimate price to pay in the process of marching.
Among DC cosmic heroes, there are relatively few heroines. Often in movies, the appearance of the heroine plays a foil role.
Wonder woman's films are the first time to think about some universal problems from the perspective of women. Although this attempt is still a little rough, it is a meaningful voice of female logic. Because of this, wonder woman won the word-of-mouth box office and rushed into the Oscar nomination.
The attempt of female perspective is very meaningful.
This film thinks about the war from a female perspective, thinks about the hidden humanity behind the war, and observes and feels the cruelty and helplessness of the price paid by the war from a female perspective. These are quite meaningful attempts.
Wonder woman is the patron saint of Xanadu and a family pet. Because of this, when the heroine and Steven came to the civilized world, their understanding of various issues can be said to be "innocent." Especially for the understanding of war, it is too superficial. On the one hand, she wants to protect mankind, on the other hand, she has a sense of superiority. She believes that the war was deliberately provoked by the God of War in order to save it. She thinks that the evil of human heart is not worth mentioning and deserves forgiveness.
In the first half of this trip to the civilized world, you will feel that the heroine is too stupid and simple to think about things. However, this time I really imagine the world from a female perspective. No diaosi, no broken mouth, no complaints, no anger. Her attribution to the world war may be too simple, but the cost of the war is too light. But in the end, she felt it and understood it.
Break the heroic routine
Although this is a heroic movie, it is not limited to routines. Appearance is not the most important content, super power is not the most important, saving mankind is not the biggest theme, the most important thing is the heroine's thinking, feeling, acceptance and integration into this world.
The most rare thing about this film is the growth it gives the heroine. The appearance of every hero movie inevitably introduces the origin of "super power", the setting of characters' personality and the balance between hero and ordinary. Wonder woman solved the first two problems in less than ten minutes. Then, a lot of space is not devoted to heroes and ordinary people, but to the understanding of war and the cost of war. In the understanding of war, I changed the consciousness that God can protect mankind. At the moment when I finally lost my "lover", I understood that the price paid by war far exceeded my imagination.
In the war, ordinary people's yearning for peace is strong. Although life is so fragile, their abilities and contributions to people are enormous and indescribable. Just like the villagers in Belgium, life was so lively a moment ago, and everyone was singing and dancing. The next day it was in ruins, although the villagers fought hard again. Steven flew the plane into the sky and finally exploded. In the whole movie, although wonder woman has never been hurt, her heart should be as shocked and painful as the audience. After a war, wonder woman retired. Although his face hasn't changed, his heart has changed a lot.
It can be seen that the price of life, the price of war, is how hurtful and frustrating.
The above is rarely seen in many hero movies. Most heroes are lonely because they are beyond their power, for the side effects of their abilities and so on. And there is always a sense of superiority beyond human beings. The moment they become heroes, they automatically draw an invisible line with human beings. However, wonder woman did the opposite. He really understood man from God and deeply realized his strength and helplessness.
Great influence outside the play
This movie is a commercial blockbuster and a successful attempt to take women as superheroes. The awakening of feminist consciousness outside the film is even more surprising when the film wins a win-win situation at the box office.
First of all, this film thinks about universal problems from the perspective of women. This brand-new perspective has been accepted by the whole world, which has won a good reputation and box office not only in Europe and America, but also in China. Once this hero was introduced, it was quickly recognized by the public. Because of this, the film market is inclined to female roles, and female roles are constantly allowed to bear the plot, which has gradually become the mainstream trend of commercial films. This is a collective betrayal of the vase-like female role in popular aesthetics.
Secondly, the extensive discussion caused by this film began to extend to reality. Especially in the Oscar nomination, several successful female films made the public aware of the problem of different pay for equal work between men and women in the big film industry. The pay gap is even a deep valley. Gal Gadot, who plays wonder woman, works hard for his role, but his salary is only $300,000, while Superman Henry Cavill earns $6,543,800 when he plays Superman: Superman: Man of Steel. Even in the salary comparison between top actresses and actors, women's salary lags far behind men's.
These films made the whole world start to talk about the huge unfairness between men and women, and also made everyone deeply realize that the road to equality between men and women is still very difficult. But from wonder woman, everything is a good start. The success of this film has inspired more people to continue to pay attention to and solve problems.
