This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
watched this on nye then gave a friend a bj. collective reaction to delon throwing the manuscript overboard was that i’d have strangled him if he did that to me. he’d have ended up in the water.
Powerful film, I especially noted feelings of futility & resignation to fate, as well as pitting women against each other / feudal dynamics.
Additionally Songlian’s struggle between fighting the strong Confucian ethic while also appropriating it on some level, & her mixed feelings of her situation as dis(empowered) in the Chen household.
