Deep Dive
Why did the speaker feel uncomfortable watching the movie 'Catch the Doll'?
The speaker felt uncomfortable because the movie's premise involves wealthy individuals pretending to be poor, which creates a moral dilemma. The speaker found it difficult to laugh at the wealthy characters' predicaments due to the underlying class issues and the sense that the wealthy were condescendingly consuming the poor. Additionally, the movie's shift to a child's perspective in the latter half intensified the speaker's discomfort, as it highlighted the manipulation and emotional harm inflicted on the child.
What was the speaker's main criticism of 'From the 21st Century Safe Withdrawal'?
The speaker criticized the movie for its outdated worldview and values, particularly its glorification of juvenile behavior and lack of self-reflection. The speaker found the film's themes of 'men never growing up' and its nostalgic portrayal of youth to be unappealing and even annoying. Additionally, the speaker was uncomfortable with the movie's treatment of female characters, which they felt perpetuated harmful stereotypes and catered to a narrow, male-centric perspective.
Why did the speaker not dislike 'Decryption' as much as they expected?
The speaker did not dislike 'Decryption' as much as expected because they felt the movie was a more sincere and less calculated effort by director Chen Sicheng. Unlike his previous films, which the speaker viewed as manipulative and insincere, 'Decryption' seemed to lack a clear product design, making it feel less like a commercial product. While the film had flaws, such as poor female character depictions and derivative elements, the speaker appreciated that Chen was attempting a more serious and ambitious project, even if it ultimately fell short.
What did the speaker find problematic about the humor in 'Catch the Doll'?
The speaker found the humor in 'Catch the Doll' problematic because it relied on a premise where wealthy individuals pretended to be poor, creating a moral burden for the audience. The speaker felt that comedy requires the audience to feel a sense of superiority over the characters, but the class dynamics in the movie made it difficult to laugh without feeling morally compromised. Additionally, the movie's shift to a child's perspective in the latter half turned the humor into something more tragic and unsettling, further diminishing the comedic effect.
How did the speaker describe the portrayal of women in 'From the 21st Century Safe Withdrawal'?
The speaker described the portrayal of women in 'From the 21st Century Safe Withdrawal' as outdated and problematic. They noted that the film perpetuated harmful stereotypes, such as depicting a once-desirable female character as a 'fallen woman' in adulthood, which they felt catered to a narrow, male-centric fantasy. The speaker found this treatment of female characters uncomfortable and reflective of the film's overall lack of progressive values.
