How to Make a Misogynistic Movie and Call it Feminist
"Ladies First" has a fundamental misunderstanding of what's feminine because of the patriarchy and what women do because they genuinely enjoy it.
The Grass in Wind
Set in wartime Sichuan, the film follows young widow Xia Qiuyue, who receives news of her husband's death just as the Anti-Japanese War ends. As she rebuilds her life, two men enter her world: her mute brother-in-law Tusheng and A Long, a fellow soldier and her husband's close friend. Tensions rise as both men fall for her, while A Long is also loved by her sister-in-law, Xiaohua. Just as peace seems possible, war returns, and both men volunteer to fight, each willing to sacrifice himself for love and brotherhood.
