'Easy A' Is Pretty Anti Sex
'Easy A' is emblematic of a world that liked to sarcastically pretend it was progressive but wasn’t actually ready for that change, making it pretty anti-sex.

During the period of the Tian Dynasty, the envoys from Dongying bewitched the emperor, to release Chi You, the demon god who had been sealed for thousands of years, to bring disaster to the world. In order to protect the seal, the Qimen sect was brutally suppressed. Mr. Dong Guo, the wandering elder, met the talented Liu Zimo by chance, and planned to take him as his apprentice. As the pursuit of Dongying evildoers gradually tightened, Liu Zimo and his party resisted several times. Dong Guo sacrificed himself to protect Liu Zimo so he could leave safely, and entrusted him with the Pupil Arm that opened the seal. Forced to shoulder the heavy burden, Liu Zimo embarked on a journey of practice, and at the same time fell into a sadomasochistic relationship. Dongying bewitched Ji Yuanhuizi to take the opportunity to release Chi You.The color of the sky changed, and the wind was surgical, and a desperate battle was ready to go.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
“I’m always interested in exploring female fantasy, and the sexy witch is a loaded archetype that is simultaneously about men’s fears and fantasies about women, and women’s feelings of empowerment and agency. So whereas we are used to seeing the sexy witch or the femme fatale from the outside, I wanted to explore her from the inside.” - Anna Biller, on why she made The Love Witch
