With the popular release of “Beijing Meets Seattle,” the “mistress” has become a hot topic of discussion again.
What is the reason for this?
Netizens spit it out: “Wen Jiajia ruined three views”
Wen Jiajia, played by Tang Wei in “Beijing Meets Seattle,” was once the “non-professional mistress” of a food magazine editor. The company’s first ever “Sleepless in Seattle” was a new venture in the U.S., where it chose to give birth to its children and use its money to create an “American national” identity. In the United States, she meets Frank, played by Wu Xiubo, and the two of them spark up. The drama has been doing very well at the box office since its release, but along with the optimistic box office results came a debate among netizens about the movie’s “mistress” and “gold-digging” topics. The media’s Meng Jing’s twitter feed said that “Beijing Meets Seattle” subverted three views, which became a trigger for many critics and netizens to start a debate on both sides of the issue.
The positive side of the debate: the three views are reversed to whitewash the mistress
Media personality Meng Jing said he did not appreciate the three views of “Beijing Meets Seattle”, saying that even an insatiable second wife like Wen Jiajia could have such a happy ending, which would make wavering young people feel comfortable hurting others, “saying that although The film finally tried to show Wen Jiajia self-improvement, but the essence of her is an insatiable second wife to meet the good old man receiver, if the second wife have such a good outcome, the original three views on the wavering young girls will be more comfortable to choose to hurt others first, anyway, can not get any retribution, good men are so trampled on them why not feel comfortable to go when the bad man.” Many netizens expressed support saying: finally someone said what I wanted to say.
Yes, I’m not sure if I’m the only one who’s been in the game. The only thing that is correct about the film is the view of father and daughter.
Netizen “Rainbow Shadow” said the film was doing its best to find reasonable excuses for women like Haizao (the heroine of “Snail’s Nest”). The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
The opposing side of the argument: Can’t a mistress be a virtuous woman?
Of course, some netizens offered different views and expressed their understanding of Wen Jiajia in the movie, with some laughing and saying, “How come the mistress is not allowed to be a virtuous woman?”
The screenwriter, Liuliu, said Wen Jiajia has paid the price for her non-mainstream love, “I personally feel that a young girl who gets pregnant alone and lives alone with her child is in itself a punishment for her misconceptions, especially since the child has not lived with the father since birth. There are a significant number of women who are paying a heavy price for their non-mainstream love.”
Reviewer Zhai Zhenming’s article: “Positive energy” and “three views”: who is the third party in love?
When I say this, some people will immediately jump up and accuse me of being “vicious”. The first time I saw a woman, I said, “You mean all women want to live the parasitic life of a second wife?” This kind of questioning, which happens to forget that I have a basic negative attitude towards the lifestyle of the “second wife”, but for the different kinds of women in the so-called “mistress”, especially those who rebel for true love, there is another analysis.
The origin of the term “mistress” is not easy to examine, but it is widely used as a war between women and women. When a woman finds out her husband is having an affair, she hates not even her husband, but the “mistress”. The “mistress” to call the woman, or also a psychological advantage of self-congratulation, when with contempt and hatred to accuse another woman is “mistress”, this title on the dwarfing of the rival may be a psychological defense: I am big and you are small, I am good and you are evil
Funnily enough, when a man encounters a “male mistress,” it is often culturally seen as a good anecdote among men, a duel to the death. In this context, there is no “mistress” between the men, the culture does not seem to allow the men to look heroic short. The company’s main goal is to provide a better solution to the problem.
When we look at Tang Wei’s performance as Wen Jiajia, a “non-professional mistress”, we see in her both the vain and vain glory of the economically dependent “second wife” and the true nature of the “mistress”. We see in her both the vain vanity of the economically dependent “second wife” and the true nature of the “mistress”. When Wen Jiajia, who has been waiting for the “mistress to be converted”, runs away and decides to obey her heart’s call to find the man who will buy “soy milk and doughnuts”, the “mistress” Wen Jiajia is just like a “loving man”. The “third wife” is just like an “angel of love”. It is easy to lead us into some kind of review of our own confused “big three views”. So I don’t mean to be harsh when I say that Wen Jiajia brings us some “positive energy”.
