"Kim Jiyoung Born in 1982" has awakened the entire South Korea. They want to thank the people who wrote this novel and made it into video, rather than covering their ears in an attempt to not hear the bell.
Many people regard "Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" as a contest between feminism and patriarchy. In fact, is not a battlefield between men and women, it is a stone thrown into the lake for the awakening of men and women.
cooking, doing housework, feeding children, these are more suitable for women. For thousands of years, not only men have felt that it is right, women have also felt that this is "natural motherhood". No one has ever asked why there is no "paternal glory"?
"Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" is here, and it carries Lu Xun's most provocative question: has always been like this, right?
01. The compromise between female fertility and freedom
The core character of the film, Jin Zhiying, female, 37 years old, has a 2-year-old daughter and is an ordinary housewife.

Jin Zhiying is a miniature of millions of women. Getting married means having to give birth to children. If not, then he is a heretic, and he has to "enjoy" the irony of bystanders. In the
film, Jin Zhiying was sulking because her husband revealed the family plan to her mother-in-law. When her husband was teasing Jin Zhiying, he brought the topic of having a child. Jin Zhiying didn’t want to have a child early, but the husband said that “will have The child is born early or late. Since the mother wants to give birth, give birth early."
Jin Zhiying argued that this was different. Her husband vowed to tell Jin Zhiying that he would help her, change the baby's diapers in the future, and feed the baby. .
Her husband persuaded Jin Zhiying to give birth to a child
Her husband’s sweet words easily dispelled Jin Zhiying’s resistance to parenting, and she believed in her husband’s "all the same" future. This is the first time that Jin Zhiying has handed herself over to others and suppressed her free choice of reproduction.
For a married young woman, Jin Zhiying can't see the way people walked by. What she can remember is the vague past of her mother and grandmother as a child.
The mother was asked by her grandmother to give birth to children. After giving birth to girls, she would have to give birth to boys. If she did not give birth to boys, she would continue to give birth. It is perfect until there are boys. One boy is not enough, and more boys are perfect. This is how the mother of
came here. Even if there are two girls and one boy, the children will be stabbed by the older sister when they grow up. You should have another son.
Bearing a child is the value of a woman, and having a boy is the noble value of a woman.
is like Xiao Hong's "Life and Death Field", "The 17-year-old new wife Jinzhi gave birth for the first time, and she still had a big belly cooking and washing clothes when she was due to give birth. At night, her husband didn't care for her to vent her lust. The result was a fetal gas, and fortunately, the baby was born. Only a dozen days later, I was busy cooking, washing, and doing work."
can't help but give birth to them, and even the potential dangers brought by childbirth cannot make them. In awe, they are pleased with the birth of a new life and are extremely harsh on the mother who gave birth to the new life.
The words of others of the opposite sex sometimes make people vigilant and think about whether it is reasonable, but the same-sex people around them are like this. How can young people who are not enlightened can break the shackles of imprisonment.
is the same for all married women, how can she break the rules and discover the strangeness? The compromise between fertility and freedom was the first step that Jin Zhiying started to move towards abnormality.
Grandmother asked her two granddaughters to cook
. People who come to imprison their freedom, they choose to compromise.Once they became the overcomers, they also began to implement their rights as overcomers.
Whether it is the previous generation or the next generation, those who are compromised and compromised are poor people who give up freedom. Mother-in-law Jin Zhiying’s daughter returned to her natal home, and she didn’t have to do anything, because the mother-in-law said, “She was so tired at her mother-in-law’s home, and she wanted to relax when she returned to her home.” When
said these words, Jin Zhiying was wearing a gift from her mother-in-law. New Year's gift-apron, busy in the kitchen behind them. They don't seem so pitiful anymore, you think they don't understand, it turns out that they know more about oppression than anyone else.
Satisfies other people's expectations of female fertility, and the sorrow of women's compromise is not from the "inheritance" of close people, but more to let yourself go into the quagmire without knowing it.
02. Men enjoy the sleep of thinking
"Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" has no clear boundaries between black and white. Everyone changes between the exploiters and the exploited. There is a clip in the movie. Jin Zhiying came back from the cram school at night, was followed, and sent text messages to his father for help.
On a deserted street, the conversation between the father and daughter under the dimly lit yellow light broke the sense of distance in the movie, and every word pierced into the viewer's heart. The language was so real that it could not be refuted, and he breathed.
The father took his daughter home
The father said, "As a girl, dress modestly and dress with long skirts. Don't laugh at everyone." Jin Zhiying, who was wrapped in school uniform, emphasized that he didn't laugh at anyone. But the father only expressed himself, "The stone rolls over, it is not the fault of avoiding people."
The stone thrower need not apologize in a hurry. Some people have their own set of theory to get out of them. The father placed the wounded on a high ground, and the wounded took the blame. He is the representative of male hedonism and the epitome of the closed world of male self.
When the matrilineal clan moved to the patrilineal clan, the men of each generation inherited the "proverb" of the previous generation of "males are for the outside, women are for the inside". On the one hand, they feel at ease to enjoy the meticulous care of women, and at the same time they express their feelings for the hardship they have paid to the family.
Father blames Jin Zhiying for not paying attention to himself but blaming others
Work is hard and difficult, family labor, childbirth and education are easy. In the movie, Jin Zhiying's father's acceptance of women's pay is a sharp portrayal, while her husband is dressed in a cloak of understanding. The husband of
was the first to discover that Jin Zhiying would have split personality, and the second to know was Jin Zhiying's mother-in-law. After learning that the daughter-in-law was going out to work, the mother-in-law called and blamed Jin Zhiying hoarsely for ruining his son. The husband loves his wife, but he tells Jin Zhiying that it's okay if he doesn't go to work, and it's good to rest at home.
Husband is a gentle expression of traditional thinking. He does not join in mocking Jin Zhiying. He seems to be considerate of his wife. In fact, he is only a member of the "sleeping" army.
Jin Zhiying’s husband’s response to work shelving
He thought that not working at home means rest, until Jin Zhiying asked "Is it a rest to take care of the children?" , he was speechless.
also has male passers-by and male colleagues in the film. They rest on the rooftops and chat in cafes. They never leave women, and they mock young mothers as "mother bugs". They can live comfortably on their husbands. Spend other people's hard money.
They don’t think that domestic work is a special job. They don’t close 24 hours a day, do dishes, wash clothes and mop the floor, and poop and pee for young children. All of these are regarded as easy by them. And I only need to finish 8 hours of work and go home to lie down and enjoy.
these people, they symbolize the "sleep" of the general environment, they wash women, let women willingly live in the lower class. It is the pressure from all aspects that letThe new buds that women survived hard in the cracks were torn away alive.
"Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" wants to awaken the "sleeping men", put the problem on the stage, arouse their strong excitement about "always this", and then tell them "never been like this".
03. The outbreak and reconciliation of old traditions between men and women
After Jin Zhiying coaxed her daughter to sleep, she would sit on a bench on the balcony, looking at the sun silently, and letting go of a tired smile. She looked lonely. She felt at peace with her husband. When my daughter is together, she is happy, but she always finds it hard to breathe.

She remembered her childhood dream, writing novels and becoming a writer, so she chose to major in Chinese at university, and later entered an advertising company. Although she was far from her dream, she liked the job. Is
realizing self-worth in the workplace or confined to the kitchen? Does it treat the child's husband as the heavens like a mother and mother's mother, or to live like an independent individual? There are two villains in Jin Zhiying's mind who are seeing her, one speaks out, the other speaks back.
In the end, Jin Zhiying broke out in the way of "tearing herself" and . When confronted with oppression, she became someone else and expressed her resentment under the guise of others.
Jin Zhiying's aunts
Jin Zhiying's mother, when she was a teenager, gave up school work for her brothers. After marriage, she gave up her dream of being a teacher, and she devoted herself to raising her children, silently bearing the grievances of her elder aunt.
, a person who has been here all her life, was awakened by her daughter. She threw away the tonic her husband bought for her son. She yelled at her husband that her daughter should be the one to be cared for, not the strong son.
After the women chose to compromise, the calmness of the lake was just a virtual image, and the bottom of the lake was a wave of waves ready to go. Jin Zhiying broke out, and his mother broke out too. This is a frontal contest against compromise and abandonment of compromise.
The firecrackers lit by the woman blew up the men who were sleeping sweetly. Are they panicking? They were very panicked and had to wake up from their dreams. Jin Zhiying's husband is a new man who began to face women and rebelled against old traditions.
Husband no longer uses words to sympathize with his wife, nor does he worry about his wife in his heart. He begins to take on the responsibilities of the husband and father in his family attributes. Taking care of children is no longer a woman's one-man show. Jin Zhiying's husband began to take the children to school, allowing Jin Zhiying to return to her social attributes-a working person.
