14.The role of women in the entertainment industry is more important today than ever-and we don't need International Women's Day to remind us.Directors have made films that focus on particular female characters.
Albert Nobbs:a damaged woman in an age of men (From film---Albert Nobbs)
It might be politically incorrect to say that"it's a man's world".But in the film Albert Nobbs,you'll see what it means.Based on a short story by George Moore,an Irish novelist,the film tells the story of Albert Nobbs,a woman passing herself as a man in 19th century Ireland.She has short hair,and a voice that rarely rises above a nasal (鼻音的) croak.She lives and works as a waiter in a hotel,where she stands with lips pressed together and only her eyes move.
The character is the personification (化身) of fear-fear of being discovered to be a woman.Because her society is a society that treats all poor people badly,and poor women worse.
Mavis Gary:a perfection of being pretty and mean (From film-Young Adult)
In the comedy Young Adult,Charlize Theron portrays Mavis Gary,a 30-something narcissistic(自恋的) beauty.Mavis was the ball queen when in high school,and now a decade into life on her own,she's still pretty,still mean and hasn't quite as grown up as people around her want her to be.She spends her days writing young adult novels,and her nights making the club scene,drinking,playing around.
The film describes how she knows the idea that she may need to make changes if she ever wants to be happy.
Ah Tao:a role model of lifetime's hard work (From film-A Simple Life)
A Simple Life,the latest work from Hong Kong experienced director Ann Hui,reunites superstar Andy Lau with his real-life godmother Deanie Ip.
The story centers on the bond between the old servant Ah Tao (Ip) and master Roger (Lau).Ah Tao has served Roger's family for 60 years.When Ah Tao's health starts to get worse,it's Roger's turn to do the looking-after.The film is a tender ode(颂歌)to the elderly,their caregivers,and the mutual generosity of spirit that makes their limited time together worthwhile.
Wallis Simpson:a drop-dead gorgeous fairytale heroine (From film-W.E.)
W.E.is pop singer Madonna's second go at directing a film.It's primarily a woman's story-a historical drama built around the romance of Wallis Simpson,for whom King Edward VIII gave up the British throne in 1936,in order to marry.
In the film,the character of Wallis Simpson is an example of a woman who causes"the downfall"of a king.She is a helpless romantic-who thinks all it takes for a woman to feel fulfilled is the love of a good man.
