The popularity of this year's movie Barbie has sparked discussions about the power game between the sexes. In the movie, whether all women are in power or all men are in power, neither society seems ideal, nor is it fair to the other party..In fact, this year, there is another movie that also explores the power game between the sexes in the workplace. It is also unfolded from the perspective of a couple, but it uses a suspense film format. It was well received at the Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival.It's Fair Play, which will be released in the United States on September 29th.This film is also produced by a female filmmaker. Screenwriter and director Chloe Domont recently attended an online press conference and talked about the original intention of the film.
The protagonists of the story are Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich), a couple who work at the Wall Street Stock Trading Office in New York.The couple, who are thriving and deeply in love with each other, live together in a New York apartment and are engaged.But because of company regulations, colleagues are not allowed to fall in love, so the two have been hiding their relationship in the company.When a senior executive position opened up, Luke thought he would get a chance to be promoted, but Emily was unexpectedly appreciated by her boss and got the position, and has since become Luke's leader.Originally, Luke wanted to support Emily, but there were constant rumors in the company that Emily was favored by her boss because she had an affair with her boss.The relationship between the two took a turn for the worse and came to an irreversible end.
The film shows the toxic workplace environment of Wall Street financial companies through a couple who work together.Especially for women, in a job with such intensity and pressure, they have to compete with many men, and it is often impossible to escape the mire without getting stained. Moreover, they may be stigmatized and taken advantage of, making it difficult to gain the respect of their peers.trust.The film fully demonstrates the unspeakable experiences of women in the workplace through the comparison before and after Emily's promotion.Although Emily was promoted based on her own strength, in order to survive in this position, she broke her own principles and even did many stupid things.At the same time, the film also uses her fiancé to show the jealousy and vulnerability of men after their self-esteem is hurt, which is a fatal blow to a relationship.
Screenwriter and director Chloe Dormont said at the press conference of the film that the film does not only choose the perspective of the heroine, but hopes to show the difficulties of women in the workplace, but also the social pressure faced by men, and explore love.How to reduce conflicts between the sexes in relationships and the workplace.She does not hope to draw a conclusion through this film. Instead, she hopes that the process of the disintegration of this love relationship will make people think about the weaknesses in human nature and the problems in gender relations, and try to find solutions.She said: "I think female viewers and male viewers will have different standpoints after watching this film. They should think from their own perspective and then think from another perspective."“ She also highly recommends couples to watch the film together. Even if they quarrel after watching it, this is exactly what the film hopes to achieve: to trigger debate and provoke thinking.
Dormont was originally a TV drama director, and this is her big-screen debut. She said: ”In fact, people in the film and television industry also have strong self-esteem, arrogance and great work pressure. The story can be set up in Hollywood., but I hope to write about some areas that I am usually unfamiliar with, and use this opportunity to research and expand my knowledge.I have friends who work in the financial industry, so I know that the competition there is also very strong. A decision may lead to losses or profits of millions, and it can also change a person's career direction. So in this kind of workplace environment, a relationship willbe tested even more.%
The director was very keen to explore lesser-known actors with potential, so he found Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich to star.The outstanding performances of the two also added a lot to the film, fully showing the states of a pair of lovers at different stages from falling in love to indifference, suspicion, and then to the breakdown of the relationship.
Dormont praised the performance of the two actors for making the climax of the last 20 minutes even more exciting, which ultimately made the audience sweat, creating a thrilling and suspenseful effect.She said: “At this time, the two people who once loved each other finally stopped covering up and chose to show off, which eventually led to a fierce quarrel and things began to get out of control. No one knew how they would end in the end.”
While watching, one really feels the film transforming from a romance to a horror film, and the couple's out-of-control relationship is easily reminiscent of Johnny Depp's tumultuous divorce.and Amber Heard.The two divorced due to domestic violence during their marriage. The divorce battle lasted for several years. In the end, both parties' careers suffered a devastating blow.This film also shows some rape and domestic violence scenes that are very difficult to judge. Even if the audience witnesses it with their own eyes, it is difficult to tell right from wrong, let alone in real life, most of the time such situations occur.There are no bystanders or evidence.Through these hopes, the film shows people the complexity of intimate relationships between the sexes and the various chaotic and out-of-control situations that may arise during the breakdown process. It can also remind more people in love how to control their emotions.
Director Rian Johnson, famous for "Knives Out" and good at suspense films, attended the film's press conference and praised Dormont's script. He said he was looking forward to seeing how male and female audiences react to the film.of different responses and debates.《Barbie》and《Fair Play》Although the genres are completely different, they both explore the way of getting along between the sexes through the power game between the sexes, which is very appropriate in the post-Metoo% era.
