也是对所处时代语境主流正确的一种迎合。
感谢雷德利，从异形到末路狂花再到本片，一直致力于女性电影的发展。
看完第三段视角才会发现前两段并没有任何废戏且嘲讽拉满，前两段交织成相互对抗却又不可分割地铺垫成一幅奉行至今的有毒的男权图景，尚和贾的每一句互文台词都是相互羞辱，到第三段以女主的视角出发则是彻底戳破最后一层遮羞布，连带着各路主动的或被驯化的帮凶，这就是从古至今的女性生存空间。多么经典的老实人与万人迷啊，身在其中才会看得咬牙切齿地笑出来，最后谁输谁赢都不重要，执着于所谓谜题正是当下助纣为虐的看客们的热衷所为，毕竟在被摆上生育与嫁妆的天平的时候她就已经注定没有活路，那样的结局则是不幸中的大幸。虽然说对于Ridley Scott这样的大导来说早已不必说这种话，但看的时候还是忍不住感叹这个机位摆得是真好啊。
PS:今天是雷德利·斯科特84岁生日🎂
難看，看了個寂默，女權可以用別的方式呈現，用睡好友老婆的方式，真的太爛。
影片从卡鲁日母亲告诉玛格丽特自己也曾被强奸时才正式开始。从三人不同角度陈述的罗生门式的“玛格丽特是否被强奸”的故事提到了女性发声的高度。最后卡鲁日在决斗中胜利不仅赢回了脸面，也是长久以来一直被“强奸”的女性对强权的一次胜利。
喜欢就是《罗生门》，讨厌就是《金刚川》，还不错，有表达，有反思，朱迪·科默这两年好火！
女权饮下了这碗春药，男人收获了嘲讽。
在恢宏历史背景下，围绕一棕男女之事而展开的大故事，由此可窥彼时欧洲的社会现实。有意思的是：在中世纪，欧洲男人之间通过决斗来解决纠纷，日本也类似，为毛中国古代就没有呢？
是一部优秀的女权电影，但不是一部好看的商业电影
划重点：Chapter3—妻子视角。原以为雷导要拍中世纪版《角斗士》，没想到拍的是中世纪《末路狂花》。向雷老Salute！
当然肯定没罗生门在视听上开创意义大，肯定也没角斗士或者天国王朝那么宏大，很多视听也很旧，但是这种雷德利斯科特永远都知道怎么抓人，永远忘不了在上影节看末路狂花现场有多嗨，谁能想象这片子在大银幕放会怎么样
本来看了卡司（主要是 Jodie Comer）和题材（中世纪 me too）就觉得只要不糊就谢天谢地了，结果居然这么完美。三段式 POV 式叙事把控得丝毫不无聊，刻意强调的不同视角把情绪与诉求表达得恰到好处，尤其是前两段的男性视角和第三段稍有些慢热的女性视角相辅相成自然地带入让人咬牙切齿又拍案叫绝。更何况中世纪末期神权重压下马上要喘息的人性时代的各个仪式、道具和伪善都表现得非常到位。pandemic 来首次回归 AMC 这万年老粉的陈年 reward 换的观影体验太值了。
试听艺术很有特色，但叙述视角跟叙述内容是分裂的，例如，男二要证明自己并非强奸犯，却偏偏讲述自己聚众淫乱等劣迹，女一要证明自己被强奸，却偏偏讲述自己夫妻生活不和谐、穿着暴露惹丈夫发怒等情节，不仅不合理，而且与主题无关。总之，这是个伪罗生门结构的故事，长达两个半小时，主题和内容却极其单薄简陋。评分虚高。
赌上所有捍卫真相，即使虚伪和暴力横行，这世界从不是你的世界，即使稍有不慎就会粉身碎骨，即使你周围没有同类只有男权的傀儡，即使没有人在乎胜利并不属于你。错就是错，罪恶就是罪恶，丑陋就是丑陋，你不是父亲的筹码、丈夫的财产、生育的机器，不是逆来顺受者，你该有思考、表达、捍卫尊严的权利。当你说不的时候，就是拒绝。
三个章节三个视角，每个部分在相同的故事上有不同的细节。虽然是男人之间的战斗，但女人才是戏眼，男人的胜负是荣耀，可没人在乎女人才是战斗背后真正应该被在乎的人。
（豆瓣真空期补标9月末-12月）3.5 并非“罗生门”，而是一部直观的女性电影。
如果这只是作为某篇相关权益报告中的用典尚可理解，但大费周章找一个七百多年前的经典一战来拍电影，只在「佐证」当下的这么一点价值观，真的很狭隘。既然都明晃晃地跟你说 the truth了，那还要什么三段，太看不起观众了吧？转场衔接宛若在看国产网大。除了女主外基本没有人物，国王形象也很刻板，嬉笑残忍仿佛照搬权游。自从听过分析中世纪室内戏打光问题后就特别在意，本片可以说还是太亮堂了。还有Pierre 老婆的孕肚，seriously ？不过好像在服化道方面，还有冷兵器geek得到快乐，也算没白拍。
虽然增加两个男性的视角会更加突出女主的困局，但这毕竟是发生在女性身上的事，单纯用女性视角也能很有力量的。现在的情况是既想以「罗生门」的立意开场，最终却往预设好了的方向走，不算高明，还显得片子臃肿冗长。
這種類似 羅生門 的故事，是需要高超的敘事技巧的，明顯 雷導演 沒有講好。
