Reflections of the Soul: A Cinematic Trilogy of Forceful WomenThe Assassin, the Writer, and the Worker
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: When the film and television work in the form of a "big heroine" appears, it is known that a strong female image; the woman at the peak of life, even at the top of the world, is shaped as a "sense of power woman". But the life logic of these women, the ruling logic, and the fundamental victory of the narrative logic battle can all be attributed to the space of male logic. Therefore, the representation of women's sense of power in the films and documentaries examined by the author today does not involve women who merely simulate strength through male narrative logic. Instead, it focuses on women who authentically follow their own realities. These are women who are secretive and composed assassins, talented writers, and resilient workers. They are allowed to be emotionally vulnerable, have the right to make their own choices, and genuinely embody a sense of power.
