Cultural Critique of a Hong Kong Christian
《血色攞命花》(Revenge)
Revenge (2017) appears to be a Rape/Revenge exploitative movie, but its aesthetics is not really cult, except for some blood spilling graphic scenes. The camera movement, montage, use of background music are quite refined. The rape scene is undertoned, and it is the male antagonist, instead of the female protagonist, who is naked. Unlike the routine of the subgenre, Revenge is not about a city girl attacked in an uncivilized place, but one attacked by her city fellows who are richer, more powerful and skilful -- in a no man's land. It can be read as a metaphor: the oppression of the female in modern society is not civilized at all, it is actually uncivilized even if the offender is richer, more powerful and intelligent. This interpretation helps explain why it is the man offender who is stripped naked at the end. /
