sgoonan11 Review of My Sweet Little Village

My Sweet Little Village (1985)

would give 10 stars except for the portrayal of some degeneracy in a positive light

[6/10 · 18 October 2019]

As said in another review in a positive way as well, "the girls no longer wear bras and there's flirting, drunkenness, infidelity". This is nothing but degeneracy and while it is a fact that it has taken over even in small villages like the one portrayed in the film, I believe that it should not be celebrated. There were some very strong feminist undertones in the film surrounding the young female characters, whether it was celebrating women dressing immodesty, a woman cheating on her husband, and a woman mocking a young man who was pursuing her to the point that he attempted suicide while she pursued casual with another random man. Made me really sad to see those parts, otherwise it was a great movie that celebrates life in a rural small village.
