Abstract

tarting from the status and intimate relationship of contemporary women, the paper analyzes the inverted relationship between husband and wife through a comparative analysis of the French film “Anatomy of A Fall” and the Chinese film “Feng Shui”, thus dissecting the influence of social and cultural differences between China and the West on women and intimate relationship. In the paper, it’s found that the similarities between “Anatomy of A Fall” and “Feng Shui” lie in the reversed gender roles of husband and wife and the selfless dedication of mother to son; whereas the differences cover the unique Chinese concept of “feng shui”, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship between mother and son, and women’s family concepts. Through the analysis of similarities and differences, it’s observed in the paper that the development of feminism in China and the west varies from each other due to the socio-cultural influence. This paper bears practical significance in studying the differences between Chinese and Western feminism.
