今天到电影院里看了这部片子
Watched this film in the theaters today
其实我还是很喜欢这部片子的 主要因为这部片子似乎也没有过多的玛丽苏也没有过多的鸡汤，反倒像一个indie 片子。
I think I actually liked the film, especially because it wasn’t too romantic in its ideals and didn’t force inspirational quotes down the audience’s throat. It actually kind of seemed like an indie film.
但其实我最想讨论的，不是这部片子的各种剧情角色或者演员，而是这个片子隐含的主题。这个片子讲的是几个男孩子去花样游泳，在这个被女性领头的运动中展露自己的本领，打破一切看不起他们的想法，证明了男孩子也可以花游。
But the thing I really want to talk about isn’t the storyline or the actors or the characters. I want to talk about a theme. The film tells the story of boys who want to compete in synchronized swimming, trying to make it in a predominantly female sport. They defeat all those who didn’t believe them, and proved that boys can do synchronized swimming just like girls.
神奇的事，这部以男性为主角的片子似乎是一部女权片子。女权是什么，是平权。而从男生身上讲这个故事也告诉了观众：性别歧视 性别定义 本就不是单纯的伤害一个性别的问题。当社会对女孩子下定义的时候，也没有忘记对男孩子进行捆绑，没有忘记伤害男孩子。女权追求的从来不是女性至上，而是平等。
The funny thing is, the film may be about boys, but it seems more like a feminist film. Feminism is about equal rights. This story, told from a boy’s point of view, tells the audience, whether it’s sexism or gender stereotypes, it doesn’t just harm girls. When society chooses to put girls in boxes, it is also at the same time making expectations for boys. Feminism was never about matriarchal society; it has always been about equality.
不是男孩子该有男孩子的样，不是女孩子该有女孩子的样。男孩子喜欢花游，女孩子喜欢橄榄球，这一切一切都不过是我们作为人在享受人生，在追求梦想。“阳刚之气”“阴柔之美”都只不过是词语，而词语不应该有性别，就像运动和生活不应该有性别一样。
Boys don’t need to be masculine, girls don’t need to be feminine. Boys can like synchronized swimming, girls can like football, all of this is nothing more than us as humans enjoying our lives, fighting for our dreams. Masculinity and feminist are nothing more than words, and words shouldn’t have gender, just like sports and life shouldn’t either.
虽然这部电影并没有正面讨论这些，但是它给大众看到了男孩子也可以敏感哭泣，也可以干大众认为是“女性化”的事情，一点也不妨碍他们成为积极健康的少年。就像女孩子也可以理性冷静，也可以做“男性化”的事情，照样成为快乐努力的少年。
Even though the film doesn’t actually explicitly say this, but it gave audiences a chance to see boys cry and be sensitive, see boys do things considered traditionally “feminine,” and none of it impacting how they become optimistic, healthy youths. Just like girls can be rational and calm under fire, can do traditionally “masculine” things, and still become happy, hard working youths.
