The Interpretation of Women's Discourse in the Movie "Flipped" via the Lens of Eco-Feminism

Abstract

The novel by Wendelin Van Draanen with the same name serves as the inspiration for the film Flipped . The film portrays the nostalgic emotions between young boys and girls as it narrates a young and lovely love story in America in the early 1960s. At the same time, the film also features the writer's thoughts and consideration of societal contents underlying the development of the natural environment and the image of women. Feminism embodies both the resistance of the underprivileged and the symbol of good nature. As the foundation, this paper explored how well the natural world shaped women's social consciousness and discoursed from the perspective of eco-feminism. Additionally, the paper also discusses the impact of environmental factors that contributed to the film's vivid environmental episodes, pays close attention to the struggles of the female supporting characters in the context of the times, and emphasizes how the environment and even the discourse of women are oppressive. Its statement of the notion that nature and women are linked and mutually reinforcing also provides a fresh viewpoint on the investigation of how women are portrayed in culture. The patriarchal environment's ideas of duality and hierarchical division have been turned on its head.
