Polanski-style sexual trauma.

In a patriarchal society where you have to admit that women are disadvantaged in every way, in terms of power, work, etc., in many cases women are forced into a state of silence in the face of injustice, a silence that is not only spontaneous but also ignored, a kind of law of silence in a patriarchal society.

The mute woman is raped twice on the same day, once by a masked stranger in an alley, and again by a thief when she returns home, unable to make a sound, unable to scream, and finally killing the thief as he climaxes and discarding his body in pieces, leaving behind his pistol. From then on, the gun becomes her voice, from self-defence to murder, and the pistol that gives her voice reminds me of Sigourney Weaver, the sexually abused woman in Polanski’s “Death and the Maiden (1994)”. “If I didn’t have a gun in my hand, you wouldn’t even listen to me,” says Weaver to her husband. Clearly, it's a declaration that doesn't mean what it says.

The jobless young man who stalked the mute, the male photographer who accosted her, the middle-aged black man who assaulted his female companion, and so on, are all killed. The mute woman, previously simple and gentle, uses heavy make-up and fondling to actively arouse men’s sexual desire and possessiveness, until the final massacre at the ball, where the mute woman in her nun’s costume replaces God’s judgment on men’s original sin, completely sinfulizing men’s sexual desire and turning her into indiscriminate killing maniacs, the female version of the Punisher’s story completely loses its moral support and turns into a psychotic killing game, from revenge to revenge and becomes a complete sociopath.
