142 Words1 Pages
Maries I and II are two women created with extra drops of craziness and cleverness. The two girls use their sex appeal to attract lines of wealthy men. Whereas the wealthy men think money will buy women. However, both genders are just manipulating each other. In the film, Daisies by Vera Chytilova, the two protagonists, Maries I and II, deconstructs the societal norms on the female image by over exaggerating performances that women should not do. Additionally, Daisies portrays an act of anti-establishment by scheming rich, authoritative men into submission, while showing kindness from the working class, who reminds Maries I and II about morals. The contrast of the class division and societal hierarchy are reversed in Maries I and II viewpoints.
