Abstract

The film, I'm not Madame Bovary, is directed by Feng Xiaogang, a famous director. Fan Bingbing acts the leading role. This film tells the story of Li Xuelian, an ordinary peasant woman faking divorce in order to have an additional baby and get the house distributed by her husband's work unit. However, a false thing becomes true. Her husband takes advantage of the fake divorce and abandons her. What's more, she is humiliated and called Madame Bovary by her husband in public. New and old hatred arouses Li Xuelian's new fury and she starts her long "suing" career. Superficially speaking, I'm not Madame Bovary tells the story of a woman's "difficult rights protection" road. In fact, the film exposes and criticizes citizen's poor legal consciousness, lack of legal knowledge, social apathy, law-enforcement personnel's stiff manner and other in-depth social phenomena.
