In "The Broken Hearts Club of Wicked Women," the creators produce interviews with classic female villains from fairy tales, aiming to go beyond the stereotype of evil and reveal their lesser-known sides, such as feminine strength, nuanced emotions, and resistance to societal systems.
In other words, this is a series of "（Chinese，洗白）whitewash videos." The distortion and misuse of the term "whitewash" reflect the growing polarization in current social discourse, where people tend to prefer simple, black-and-white narratives.
This work combines many typical simple narratives, including those related to gender, good and evil, emotions, and cultural differences, constructing "whitewash" stories through the form of mock interviews and mock documentaries.
The choice of fairy tale characters is deliberate, as they are often symbolic and objectified. However, many times, we tend to handle the real world in an even simpler manner than fairy tales.
