In the past, female images in movies were always accompanied by male gaze, which was regarded as the carrier of male desire. With the spread of the “MeToo” movement (a global feminist social movement) around the world, it not only triggered extensive discussions in various fields such as politics, academia and culture, but also promoted the enhancement of female consciousness, and the female images in films also changed accordingly. Under the background of this era, this paper discusses that the female images in the female-themed film The Falls are based on the female perspective, and the mother-daughter relationship of spiritual exchange is used as the incision to truly express the difficulties women face in life. The Falls depicts the female images who grow up in difficulties and help each other, aiming to express that the awakening of female consciousness and the construction of female images complement each other in the film, they are based on women’s psychology and emotion, The awakening of female consciousness gives women more opportunities and courage to express themselves boldly, and at the same time gives more attention and encouragement to the difficulties faced by women.Keywords: Female-themed films · Female image · Mother-daughter relationship · Female consciousness
