    I found that most people think this is a female movie, and they feel what women want. I am surprised that I don't feel this way at all. Is it because we were born in Shanghai and raised as boys since we were young? If you want to earn the same amount as men, why do men never regard Shanghai women as women? I think this is a very real working class struggle movie, much more real than our main...

    Worth a look. For me, who studies action sociology, I feel a lot more. A successful social movement is inseparable from the social background, leaders, and active participation and support of the public at that time. In conclusion, the road to equality and democracy is hard...the movie is...

    I have seen very few Sally Hawkins films, but I have liked her very much since I watched "Fingersmith". It's not beautiful at first glance, but the acting is quite good, and it's pleasing to the eye. The few words she yelled at her husband in the film are believed to make many women wake up from a dream. What they have worked so hard for is what they deserve, isn't...

    I was just so excited that the movie couldn't be properly identified. Hawkins is really good but a bit "too" good, overly "good...

    Young women, go see Made In Dagenham (spoiler)

    I argued with a foreign friend yesterday. In his opinion, China should recognize same-sex marriage (the United Kingdom recognizes partnership).
    I said, it takes time, in Eastern society, it takes time.

    Coincidentally, I watched the movie Made In Dagenham in the evening. Children born in the 1980s...

    What does a woman want most

    What does a woman want most? Beautiful? money? Or love? ? In the British industrial town of Dagenham, all women have fought so hard to fight for is wage equality.

    Just as it is hard for foreigners to imagine that Chinese women had to bind their feet 100 years ago, if it weren't for this movie, I...

Made in Dagenham quotes

  • [Albert is being accused by his union of scuppering other negotiations with management by supporting the women's equal-pay strike]

    Bartholomew: As a union we have to remember who comes first. The Communist Party. And Marx himself said "Men write their own history". That's "men", Albert.

    Albert Passingham: But didn't he also say "Progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex"? Or was that a different Marx? That was Groucho, was it?

    [Bartholomew is lost for words]

    Albert Passingham: Equal pay across the board. You telling me that ain't worth fighting for? Of course it is, and you know it. I'll tell you something. This Rita has got a bigger set of balls than you three put together. And she ain't scared to lay 'em on the line, neither. And I for one am gonna help her. And if you are what you say you are, an organisation pledged to support its members, then you'll get off your lazy fat arses and you'll help her too. Good fucking evening.

    [Albert walks out of the office]

  • [Rita gives an impromptu speech at the trade union conference]

    Rita O'Grady: My best friend lost her husband recently. He was a gunner in the 50 Squadron in the RAF. Got shot down one time, on a raid to Essen. And even though he was badly injured, he managed to bail out. I asked him why he joined the RAF, and he said "Well, they've got the best women, haven't they?"

    [audience laughs]

    Rita O'Grady: And then he said "Well, you've got to do something, haven't you? You had to do something, that was a given. Cos it was a matter of principle. You had to stand up. You had to do what was right. Cos otherwise you wouldn't be able to look at yourself in the mirror." When did that change, eh? When did we, in this country, decide to stop fighting? I don't think we ever did. But you've got to back us up. You've got to stand up with us. *We* are the working classes - the men *and* the women. We're not separated by sex, but only by those who are willing to accept injustice and those like our friend George who are prepared to go into battle for what is right. And equal pay for women *is* right.
