      As long as there is a dream, it will come true

      A film about the feminist movement. As a representative of female workers, Rita performed very well. Women's tenacity, perseverance, perseverance, and finally victory - a bloody plot, although this is a true story. What impresses me about the film is its details. As sung at the end of the film: as long as there is a dream, it will come true. This is also an inspirational story. Who would have thought that 175 female workers wrote the beginning history of equal pay for equal work in the UK....

      Do we still have the strength to fight?

      The love is very attractive. The heroine does not look like a heartthrob at first glance, but her inner strength and tenacity are undoubtedly revealed in a cluster of frowns.
      I don't see it as a historical film, and I suggest that you don't compare it to the Celestial Dynasty, otherwise you will die of depression. The silent majority will never fight for fairness, let alone the courage to stick to what they think is right. People who are content with the status quo will never realize that...

      EVERYBODY,OUT

      The whole film is full of joyful atmosphere, happy music, happy costumes, and happy smiles. If you want to make a more bitter film, you can do it. Maybe you have a better chance of winning.

      The original name is "we want sex". In the first half of the strike slogan, when the banner in the film was not fully unfolded, this sentence was seen. The men who passed by on bicycles saw it and shouted "we wanna too". In this matter, men and women are still equal. This kind of title seems to...

      TY Musical for three consecutive years, this time is the victory of "men and women work together without getting tired"

      Your school is so awesome! ! ! !

      The theme chosen by TY Musical this year is really a complete Alex Talk style, and the last scene is very exciting. The heroine just memorized so many lines and I admired him so much. She sang the song well, and even acted so well. Alex was really talented. The male protagonist borrowed from the next school is really cool. The school next door will only pick up girls and play rugby's point of view, this old man has a nerd face but he does a good job...

      The road to earning respect is full of thorns, undercurrents, and traps

      Women have generally become independent and strong, which is also the result of the advancement of technology and material development in the past few decades.
      On the road of fighting for rights and earning respect, first of all, women must be really capable and have ideas, and secondly, they must be persistent and have faith.

      As susceptible as me, I cried again.

      The characters in it are interesting. Rita, Babara, Eddie... I think Eddie is a good man who loves...

      The female workers in the movie did not get angry or hysterical at ordinary people in the face of inequality, but directly fought with the relevant people to win back their own cakes from big companies. This may be the most rational and effective way to fight for rights. Compared with the various doctrines who only know nonsense and don't do something real, they are truly worthy of...

    And they did.
    British women are bold, handsome, strong and sexy. This is the temperament I feel in them in the movie. very attractive. Women should be proud of it and men should be lucky. Because there are such perfect creatures living around us.
    The plot of the film goes smoothly without any delay. I don't even know where to start recalling to write this article. In the inspirational struggle, all kinds of difficulties encountered are...

    Movie quotes

    • News Reporter 1: What if Mrs. Castle says "no deal"?

      News Reporter 2: How will you cope then?

      Rita O'Grady: Cope? How will we cope? We're women. Now, don't ask such stupid questions.

    • Eddie O'Grady: Christ, I like a drink, but I ain't out on the beer every night or screwin' other women, or... 'Ere, I've never once raised me hand to you. Ever. Or the kids.

      Rita O'Grady: Christ.

      Eddie O'Grady: What? Why are you looking like that?

      Rita O'Grady: Right. You're a saint now, is that what you're tellin' me, Eddie? You're a bleedin' saint? 'Cause you give us an even break?

      Eddie O'Grady: What are you saying?

      Rita O'Grady: That is as it should be. Jesus, Eddie! What do you think this strike's all been about, eh? Oh yeah. Actually you're right. You don't go on the drink, do ya? You don't gamble, you join in with the kids, you don't knock us about. Oh, lucky me. For Christ's sake, Eddie, that's as it should be! You try and understand that. Rights, not privileges. It's that easy. It really bloody is.

    • Albert Passingham: This dispute's got nothing to do with what skill level you are. Ford decided to give you less money because they can. They're allowed to pay women a lower wage than men. All over the country women are getting less because they're women. You'll always come second. You'll always be fighting over the scraps from the top table, until you...

      Rita O'Grady: Until we get equal pay, yeah.

      Albert Passingham: Yeah.

      Rita O'Grady: What I don't get is why it's so important to you.

      Albert Passingham: I got brought up by my mum. Me and me brothers. She worked all her life. And she paid my aunt Lil to take care of us during the day. And it was hard, especially as she was getting less than half than what the blokes at the factory was getting, for doing the same work. And there was never any question that it could be any different. Not for her. Someone has got stop these exploiting bastards getting away with what they've been doing for years. And you can, you can, Rita, believe me.
