      equal protection on the basis of sex

      The movie was released at 12.25 North American time. I watched it in a theater on the Upper East Side of Manhattan the day after Christmas, and the audience was basically full of women. In fact, this movie review summary should be completed on the same day, but I didn't start it because I was lazy.

      This movie is basically on my list of the year's most watched movies, not because of how well filmed it is or how compelling the storyline is, but because it awakened my inner love...

      Not as good as the documentary "RBG"

      People who like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I recommend you to watch her documentary version Ruth Bader Ginsburg , don't hear the word "documentary" and feel bored, you will find that it is actually better than this version of the film It's too good to see: rich facts, precious historical footage, numerous parties and Ruth's personal statements, allowing you to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Ruth's legendary life. This film is basically based on facts, but it only captures...

      Are common law systems naturally more likely to motivate lawyers and judges to do critical construction work than civil law systems?

      1. This film should really be watched by young people who are struggling for no reason. Identifying problems, solving them, and changing society for the better is a set of American dreams. What is an ideal, what is a sense of achievement, what is true love, can be felt from Ruth's pursuit.

      2. The success of RBG has factors of the times. At that time, the equal rights of black songs were established in stages. It was a social trend that the word woman...

      Gender notions are but a product of the times

      Gender discrimination, as a bad habit that has been accumulated over many years, is the result of various economic, political, and cultural effects. Therefore, the change of ideas cannot be achieved overnight, and it will inevitably face the obstruction of power and the destruction of prejudice. Fortunately, the progress of the times has provided a breeding ground for the germination of the idea of ​​equal rights, and the increase in the penetration rate of education has allowed some of the...

      Mediocre or real?

      I admit to watching this movie and couldn't help but fast forward some clips like her emotional struggles. I thought that this was not the plot I was expecting, because her image in the workplace made her give me the impression of being so strong and brave that I forgot or even ignored her life. I don't know if there are so many shots for the family, whether the husband is wonderful enough, and whether it meets the expectations of most people, but, in fact, it makes her image more...

      In 1954, when the first version of the Constitution was enacted, "equality between men and women" was written into the article. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, my grandmother left her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's family to join the work and legally enjoys the rights conferred by the Constitution. A country that claims to be democratic, free and equal, yet still has to set up rules and regulations under these basic natural rights, it takes so much effort to correct...

      There is a kind of heroism in life, and it is this tradition that I refuse to accept, so I want to hammer it. Ruth is such a hero. The beginning is not as good as the end, the film is not as good as the related documentaries, and I look forward to reading her...

      I actually saw this movie on the day of RBG's death. The text introduction at the end of the film was still applicable yesterday. It's too late today. Obviously, the movie screening was scheduled last month. I bought a ticket last month. There is a godly arrangement of movies; starting with Ginsburg's first case on the Supreme Court, showing the beginning of her life and career, the case of choosing to sue the tax bureau can't be smarter, speaking for women, but from safeguarding The opening of...

      The movie is a bit flat, but RBG is a real female role model, and Felicity Jones does a great...

      After watching RBG's documentary and having a great impression of her husband, I found out that this role is actually played by Amy Hammer... This feels really ironic. The trial that was supposed to be a climax saw me build a house on my...

    Movie plot

    After the birth of their first child, Martin developed testicular cancer and likely would not graduate, so Ruth started taking...

    Evaluation action

    "On the Basis of Sex" takes the audience to understand the life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the film is quite satisfactory. But as the first film and television work about a pioneering life, it is still a bit disappointing. What is certain is that the perseverance and pioneering characteristics of this intelligent and charming legal pioneer are reflected in the film, and many scenes are thought-provoking. But the...
