      Workplace inspirational film 80s workplace dressing experience

      In the workplace inspirational film in the 1980s, the heroine Tess has no education (5 years of evening school to get a bachelor's degree), older (30 years old), unwilling to be mediocre, and unwilling to be unspoken. She has a strong motivation and ambition. She met a female boss who was the same age as her (actually a few months younger) but was already successful in her career. She was even more motivated. She seized the opportunity and decided to take a gamble. She did not follow the rules...

      Director said

      "Working Girl" is a veritable "female film". The ancient and beautiful story of Cinderella in the famous fairy tale "Cinderella" has once awakened the dreams of many lower-class women in the world who have been sleeping for many years! They look forward to the day when they can put on a pair of golden shoes to get rid of their predicament, set foot on the upper class society they dream of, throw themselves into the arms of a prince charming, and live a carefree life from then on. In 1980,...

      Hard work + mind + keenness = break through class constraints

      Effort + Mind + Sensitivity = Breakthrough of class constraints. Just like the title, what the whole film radiates is exactly the mythical power that all sentient beings need to break through class constraints.

      On the current China, just like the United States in the 1980s, the class and ranks were rapidly solidified. Many young people from the middle and low yields did not have superior congenital conditions. After graduating from college, they were buried in the crowd, and they lived...

      "Working Girl" full of fancy styles

      After more than 20 years, I watched "Working Girl" (also translated "Working Girl"), and still laughed at the female secretary Daisy, played by the sexy actress Milanni Griffith, and worried about her from time to time. Way out. The film was shot in 1988, when the New York landmark "Gemini" was still there. At that time, these gangsters, who kept jumping from their nests, were working in an open-plan office on a certain floor of the "World Trade Center".

    Movie plot

    Daisy ( Melanie Griffith ) is a female secretary. At work, her shrewdness and intelligence are not lost to her male colleagues, but because she rejected her boss's non-discriminatory request that is almost "sexual harassment" , The capable Daisy was removed from her post, which is equivalent to demoted.
    Catherine ( Sigourney Weaver ) is Daisie’s new boss. She is kind-hearted on the surface, but insidious and greedy behind her back. Not...
