Watch "Never Compromise"

I was fortunate enough to watch this film through the opportunity of the school broadcast. A classic movie doesn't care about its age, whether it is famous or not, but its spiritual core, whether it can be inspiring performance, or whether it is ironic stimulation, or plain narrative. "Never Compromise" tells the story of a civil lawsuit for water pollution in Hinkley, California, USA. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Masri and his assistant Erin Blokovic, Pacific Gas and Electric eventually had to pay 600 local residents $333 million for supplying drinking water containing carcinogens.

"Female" is a term that cannot be underestimated. In this film, it portrays a woman who rises up from the pit of misfortune, faces the pressure of life and work, and pursues justice. Divorced twice, going bankrupt, looking for a job in the newspaper, and looking for a job after many twists and turns. Although she was not born in a class, with her faith in justice and a cautious attitude, she has also done a good job in her profession, which made her boss sigh.

There is a line in the film: "Fuck you!" "Fuck you back!" Not only is the heroine's response to the boss's bad mood, but also the courage to not admit defeat and dare to challenge.

Although the film was released in 2000, it still has great educational and motivational significance for today's women. It shouldn't be the dodder flower that lives on the disk symbol in the romance novel, nor the bird that repeats the monotonous song for the green shade. Just as the heroine faced her boyfriend's questioning about her work and family, she said that she loves this job, and it is this job that can earn the respect she has never received before. People can exude the greatest self-confidence in the fields they are familiar with and good at. Because of this job, I avoided the picture of revolving around children, and I have the confidence to dare to challenge the negotiators of large companies, and I have a stronger self later. Be your best self without fear of others.

I thought it was a virtual character before, but I learned later that there really is a prototype of this lady. She also has the burden of children and is facing financial pressure. In her own film review, she mentioned that the character similarity is 98%.

In addition, when legal workers help vulnerable groups to defend their rights, their rich legal expertise is not the most powerful capital. More importantly, they must have the spirit of "death struggle" and "people-oriented" humanistic care that is not afraid of any difficulties. Spirit, which is also the connotation of this film.
