marriage is inspirational

As a native Chinese, the closest moment to the title of Mrs Thatcher was in the year of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, which was publicized by the big newspapers and tabloids—Facing such an Iron Lady, our grandfather Deng was small and ambitious. On the Hong Kong issue, he did not give in at all and adhered to principles, and conquered the British Prime Minister, who was known for his toughness. The expectation from the movie poster is her clean and sharp eyes and her political career. But the opening scene is a scene of an old British lady wearing a scarf and hunched over, dragging her feet on a busy street in Siyi. She was carrying a jug of milk in her hand, and no one would have thought that this old woman who even looked a little shivering had once. Sometimes I imagine that when I get old, there are wrinkles on my face, and my body is bloated and loose, and the lines on the skin exude an old-fashioned smell. Margaret, the daughter of a grocery store owner who devoted herself to studying in Girls' Generation, her eyes were piercing with the desire to change her country, making this very ordinary-looking girl exude a temperament that Daniel couldn't refuse. . In the film, Daniel proposes a marriage vow that every unmarried woman should ponder - "I love you so much but I will never be one of those women, Denis, who stay silence and pretty on the arm of her husband, or remote and alone in the kitchen, doing the washing up for that matter. One's life must matter, Denis. Beyond the cooking and the cleaning and the children, one's life must mean more than that! I cannot die washing up a tea cup. I mean it, Denis. Say you understand.”. (“That’s why I want to marry you, my dear.
Therefore, I think this film, to a large extent, should be regarded as a model of biography of women. It at least made me think about what choices and considerations a woman should make in the face of dreams, marriage, life, and age.
For those political celebrities who were in high positions and retired, such as former US President Bill Clinton, he wrote the book "My Life", and then his rather sharp-looking wife often appeared in the public eye, it seems that it has never been forgotten. And Mrs Thatcher, who we never knew, had Oppenheimer's, and her life seemed almost a little bit fragmented. Audiences who criticized the film said the film itself was too trivial. But I just feel that this kind of formal memory and reality, which seems like a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, can only be reminiscent of the film through the comparison between the past and the present. Biographical films are never as refreshing as action films, especially, a person's old age is mostly long and boring, even for a politician with countless honors. It may take memories to support the morning and evening every day, and the person who needs to accompany you all your life will be by your side. For children, I long to be by my side all the time, and feel the love and admiration given by them, so that I feel that someone is still relying on me in this life. They are probably more frightened than anyone of any age. Fear of life becoming more and more withering, fear of tossing and turning every night with soreness, fear of causing trouble for everyone including the children, fear that I can only recount the old events of ten or twenty years ago. At the age of eighty, Mrs Thatcher, after Daniel's death, thought he was still there, the husband who accompanied her when she was brilliant and bright, and the husband who supported her when she was in pain and unable to decide. In fact, no matter how desolate this situation is to outsiders, I still feel that even if it was an illusion, she was still as happy as a girl when Daniel was there. Ordinary people like me still feel that this moment actually has some kind of awkward happiness that slowly overflows from the screen.
Of course, the illusion will be shattered one day. Just as Mrs Thatcher has come to the present, she is just sitting upstairs with a hunched body, looking at people outside in a daze every day. If she hadn't had the experience of the British Prime Minister, there might not be so many people who felt that such a twilight and evening scene was so unbearable, but it still cannot be denied that the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a great woman. As the middle-aged woman said to her at a dinner party one day in the film, it inspired many people.

Ps. Just like what Oscar said, Aunt Mei's acting skills are superb and perfect. She saved the film.

The Iron Lady quotes

  • Margaret Thatcher: It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.

  • Alexander Haig: So you are proposing to go to war over these islands. They're thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if you'll excuse me.

    Margaret Thatcher: Just like Hawaii, I imagine.

    Alexander Haig: I'm sorry?

    Margaret Thatcher: 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Did America go cap in hand and ask Tojo for a peaceful negotiation of terms? Did she turn her back on her own citizens there because the islands were thousands of miles from mainland United States? No! No, no! We will stand on principle, or we shall not stand at all.

    Alexander Haig: But Margaret, with all due respect, when one has been to war...

    Margaret Thatcher: With all due respect, sir, I have done battle every single day of my life and many men have underestimated me before. This lot seem bound to do the same, but they will rue the day.
