A woman's secret: Love is your weakness, power is your flaw.

This is a movie that makes women depressed.
very depressed.
Although the script is too plain.


Feminism is a very delicate word.
It's not about rights, it's about women's rights.
The question is: where do women's rights come from and by what?


The answer is self-evident and sad.
The right depends on the affirmation and grant of the other party, and the weakness of the right, caters to its own state.
Another question is: Why can't women de facto define their rights?


The reason cannot be explained in detail. From a female perspective, maybe we are too obsessed with love and too indifferent to power.
Those who love and do not love fall into the abyss; those who love and cannot protect can only be forgotten in the rivers and lakes; and those who love children and young girls need to sacrifice themselves to accompany them all their lives. And love is not worth survival, let alone power.


If you want to be a victim, you can.
Many women work hard, or become strong women, or become a family of men.
However, not only is there almost no one who can play the above two roles at the same time, but more importantly: in our hearts, we only long for equal, sincere, and full gender exchanges.
Not a negotiation, not a deal, not a tool, not a pet.
This is the secret voice of a woman.

    Not bad, but not good enough, 3 stars is too low, 4 stars is slightly higher. Love is the main thread, history is just a foil

    The price of success is abandonment and restraint. And an aristocrat never seems to be free. The Duchess sacrificed her love for the child, but later when the Duke held her hand and tried to express his apology and efforts, all the joys and sorrows had actually been washed away.
