Finished "Morning News" in two days
Episodes 8-10 are shocking (I just wanted to make a card for the drama, and then some didn't write so much...)
The in-depth interpretation of Hannah's character in the last few episodes also makes the first half of her oversensitive to her colleague's workplace romance justified. The high-energy ending of the last episode, the reason for the collapse of tears is very complicated...
In fact, in an environment where metoo is prevalent and even abused, the theme of this drama is very fitting at first glance, but it is not new. "Battle of the Bone" has interpreted the judgments of men and women on "you love and I will" in different cases, as well as the issue of sexual misconduct in the workplace from many angles. As a legal drama, "The Bone" tries its best to give different groups of people the opportunity to express their views from every possible angle. But the difference is that the entire drama of "Morning News" revolves around the incident of the anchor Mitch's workplace sexual harassment, and step by step from the attitude of all the characters involved in the incident towards the incident, as well as each character's attitude towards the incident itself It plays a role in analysing how the general environment makes this phenomenon acceptable by default. That's something different and marvelous.
At first glance at episode 8, I thought it was just a simple recollection to compare how Mitch was treated differently before and after the event. But when I saw the second half of this episode, Hannah's encounter was too real, and when the rights and positions were not equal, under shock and panic, it was impossible to roughly judge "willingness and approval" based on "no immediate rejection". This episode is so important! I'll watch this episode later. When Hannah discovered Claire and Yanko's relationship, she was alone in the hotel, taking drugs (in fact, she was thinking about her experience in Las Vegas at this time), and then reported to the personnel to protect Claire. I hope my friends experience similar misfortunes as me. Hannah is complicated because what happened to her is also because of the way the other characters in the event reacted. The first time Mitch asked her to anonymously expose that Fred acquiesced and condoned sexual harassment in the workplace, she did not immediately refute Mitch's accusation of taking advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top (but it was clear that when Mitch was exposed, Fred was directly promoted to settle things) She did not explain. When Brad just contacted her and wanted to know the whole story, she didn't show the victim's grievance, but was confused and helpless about the multi-party entanglement. Until the official conversation with Brad, recalling the Las Vegas incident, Hannah broke down even after a few years...she asked Brad "what else do you need to know? Am I thinking about this every day? Every day Hundreds of times? This thing defines how others see me? I asked for it?" Is this a satire on Brad, yes, but also Hannah's real thoughts and feelings... The setting of drug use may also be Hannah's desire to escape this Paths of experience...
The premise of being violated, harassed, and defined is the subjective unwillingness of the victim. As long as it is against subjective will, no matter how different the degree of aggression, the impact of the experience itself on the victim is an irreversible and long-lasting psychological trauma. There is one thing that has actually passed for many years. I think women are sensitive, and they are aware of changes in the outside world's attitude towards them, especially the opposite sex. Some actions exceed the acceptable range of the original relationship, and the psychological discomfort will be clearly manifested. About three or four years ago, without describing his identity, he accidentally slapped me on the thigh, a touch that I have never had in my relationship with this person, nor any reason to have. The shock came earlier than the feeling of being violated, and the physical nausea slowly followed. Is this a small thing, it doesn't seem like it's really big, and if it happened to someone other than myself, I might also say nothing. However, it was such a "little thing" that tortured me for nearly half a year. During that time, I would think about it from time to time, and then the nausea that came to my heart, accompanied by humiliation and anger, and regretted why I didn't slap me back at that time. Even dreamed about that person more than once, then ruined the next few days and continued to be mentally nauseous. If I were to say I was too sensitive, there was nothing I could do, there was nothing I could do to change my understanding of unacceptable behavior, and there was nothing I could do to change my true feelings about external stimuli. Even thinking about it now, it's still the same discomfort.
Over the years, a lot of things have happened, and I understand more and more about others and myself that in many things, without personal experience, there is no right to speak. We sometimes try to experience, try to understand the position of others, but no matter how hard we try, we can't change it. You are not him/her, and you will never truly understand their situation or feelings. So, probably last November, after the depression period ended, I started to sort myself out in this way: I stopped speculating on other people's positions, and I stopped underestimating other people's pain. There has never been any unreasonable feeling, and my incomprehension is not the reason why others seem absurd, it is just that I have not seen enough.
