We go on. We go on

It's been a long time since I watched biopics. In the postgraduate period, I started watching works related to women, and unknowingly, I was very interested in such works. Tonight Kim Soo said she wanted to see this movie before, so I wanted to see it too.

Compared with the recently watched "The Flower Blooms and the Moon Is Full", this film is serious and realistic, without the halo of the protagonist, the male protagonist of Mary Sue, and no one to help.

From the beginning, the heroine took the suffragette's words as a joke, to denying that she was a suffragette in prison, to firmly stating that she was a suffragette, and finally fighting for it.

I always thought that this film was about the awakening of the heroine, slowly becoming a leader, and finally leading everyone to a staged victory. But I didn't expect that the death of Emily Davidson, which I thought was the climax, was also the end. The film is about the "first blood" shed in the feminist movement, the first person to sacrifice. The heroine's role is not a leader, but a participant and a bystander. She represents thousands of people who have participated in the feminist movement. They will all experience broken families, gossip, contempt by men and even exclusion from women, and violence by the government. Suppression, police detention...

It is precisely because of this that they chose to be radical. The 50-year struggle for peace has not been paid attention to, so they can only choose violence and bloodshed. "Only war can attract the attention of those men", and only death can attract attention.

Perhaps in such a battle, there must be sacrifices in order to take a big step forward. I never imagined that the lady on the racetrack would resolutely die. She did not hesitate to use her own death in front of the world's camera to call for global attention to women's rights. What a boldness!

Don't underestimate women, they are full of wisdom, courage, pattern, and courage, they are the same as them.

Suffragette quotes

  • Emmeline Pankhurst: We do not want to be law breakers. We want to be law makers.

  • Inspector Arthur Steed: The fear is, they won't break, Sir. If one of them dies, we'll have blood on our hands and they'll have their martyr.

    Benedict Haughton: That must not happen, or Mrs Pankhurst will have won.
