Suppression will only lead to rebound, we must continue to work hard

Check in "Suffragette", it's really a good movie. At the beginning, the heroine enters the main line, and the events follow one after another to advance the plot, which is not boring at all. I highly recommend ❤️ This movie is not that kind of didactic style, it is not even very sensational, it expresses it with restraint, many plots that can exaggerate emotions are finished quickly, only in the final "sacrifice" like sacrifice There is a clearer sense of sadness. It only uses one sentence or indifference or hypocrisy or mocking gossip, and one piece of deception or exploitation or violence to suppress the circumstances and people's intentional or unintentional unfair treatment of women at that time. And the superposition of these things also made the chill slowly penetrate into the bone marrow. The unfair treatment and perceptions that happened in this story are only a hundred years from now. At that time, women could not get equal pay for equal work, they had no property rights or the right to vote, they had to hand over the money they worked for to their husbands, they didn’t even have custody, and there was nothing they could do if their children were given away by their fathers. Everyone takes it for granted because the law says so. Only a few awakened women are determined to change this status quo, and the heroine is the one who is about to awaken. A husband who supports his wife's feminism is rated as "not worth mentioning" by another group of men; an educated woman is dangerous; before the idea of ​​feminism, the heroine was a good wife and a good mother, after she had the idea, she became a shame and shamed the husband , but the person is obviously still the same person...

On this road, the heroine was suppressed and taken away a lot, just to make her submit and fear. But the more the heroine loses, the more powerless she is to resist, the more she understands that she has to fight for more things, the more angry and radical she is, just for the future life, for the people around her, and for the sake of future generations. The heroine's road to awakening is coincidental but inevitable. The phrase "do not erupt in silence or perish in silence" is very consistent. At the end of the film, I compiled a list of how many countries have recognized women's suffrage by 2015. It seems that the number is quite large, but it is not much compared to the number of countries in the world. In 1949, when I saw that my country was on the list, I was relieved but felt that it was not enough. Compared with the early days, the living environment of women in our country has regressed (not to elaborate). The predecessors used to work so hard, and we have to work hard !

    I saw a silly comment and thought I had to write a few sentences. The "male indifference" that women hated a hundred years ago still exists today! Watching this film now, some people will think it's not salty or bland, but what you need to know is that equal rights for women and men were written into the Chinese constitution in 1949. Your grandparents have the same opportunity to work as men, and contributed to the family and the country. When you are born, you will naturally enjoy this equal right. Haven't the Chinese women fought before this? Of course there is! End subtitle In 1920, the United States passed the bill "Women can vote", but so far women enjoy the same equal rights as men. The ERA has not been written into the U.S. Constitution, which means that there are still women fighting for it! The number of female congressmen in the U.S. Congress is also very small, and important positions are all vacated by men. Can’t the United States find a female congressman? Fools also know that this is unscientific, but in fact there are always men who "make trouble" to prevent women from participating in politics.

    The most beautiful woman in a group of women is Aunt Helena! I really like Carey, and inexplicably think she is a good match for Ben Meow. . . The script written by the screenwriter of The Hour, no wonder Romola sister is also used. . . And after so many years, feminism is still a timeless topic that women fight for, which is really sad.
