The Life Story of an American Law University Bully

Originally I had doubts about the translated title of the movie, but I found that if it wasn't for the addition of a female character, I might not have noticed that the theme of the movie was closely related to women.

When I studied American history before, I learned some of the separation of powers in the United States: the president, the legislature, and the courts. The nine justices of the court are the top bigwigs in the American legal profession.

In terms of work, Ruth in the documentary is a typical college bully who has been self-improving and self-disciplined since childhood, and graduated from Harvard Law. She is very devoted to her work, her writing is rigorous, her analysis of problems is logical, and she has her own attitude. She has fought a lot of lawsuits related to gender discrimination, handled cases of unfairness not only against women but also against men, and made a lot of efforts for gender equality. And what she pursues is not to eat a big fat man in one bite, but to achieve equality bit by bit. She successfully got a certain state military academy to agree to admit girls into the school, and gave many girls the opportunity to enroll in the school. I was very moved to see this. Girls often did not do worse than others, but did not even get the qualification to enter the arena.

In terms of life, she was fortunate to meet her husband who understood her work, was willing to make concessions, and worked hard to help her get the nomination of the judge. This is also an important point where she can be better at work.
