More helpless

"Northern Wind" is not a good translation, it is better to "never give in". Josie is a single mother with two children. In order to survive, she went to work in the mine, but was sexually harassed with other female compatriots working here. The female workers all chose silence and patience, but Josie finally couldn't bear it, and resorted to the law, fighting against the powerful mine alone, and finally won the lawsuit. And the most important thing is that Josie won the dignity of being a human being, won the understanding and support of her relatives, and won the right to work as a female miner in the mine.

It's not uncommon for small people to be bullied by coworkers and bosses at work. I think that under normal circumstances, most people will have similar experiences-don't let yourself be a small group of people. In the same environment, women are more susceptible to unfair treatment, and people with small influence (even physically weak) are also susceptible to bullying. Human nature is inherently good and human nature is inherently evil. It is not clear from the beginning. In other words, not all evil is the result of a very strong plan, and many times just want to do that.

How to solve this problem? Recourse to the law is just a rational approach that has been praised after being helpless. The legal system is the strongest proof of human civilization, but it is also the most helpless aspect of human civilization. As long as it can be solved by itself, I don’t think anyone would be willing to sit in the witness stand and listen to questions. After all, strength is the most important thing, which makes people very helpless. Recently, I was watching stories about the struggle for hegemony in various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period, and I was heavily bombarded by strength. Brothers and sisters can commit adultery, and fathers are used to grab power. Tens of thousands of people can be chopped into meat, as long as you have the strength. Modern companies can squeeze your blood and sweat. Veteran workers can insult you. People who are stronger and stronger than you can indeed rape you in the office. There is nothing wrong with it, because strength determines everything. When American troops invaded Iraq, the Iraqi people shouted to the sky: Allah, please punish them! ------The weak, please stop believing in axioms.

The reason for saying this is just because I thought about what would happen after the lawsuit in the film was won. The mine paid a huge amount of compensation, and the female miners can take up the "legal weapon" to deal with daily sexual harassment, and then? "Then" it must be that the person who initiated the lawsuit was dismissed for no reason, and the new female workers are still being harassed, unless the female miners in the mine account for the overwhelming majority-at that time, the new male miners should have been dismissed. Sexual harassment. The distance that a momentary victory pushes civilization forward is really less than the thickness of the hair. Of course, this is also where the spirit of "Never Concession" lies. Those who will never give in either stand firm in the courts, or do not give up in their usual work, or go to the forefront in the struggle between the crowds, or participate in the revolution to vent their anger with blood. In any case, there will always be people who will never give in. , Constantly advancing a certain process, or like young shoots breaking the soil, or like green vines around the trees, or like volcanic eruption, making the world surging, developing, renewing and destroying in change.

Many scenes in the film are very touching, thanks to the sufficient foreshadowing of the first half. Starring Charlize Theron (Charlize Theron) is easy to do, and many other actors are also very exciting, especially the actor who plays Josie's father.
