The Bitter Northland

The cold North Country makes us feel not only the snow and bare branches all over the mountains, but also the hostility co-workers.

It's another film based on real people and real events, which makes people feel a little bit procrastinated, but real life story is much more dramatic and heart-shaking than any made up stories, even by the greatest writers.

Charlize TheronAfter that, I saw her with admiration. Although there is no Christina Ricci this time, the role of the female driver is also surprising.

It's not always easy to get along with others, but when they're harrassing you or even butting into your business and making you feel disturbed, it's time to stand up and fight back with your fists helf fast.

    I cried so much in the second half. Sometimes discrimination stems from a lack of empathy, and the empathy of a group may not be a kind of nature, but knowledge. I don't know if the average man will be deeply touched by this, if he will feel offended and helpless. Some commented that the heroine is stupid enough to think that the boss will help her. I want to say that it is precisely because she is "stupid" that she chooses to uphold the truth and choose to believe in the law, so that she will win a case that has never been preceded by a precedent. Don't look at the women of that era from the perspective of your god, and don't use the benefits you enjoyed in the 20th century to talk about the people who won them for you! Finally, I am grateful to all those who have fought and are fighting for equal rights. It is hard to imagine a world where everyone compromises. You are really great!
