Never give in!

The name of the movie is very appropriate to my current impressions!
In court, when the origin of Josie's first child was stripped away, I couldn't help crying. At this time, I admired this woman in my heart. No matter how unbearable the child's origin is, how reminiscent of the shame, but she still loves him like most mothers in the world, and gives everything she can. At the beginning of the film, in a conversation with her mother, she said that "two children are the goal of her life", and it is precisely to feed the children that she chooses to go to the mine to be a miner.
In the conflict with his father, Josie also had to face the harassment of the male mine worker and the insults of the child. You can imagine how much courage it takes. Now when our work is not going well, we always think of giving up, but she, no!
Face the difficulties, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Qiu Ju’s spirit gained his father’s understanding. After the return of the child, the female worker finally stood up and said Gongdao (very depressed, the same woman was treated unfairly, but she chose to endure it). I have always believed that there is no enduring. At the end, only resistance and skillful resistance can cross the hurdles.
In the end, conscience defeated the devil, and Josie won! But I am not happy at all. As a disadvantaged group, women need strength to accomplish work, fertility, and aging. The respect that a beautiful girl like Josie gains through her own efforts deserves applause!

  • Josey Aimes: You act like I'm stealing. I work damn hard every day, same as you.

    Hank Aimes: Oh, now you're the same as me.

    Josey Aimes: Oh no, there's a few differences. You don't go to work scared of what they write about you on the walls, or what kind of disgusting thing you might find in your locker. You don't gotta be scared that one of these days you'll come to work and get raped.
