Big name mine

A bit dull and depressing movie. The first victory in a collective sexual harassment case in the United States was adapted from the background of the Minnesota coal mine and the northern country with heavy snowfall. The thing itself is bigger than the movie, so it's not very good.

It’s just that the cast is too scary. The Oscar-winning actresses dispatched three old, middle-aged and young people: Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand (the famous Mrs. Cohen, Fargo's big-bellied policewoman!) and Sissy • Spicer (she played the miner’s daughter, this time the miner’s wife). Actors have natural killer Woody Harrison, plus tough guy Sean Bing. It's a pity that the characters are not very clear, and they are completely wasted. It is estimated that this pay will directly reach the level of A-level movies.

Charlize Theron is ugly and sweet. This time the strategy is not to wash his face very much, it means to go to Oscar, but the golden ball in this film has already missed, and Charlize Theron’s performance award from the British Institute has also been awarded. Did not get it. The director Niki Caro should be even more angry. There are a lot of nominations and nothing. The famous work of this young New Zealand female director is a film that reflects the aboriginal life of Maori people. When it comes to Maori people, I feel angry. Whenever a client has no idea, he asks us to make an advertisement with Maori people. Do Maori know what instant noodles are? ? ?

The only moving scene: When my father came out to support his daughter, the American miner spoke at a better level than our mine manager! And there are no mine disasters there.

North Country quotes

  • Hank Aimes: [to Josey upon announcing her desire to work at the mine] You wanna be a lesbian, now?

    Karen Aimes: [innocently] *I* wanna be a lesbian.

  • 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.
