"We don't want to break the law, we want to make the law."
There is no deliberate blood and sensation, only heavy.
This movie reminded me that the rights we are enjoying right now are not taken for granted at all. They are won through the struggle and sacrifice of a small number of people.
They work more hours than men and receive less wages than men. After returning home, their wages are collected by their husbands.
They cannot learn, cannot make decisions as independent individuals, and can only be represented by fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons.
They were sexually harassed by their bosses and domestically abused by their husbands, and no one listened to their complaints.
They stood up and wanted to use a peaceful way to call for equal rights, but in exchange for repeated disappointments, threats, violent suppression, and imprisonment for abuse.
What the society rewarded them was cold-eyed and ridiculed, which also included husbands, family members, and other women who should have been close to them.
So they can only take a more violent way, smashing the windows and blowing up the mailbox, because only by setting off the WAR can they be heard.
The mentality of the heroine Maud Watts was not abrupt at all. From the beginning, she did not want to cause trouble, and emphasized that she did not belong to Suffragette during the police officer's interrogation. Then when she decided to join Suffragette's operation, she wrote to the police officer (not sure of the title):
" I'm worth no more, no less than you."
Before I watched it, I thought there would be a scene of triumphant applause as a climax, but it was ridiculously wrong... From the
beginning to the end of the movie, only their suffering, oppression, and Suffragette's The funeral of member Emily ends.
In order to let the king and the reporters notice, Emily rushed into the racecourse and her death was reported all over the world. In the end, Britain passed the right to vote for women step by step.
Soon after the movie started, I laughed with my friends and said that the Suffragette members pulled Maud Watts in and said something like a cult, and slowly I couldn't laugh.
Without the firm belief and persistence of such a “cult”, their daughters will still enter the factory at the age of 12 and will be sexually harassed and unable to speak up. Their children will still be the husband’s belongings and will be disposed of by the husband at will.
For the rights they should have, they suffer, or even die, in exchange for the right we are accustomed to now.
Therefore, nowadays, I see people taking to the streets holding banners and shouting, calling for equality, marching, and hunger protests. If you can’t join and support, don’t stand aside and make jokes and hysterics.
To marginalize and demonize them at will is equivalent to standing on the oppressive side.
