Before watching Suffragette, with the previous experience of watching these movies based on real historical events, I look forward to the same shocking and sensational experience, especially about the struggle of women’s blood and tears. I just heard that sentence in the promo. War is the only language men listen to, it has already made me very passionate, and the whole person is ablaze. However, after watching the film, as many film critics have said, in terms of reflecting the history of British women fighting for suffrage, this film is a bit too plain, the rhythm is scattered, and the ending is too sloppy. There are always many points to be faulty. . However, I don't know why, but I didn't know why. In the movie theater, I almost cried from the beginning to the end, which was extremely embarrassing. I still like this film sincerely, because it surpasses my imagination of a film about disobedience. This story is far more inspirational to me than resistance. The subject it talks about is not about how feminists at the beginning of the 20th century fought for the right to participate in politics, but as women, why should we fight for the right to participate in politics. So I like to start from the role of Maud. The journey of an ordinary woman worker's transformation is far greater than praising the great achievements of some historical figures. Carey once again dedicated his superb and layered acting skills in this film, naturally deducing the mental journey of the role of Maud. The scene of the hearing explained the ins and outs of Maud. Her repressive and numb life is a portrayal of millions of low-level labor women, economically, laboriously, and even sexually exploited by men and employers. Although talking about the short lifespan and occupational diseases of laundresses, and talking about her mother who died early and her own awkward childhood, Maud has been able to deal with it in a consistent and submissive manner; after a hard day, living in a small room with her husband and son, enjoy The simple and quiet family happiness, her smile seems so docile and content, life should be full of sufferings, can there be such a happy family to rest in peace, what can be dissatisfied? However, when the owner of the laundry factory whispered in her ear, she would still feel tight and uncomfortable. When she saw the boss infringing on the girl worker, she would still be frightened and unable to deal with it. Going to the hearing with curiosity, when the duck was driven to speak, Maud said "I thought there might be another way of living this life. Rather than saying that Maud was persuaded by the preaching and voice of feminists and moved by their passion and blood, it is better to say that she boldly imagined the possibility of her own life. She was bravely exploring and affirming her identity and striving to contribute to this society. When I made my own voice, I walked towards the awakening step naturally. Maud has encountered many resistances since she first participated in the suffragette. Many people say that they don’t understand how she can be so firm in her conviction and sacrifice to this point. There is nothing in the film that is impassioned, nor does it reflect how noble and passionate the sport is. Maud Her belief is entirely based on her ordinary life. She believes that she is a good wife and a good mother. When the society questioned and accused her of being a good wife and a good mother, and forced her to give up, she did not succumb to the society’s definition of her—a good wife and a good mother are completely obedient to her husband, and she is dissatisfied with her husband. A woman who gave up her self for the sake of family harmony when she believed that she is a good wife and mother because she is the mother of her son, and because she clearly understands how deep her love for her children is, it is undeniable . Therefore, if society challenges her love due to various norms, she will not give up anything to beg the society to recognize her maternal love—this can only show that the society’s restrictions on the family, the definition of maternal love, and women The norms for mothers and wives are incorrect and need to be corrected. Therefore, she has to participate in the struggle for the right to vote, to correct the society's prejudice and control over the identity of mothers and wives. Political participation and rights struggle are not illusory and great ideals. The right to vote is just the cornerstone for us to live the way we want, to love freely and to be recognized for our love; to live freely and to let ourselves be free Be respected. It is for the sake of happiness to live ordinary and equal lives freely that these sacrifices and contributions are worthwhile. Why must the film about the struggle be made with ups and downs to reflect the greatness and nobility of the protesters? In this film, the beauty of resistance is that this is a noble life living in the ordinary. I believe that this is the meaning of political participation, and this is the meaning of women's tireless struggle for their social status. If this film is inspiring for us today, maybe it is just a reminder that every quiet woman who is happy in ordinary life should know that nothing is taken for granted. Politics is not "men’s stuff", no more. Political participation will lose all of our security. A hundred years ago, a mother had to blow up for the maternal love she took for granted Throwing stones in the mailbox, if we today, due to "female restrictions" and "different tastes", withdraw from social issues and political discussions, then everything they have won with blood and tears will be transformed into Nothing. Even with votes in hand, we will still be surprised to find that one day, we no longer count who we are, and society must tell us what a woman should be. Sadly, all this seems to have begun to happen. The road of resistance is long and long, not once and for all. The right to vote is just a starting point.
