The UK handed over the pride in 14 years and the suffragette in 15 years. It seems hard to imagine that women have won the right to vote only a century ago. (Ending subtitles show: New Zealand 1893, the United States in 1920, and the United Kingdom in 1928) What shocked me even more is that in the film depicted in 1912, women who did not have the right to vote, did not have the right to their children. (In 1925, the law recognised a mother's rights over her children.)
In the current Internet environment, there are some topics that can never be discussed properly, and there are always endless parties and differences. When we talk about feminism, I hope everyone can understand what the predecessors have done to this level.
Some lines written down:
"You want me to respect the law, then make the law respectable."
"It's deeds, not words that will get us the vote."
"The finest eloquence is that which gets things done."
"I would rather be a rabel then a slave."
"I'm worth no more, no less than you."
"We break the windows. We burn things.'Cause war is the only language men listen to."
"We are in every home. We're half the human race. You can't stop us all. And we will win."
The man in the movie who supports his wife and helps the feminist movement is so admirable. In this world, there are many people who are wise to protect their lives and have nothing to do with themselves. For example, the husband who played the role of Xiaoben, I really can't scold him. He also made a choice that most people would make, a choice that doesn't seem strange.
I remember when I went to NY City Museum before, there was an exhibition hall dedicated to recording the affirmative movement, from equal pay, blacks, women, to LGBT, those people's struggles over the centuries. I don’t know how many years from now there will be such a chapter in our textbook.
Digression. The screenwriter Abi seems to like the female perspective very much. At that time, I was chasing this Reuters, thinking that our Bel and Freddie were playing the same movie again, or the background of the same era. As a result, there was no match for XDD. It was suitable for Aunt Mei to act as the leader of the feminist organization... Lady.
