The trailer of "Assistant" is actually a bit misleading. Judging from the trailer, it seems to be a thriller, but the film is quite "de-dramatic". It's just a conversation between Jane and HR, but despite the smooth flow of the plot, we can still empathize with the heroine in the extension of each shot, and appreciate the complex emotions contained in the film at those important plot points. It can be described as "hearing thunder in a silent place."
I still like this movie. It did better than I expected. It did not become a big-character newspaper accusing Weinstein as I thought. The movie shows the invisible oppression and compulsion faced by women in the workplace. Silence. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to make such a movie, and it is even more necessary to be seen by the world. Many people have become accustomed to being silent, accustomed to silence and accepting the unfairness that is happening. If they can't speak up for these people, where can they vent their inner complaints?
