At the beginning of the film, I felt sorry and unfair for the three heroines, who obviously had talents that were not lost to male colleagues, but suffered not only discrimination against women in the workplace, but also discrimination against people of color. The toilets make people feel like they are in backward rural India. And this discrimination is not just from white men, but also from those white women, it's just cannibalism. And what is even more speechless are the male black compatriots around them, many of whom have achieved successful careers, as well as fighters of the black affirmative movement. And their attitude seems to be that these black women with high IQ and high education should go home obediently and be a docile housewife.
In fact, I don’t really like politically correct films these days, those films that expose the dark side of society, because you have not made enough films. Have you really changed the reality? Has anyone stepped forward to change this reality? Otherwise, just like Korean movies, if you dare to shoot anything, and nothing can be changed, what's the point? In addition to the banner of anti-racism and equal rights for women, I am more interested in the background of the Cold War. Yuri Gagarin, Armstrong, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, those influential figures, one by one appeared in front of us. At that time, everyone seemed to be paranoid about being persecuted, and they were wary of the invasion of communism. But it's not too outrageous, after all, the Soviet missiles are blocked in Cuba, and the chin of the United States is on the chin. Regardless of the purpose of the United States and the Soviet Union, this competition with each other has also brought about the advancement of science and technology in the entire human civilization, especially the great progress of the aerospace industry. Look at the dilapidated International Space Station today, the United States and the West, which have lost their opponents, have gone on the road of rottenness and will not look back.
Going back to the movie itself, aside from its politically correct shell and the banner of justice held high, I don't think the movie itself was that successful. The character image is relatively thin, especially in the shaping of several white characters, the white boss has become an unbiased Bole, the most unfortunate thing is that the role played by Sheldon is completely portrayed as a mediocre and careful villain. , Facebook is serious. Although the three heroines are positive characters who are full of vigor and strive to gain respect through proper means, they gave me an uncomfortable feeling from beginning to end, as if the respect they had won was all thanks to alms from white people. To tell the truth, if there was no black affirmative movement initiated by Martin Luther King, Jr. and the background of the Cold War in the 1960s, I think their road would have been much more tortuous. Could they be appreciated and promoted so easily, really? is the unknown.
