"Long Live Women" is about women's choices, and the choice faced by Rogers' protagonist Katie in the film is: do you choose someone you love or someone who loves you. Of course, Katie finally made the right decision - to put aside the past and marry the man who loved her dearly. "Long Live Women" is not a good work, and the plot is somewhat similar to a soap opera on TV. What impressed me the most was the silent film performance at the beginning of the film, which vividly showed the liberation of women and the upsurge of the feminist movement. When women did not have rights, men would offer their seats to them on the bus. But when women have equal rights with men, no one will give up their seats on the bus anymore. This is an interesting comparison. It is undeniable that Rogers' performance in the film, which changed the way of the drama, is really refreshing, and maybe this is what she can get from Joan Fontaine (Butterfly Dream), Katherine Hepburn (Philadelphia Story), Bette Davis (Shannon) The reason for winning the Oscar in the hands of Jian Lei).
