Confirmation
- The Hearing

That Changed History This is a story with no ending.
A hearing that had a profound impact on American society. The story itself, in the form of an almost documentary, very realistically describes the political turmoil caused by the nomination of justices in the Bush era, the game of various political forces, the complaints of sexual harassment victims, and the judge's counterattack. Of course, it can also provide a glimpse of the political and judicial system in the United States.
As Chinese people cannot imagine what it would be like to broadcast such a hearing on TV, the description of the scene alone is disturbing enough.
Aside from the story, there are often topics and various subtexts targeting women in life. In most cases, everyone laughs it off, and no one realizes the injustice behind it. The equal status of Chinese women did not go through the arduous struggle of the feminist movement, but passively achieved equality. Just like Chinese people who are used to submissiveness, under the influence of traditional thinking, they are still a group of silent people.
Is the victim really a "victim"? Or a pawn in a political struggle?
Is the candidate for justice innocent?
What the truth is, we will never know.
The result doesn't seem to be very important. The important thing is to bring a sensitive issue to the table and the whole society to participate in it, so as to promote a kind of reform, to really take a serious problem from the legal, social and political system, and to think seriously about it. one question.

Outcome of this hearing: Women's rights are more widely respected.
