At the beginning of the film, female workers are busy at the Ford Motor Factory. The color of the film is light, and the ladies all wear light-colored clothes and look very comfortable. Their hair is blond, some messy, some meticulous. During the break, they chatted and joked happily.
The Everyone out
film was caused by the factory's refusal to define female workers as skilled workers. The female workers decided to negotiate with the guild to obtain their due rights. During the negotiation, Monty, a sly and cunning two-faced man, thought that Rita was young and easy to deceive, so he dealt with it with words that seemed to speak for the workers. Rita said, "Shit." Then he took out the material for the leather chair and said, you can sew one, and I'll take a look.
Of course, she said more than my lady, but through her words, that's what she meant. I admire people who can speak softly and not get excited, but express their thoughts clearly. After watching a lot of passionate and impassioned speeches, those so-called rhetoric and tone of voice are all false, and content is king.
Back at the factory, a Rita, who had never made such an "earth-shattering" move, stood on a high place. She seemed to want to say something to express her momentum and emotion. In the end, she just said, everyone out (the strike begins).
Equal pay or Nothing
Albet is a lovely old man, his eyes behind round glasses always sparkle when he sees the spirit of the girls. I would like to believe that it is a pair of eyes that will be lit by justice.
On the afternoon of the first day of the strike, heavy rain, coffee shop, he encouraged Rita to keep fighting for something more - equality between men and women.
I, a man 50 years later, was shaken. In The Devil Wears Prada, Andrea chuckles softly at the inability of fashion editors to pick two blue belts that look alike. The witch whispered to her that blue was designed by which designer and where, and then imitated by the public, and finally became cheap blue that everyone could wear, not simply "blue". But this is far more shocking than this time. I never knew that fifty years later, the seemingly normal wage equality between men and women was only achieved after so many difficult struggles. Immediately, a breath of history came to my face, and I really wanted to thank the old revolutionary predecessors for creating today's life for us.
In the end, no one compromised. They say: Equal pay or nothing.
Should I have been there?
Resistance is obvious. When the female workers go on strike, the male workers naturally have nothing to do and no money to receive. Whether it's the workers who were laid off early, or Rita's friend who participated in the strike talks - the death of a lover while away from home, or even Rita's husband, she has been tormented. Thinking about it now, the difficulty at that time was almost as difficult as trying to get a man to conceive and give birth, which was an unacceptable concept at that time. But Rita still believes that men and women, in the first place, should be equal. In the senators' convention, she took the stage to speak, trembling voice, uneasy demeanor, but still moved them with sincerity. In the end, it also moved her husband.
And, of course, that little old lady with red hair - Barbara, the government's employment secretary.
I have to take that risk
Ford executives went to Barbara, threatened her with withdrawing from the UK, tried to stop her from talking to the women workers. She does have her own considerations. Politics is a long process. Moreover, the prime minister who supported the strike ten years ago now has to consider the overall situation of the national economy. Rita said, we are not politicians, we are working women, so are u. Barbara walked to the next door and said to Ford executives, I have to take that risk.
The film is still quiet, even the demonstrations are full of ladylike feelings. At the end, I interviewed the female workers who actually participated in the strike movement. They have been emphasizing that we are ladies. The video recordings at that time made people mistakenly think that the previous ones were all the video materials at that time, because it was so realistic, and the female workers at that time were also so calm and firm. They had no idea that they would bring legislation that many countries would enact, and they had no idea how much progress their actions would bring today.
History is a little heavy, but a small detail is the most moving. Rita had a big fight with the teacher at school because the teacher physically punished the child, and because of this, she met a woman who had the same problem. She is the wife of Ford executives. She wore one of the brightest dresses in the film, a bright red Barbie dress. She graduated from the Cambridge Department of History, but after her marriage, her husband treated her like a fool. Because she is a woman. She gave Rita strong emotional support, as well as material support - lending her a dress when Rita met Babara. Make her a confident and beautiful female worker.
Are women weak? Obviously not. It's just that we always forget what we can do. We always feel that we are taken care of. Over time we become the real underdogs.
Do women have to be strong? Neither. Rita has a harmonious and happy family because she loves her husband and children. She insists on the justice in her heart and maintains the sweetness of her family.
What you have, you have earned yourself. Of course, the premise is that, u deserve it. After
reading it, you will still be full of tears and refreshed. Life still needs such positive power. Complete your spiritual transformation from today. Be the person you want to be. It's actually not that difficult. Sometimes, as long as you hold on, a little bit.
This movie is also called "We Demand Equality between Men and Women". For me, I prefer to call it, "The Ladies' Triumph."
