This is a story adapted from real life in the United States in 1993. It tells the story of a single mother with no high education and no high social status. Faced with an injustice involving a huge consortium, she had the courage to stand up and fight! Strive to seek the facts, fight on the basis of reason, contend with the law, and finally achieve justice. We often lament the indifference of the people in society. Many people are indifferent to many wrong things because they are afraid of trouble and offending the powerful! It's nothing to do with yourself, why do you need to do more? This is the mentality of Ah Q of many people! As a result, the accumulated abuses in the society are getting worse! In fact, the world we live in is full of unsolvable problems, and it is also full of pressures that hinder you from solving them. Everyone has an image of a hero in their hearts, but to be a hero in the real world requires the courage of thousands of people to go forward. And this courage is based on the values of "justice" and "compassion." Because the power of belief is great, Xiao Xiami can have the silly strength to fight against the big whale!
The film also discussed important issues such as serious environmental pollution caused by economic development and women's right to work. Whether in Eastern or Western societies, women are always labelled as "inferior to men" in the workplace. Even in the same position, men are paid more than women. In the film, Irene is full of swear words and hotly dressed. She feels like a playful and brainless person. She is a divorced woman who has no career and is burdened with three children. The image belongs to the social failure group. But the story of Xiao Xiami's ultimate success against the big whale is still very inspiring and inspiring.
However, Irene also encountered many difficulties on the road to success. Because of her busy work, she couldn't get along with her children from time to time. Her eldest son (Matthew) did not understand her. And his boyfriend, George, could not accept that she devoted a lot of effort and time to work. But everyone needs to prove their value. Even women and mothers always sacrifice and contribute to the role, but also need to realize their own value. How can they easily give up?
The ending of this film is a very idealistic happy ending, although in reality such things rarely happen, it is difficult to succeed! But the progress of social reform requires more Irene to stand up-justice.
