Winning the case, but still not enough

The whole movie is only relieved by the short segment where someone stands up at the end. As a viewer, it is really sad to suppress my emotions from beginning to end. Although I won the case, I still couldn't vent out so many negative emotions. Then the movie ended, and I was left with those vivid pictures.

Maybe the reality is more cruel, maybe the movie has not fully revealed the truth, just after watching the movie alone, I feel furious. The capitalists came up to ask questions at first, but they were still indifferent for their own interests. Those workers were excusable for not being able to stand up, but it was still unimaginable, especially for the female colleagues. The insults they were subjected to, they were able to swallow their voices and refreshed my bottom line. .

If those female workers just use "alive" as an excuse, I don't think they are "alive". To suffer such misfortune in a job is no different from death.

This movie not only expresses feminism, but also expresses how to be a person. The love of a mother for her son is the driving force of the heroine. It wasn't the people who finally stood up in court that made my eyes red, but the mother's unconditional love for her son.

    Hank Aimes: Oh, now you're the same as me.

    Josey Aimes: Oh no, there's a few differences. You don't go to work scared of what they write about you on the walls, or what kind of disgusting thing you might find in your locker. You don't gotta be scared that one of these days you'll come to work and get raped.
