In fact, it was initially attracted by the name of Queen Theron.
Even with the unyielding look on the hooded, dirty face on the cover of the movie, it's hard to connect her to the radiant Queen Theron on the red carpet. In the film, although wearing dusty overalls and looking haggard from time to time, it still can't stop the amazing beauty of the heroine. Speaking of which, I have to admire every outstanding actress who dares to create an image for the work.
However, in the era and region where the heroine lived, beauty brought her more trouble than others. From being hurt by a teacher in high school to being teased and insulted at work by a male colleague who looked down on women, this woman who raised her two children alone without a domestic abusive husband has never been sharpened, even by her father. misunderstanding.
She took the initiative to fight for it, tried to resist, and spoke up when she saw female colleagues being bullied, but she was repeatedly attacked by this male-dominated society, but she never gave up. When she had to open the scars in her heart to face the embarrassment before, her courage won the support from her family and colleagues.
The results are undoubtedly encouraging. But the most touching part of the film is that her mother chose to run away from home in order to support her, and her father, who had always been ashamed of her, chose to stand in front of her when she was attacked in public.
"The only person you need to trust is your daughter."
"I have to be on her side because she is my daughter."
When the whole world is about to give up on you, your family will be your strongest backing.
In the speech of the heroine's father, it was ironic that the miners who insulted their female colleagues would never take such an attitude towards their own family. In a work environment that generally discriminates against female workers, this kind of discrimination has assimilated more and more people by putting on the cloak of the majority. This is indeed another place to think about.
When I watch it, I also unconsciously think of Julia's "Never Compromise", and the setting of similar identities will inevitably make people make comparisons. But one is to do justice from the perspective of a bystander, and the other is to pull himself out of the quagmire and strive for hope for tomorrow.
For me, the power that the latter conveys is even more thrilling.
