In fact, men and women are not equal

The film in Romania is very dull in three weeks and two days in April. It must take a lot of patience to finish such a film. Otilia and Gabita, two beautiful female college students, live in the same room and have a very close relationship. The film revolves around how to get an abortion after Gabita's unplanned pregnancy. It can be very difficult. I can clearly see the social background and popular ideas of Romania at that time.

Under the government at that time, abortion was illegal, and the two had to seek illegal ways to help Gabita have an abortion. I prefer Otilia because she is beautiful, smart, brave, and dares to give to her friends; Below, Gabita appears cowardly, powerless, and selfish. In the cold weather, Otilia booked a cheap hotel, and then went to find the illegal abortion doctor, and all the cowardly Gabita could do was to wait, and he even tricked the doctor into saying that she only had two month pregnant, and this also caused trouble for Otilia.

When the rogue doctor who was obviously wrong-headed and Gabita talked a lot of bullshit, Otilia on the side was always paying attention to Gabita, and she never thought that she would actually sacrifice her body for her close friend. cost. I just think Gabita is very selfish, does she love her friend? In order to get herself aborted, she would not hesitate to lie. Under the kind of doctor intimidation, Otilia had no other way to do anything but submit, and she did not have any sense of resistance, but cowardly let the doctor go, and even more The confidant was pushed into a corner where there was no turning back. So, Otilia traded her young body for an operation of her own, how helpless and absurd.

Otilia, who was naked, walked to the bathroom and started to rinse, her expression was infinitely indifferent. And Gabita watched her and began to sob. I was filled with contempt for her. From this, I think that friendship is not equal. No matter how good A is to B, it may not be good enough to spend money with heart and lungs. I hate corner B. I always feel that people have to sacrifice a lot in order to achieve their own help, which is a particularly shameful thing. Gabita is such a character that I hate. In fact, what I think should be contrary to the director. Maybe the director wants to reflect the social status of women and the lowliness of women's rights. In an environment where abortion cannot be a woman's own right, how much women have to pay in order to realize the freedom of the body The price, such as the price of the body, can only be exchanged for the still dangerous abortion, how ironic. Taking this as an extension, you can think of more. Abortion itself is a double-edged sword, right? If parents start from the point of view of eugenics and prenatal care, and even engage in gender selection, which kills the possibility of many children's survival, how should this be explained from an ethical point of view?

Hehe, can't think about that much. I'm not a feminist or a masculinist, but I just think there are so many problems in this society that I can't figure out.

After Otilia helped Gabita set up the abortion probe and other equipment, she went out to attend her boyfriend's mother's birthday party. Because she was always worried about her girlfriend, she was very absent-minded. She sat like pins and needles at the dining table, and I actually did too. Feel the same. Relatives were talking about family problems, and they were involuntarily condescending, and Otilia, who was born in an ordinary family, was naturally a little uncomfortable. Finally, she and her boyfriend had a chance to chat. When she saw her asking her boyfriend what to do if she was pregnant, her boyfriend hesitated for a moment, which was really sad. Hehe, from this point of view, women are always weak. If love develops to a certain stage, it is natural for men and women to love each other, but any result of this can only be borne by women. , as if it was a woman's depravity, her own fault, and few people would think of blaming the irresponsible man who caused her pregnancy; while in Romania's era of left-wing rule, men seemed to just enjoy what they wanted, and women were not careful If you are pregnant, you must solve it yourself. Life and death are not the most tragic for the time being. If you are accidentally discovered, you will face jail. Immediately feel that in the relationship between men and women, women are always at a disadvantage due to the unchangeable physiological structure. Even today in the 21st century, if there is an accidental pregnancy before marriage, most of them are women.

Otilia couldn't get through to the hotel, so she rushed back in a hurry. Gabita had successfully had an abortion, and the tiny wrinkled embryo was shocking to me. So she packed the embryos in a bag, ready to throw them somewhere the rogue doctor had said to be smashed, leaving no trace. Once again impressed by her bravery, in an unfamiliar city, at the risk of being discovered by the police and breaking the law, walking alone in the dark, with no danger, she finally completed this difficult task. When she returned to the hotel, she could not find Gabita. Just when she was extremely anxious, Gabita, who was so hungry, had already arrived at the restaurant. The two girls were finally able to sit down easily and have a good meal. What happened in the past two days is definitely enough for them to remember for a lifetime, and what I can't understand is that Gabita always owes Otilia, and I don't know how she will face her in the long years to come , how to be calm...

I really think too much. I think such a movie is actually worth watching, maybe feminists will like this kind of movie, let people see how imperative it is for women to have more rights. In fact, whether abortion is legal or not is only the tip of the iceberg of whether women have enough rights. The fact that there are differences in the treatment of men and women can be seen from all aspects of society.

God, please tell me when will men and women achieve true equality? Or will you tell me that as long as there are biological differences between men and women, men and women will never be equal?
