The Awakening of Women Laborers in the Age of Industrial Revolution
In 1912, the technology industry was advancing by leaps and bounds, but women's equal rights struggled for decades but remained stagnant.
In the protagonist Maud, we can see the prejudice, oppression and exploitation of the female group in society: born in a laundry factory, as a girl, she does not have the right to play and be educated as freely as a boy, and she became a living worker at an early age; as a female worker , she was sexually harassed, worked more work than men, and received less wages than them; as a wife, she had to be her husband's vassal and face; as a mother, she had no custody of the children.
She didn't even think there was any chance of this changing until she was pushed to the hearing to speak out about her experience.
"Suffragette"
This is the label that the inspector put on Maud during her first interrogation after the protests.
At first, Maud did not identify with her identity, nor did she act as confident and bold as her guide, Violet, who believed in the cause. Although her testimony was only factual, and her shoving was only to protect her companions, she was arrested and imprisoned because of this. Due to prejudice and the pressure of the existing environment, Maud would still feel sorry for her actions and promised her husband that there would be no more next time.
It is so difficult to give up the original stable life, and it is very difficult for people to give up, and decide to pay a heavy price to fight for the uncertain right that is not recognized by the majority of people.
But when the people around her were ashamed of her, spurned her actions, and locked her out, the natural empathy and concern among women, mutual support and encouragement, gave her a way to the dark side. courage.
Law Breaker, Law Maker
Women's ability and status were degraded everywhere, and their legal rights were far lower than men's, which was a fact at the time.
Why does this unjust normality and written law exist for granted, and are followed and believed by the vast majority of people?
Those who perceive this kind of injustice and should not dare to question it loudly are undoubtedly warriors. When 50 years of peaceful struggle still cannot change, it is time to exchange sacrifices for attention and freedom.
The vested interests believe they are breaking the law, and the suffragettes believe they are creating credible and respectable laws.
Finally, see the big from the small, and follow the protagonist from the edge to the center of the storm. Such a political movement needs to be splendid and smooth, and it is inseparable from the appropriate focus, appropriate rhythm, and ultimately the effective delivery of the actors' emotions, and the fit of the soundtrack and the plot. , and the crew managed to achieve the best of all this I can think of.
