It's a small scene, but it's the only time I cried while watching the show

There are a lot of moving parts in the whole drama-excited, moved, shaken, touched... Although the whole story is firmly grasped by the plot, there is only one moment that makes me cry. In episode 7, Bella proposed to give up raising "lesbian issues" at this conference for the sake of the overall situation, which was opposed by other feminists including Gloria. When Bella ran to invite Betty to the conference, she told her about her differences with other people, and she was also a little bit bitter. Betty agreed with Bella's strategy. At this time, the camera showed a close-up of Bella's face. She was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Would you mind? No one calls you a radical anymore?"

In that moment, I cried for the first and only time, looking at Bella, who was older, tired, and maybe a little depressed. Just one shot, one sentence, one expression, but too much: how the leader of the feminist movement fought for the interests of women in the long battle, negotiating, mediating, and compromising again and again: one step further and two steps back, Three more steps, the process is repeated, and the road is long and difficult. Applause and support may bring comfort, but abuse, plotting, and humiliation are always around, and there is always more helplessness, pain, and bitterness. This scene makes people sad, but also gains a lot of strength from it. "What's the difference between you and ta? ta succumbs to the darkness that already exists, and I succumb to the dawn that doesn't exist yet."

    Schlafly is a veritable political broker. She is undoubtedly "smart" and uses ignorant housewives to oppose women's rights. She uses women's rights as a stepping stone to her political career. Since then, she has won the votes of housewives and the acceptance of male power in the upper class, killing two birds with one stone. In the debate with Betty, emotional manipulation is at its best. The betrayal of her husband made Betty, a staunch feminist fighter, so angry after many years, she was directly defeated. There is nothing new under the sun, and everything that happened in the United States is repeating itself in the Celestial Dynasty, using housewives to fight feminism, emotional manipulation, etc. Good tricks are not afraid of old age.
