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."
