It's a serious movie, a main theme movie, a politically correct movie, but I still love it.
Social movements always face two core questions, the first is who to fight for, and the second is by what means.
On the question of who to fight for, the film critic chose a working-class woman as the protagonist. She has been a worker since she was a child. She did laundry from the age of 9 to her 20s. She felt that the salary was okay, and the boss was not bad. Although she deeply hated him for sexual harassment, but With a lovely son and a nice husband, life doesn't seem to owe him anything. But since Meng Meng was pulled into a social movement where women demanded voting, it was only once, she thought she was doing the right thing for herself, and only once did she find herself forced to stand in the "normal world" "The opposite of. I'm used to being a second-class citizen, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if one day you violate the interests of a first-class citizen, you will realize your second-class status.
She found that the law did not give her the dignity of being a human being, that it could not help her keep custody of her son, and that it could not give her equal rights in marriage, work, and so on.
She found that she was forced to fight for herself.
I think this whole tone is what strikes me the most. It is never to deny the validity of lofty goals, but participation in a social movement is only possible when the issue is closely tied to your personal experience.
I also found that I seem to have found an answer to a question that once left me speechless:
a person who deeply identifies with American culture said: She thinks that the core of American culture is equality, what is Europe?
Now I can answer that equality in the United States requires individual success, while equality in Europe speaks of being born equal, and it speaks of the dignity of human beings who have no conditions.
Of course I can't help but think about China, the problem with fighting for rights is that I may just be disappointed time and time again. Talking is useless.
Even after watching two Carey Mulligan movies, I feel that there is still a gap between her and Kate. Kate is more comfortable, but she can't let go. But I really like the repressed, cautious side of British cinema/relationships.
