Fearlessness is also a kind of persistence

After World War II, the economy gradually recovered, but behind the seemingly prosperous life, there was a huge war-traumatic sequelae. For example, women are eager to rely on men to seek shelter and stability, and men have gained more sex and women's admiration as show off and capital. The story unfolds in the United States in the context of this era. Katherine's wisdom and beauty only exist in fictional stories, and most of us are Betty, Joan, Livy... and those girls who ignore their own value but build all happiness on family . Therefore, at the end of the movie, Catherine, who was out of place, finally chose to leave, and those girls watched her go away with chasing and reluctance, or envy, or envy, or confuse, or disdain, but in any case, everyone aspires to become Catherine, but didn't have the guts to be her. We love Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte because "Pride and Prejudice" and "Jane Eyre" write what we want to be, and don't lose women's pride because of secularism and public opinion And elegance, those temperaments we once yearned for are not destroyed because of marriage and family, this is the ultimate elegance. It also reminds me that when I watched "Wrestle, Dad" two days ago, it was also a film that revealed anti-feminist colors. After watching the film, I always wanted to say something. I would like to express it through my thoughts today: Maybe Persistence is a kind of fearlessness, or, is fearlessness a kind of persistence? — May 22, 2017.
