I want dignity and money

7.0/10 Chicago is such a strange city. It's not where the violence is, but the violence, chaos, and discrimination in this land can be famous around the world.

The logic of this film is very simple, and the reverse design does not require much thought. It was probably a burglary in which four people died in a fire, and the money was stolen from the black leader. His persecution of the mastermind of the black heroine forced the black heroine to join other widows to carry out theft. Halfway through, she learned that her husband had had a relationship with the fourth widow, and took the opportunity to blow up her husband, mainly to make herself disappear legally and escape without a trace. A widow who can drive is joined in the middle, and the four successfully steal $5 million from the white leader's home. At the end, the black heroine will shoot the headshot of her husband who asks for the money.

Movies with women in major roles are definitely feminist. It includes independent feminism, anti-reliance on feminism, awakening of feminism and other independent states of feminism. Although many people shout that the female characters here are not very obvious, but if you want to know a little about the character status of the characters, I think the most intuitive scene is at the funeral of their respective husbands. The characters of the women in each state are basically Demonstrated at the funeral, including the character development brought about by the family atmosphere and the surrounding environment. But even if the director matches each female character with a different personality, the status of women in the film is terrible. Even the eldest sister who is independent and hot-tempered on the surface, relies on the feminist power granted by the male power to survive. Therefore, it is not that women themselves do not work hard, but it is the tragedy of society and history. When we women watch movies, we can shout slogans: feminism sometimes really has nothing to do with women.

For example, the sovereignty of women's rights is in the film, and most of them need to be obtained by men. For example, in the campaign to help women's rights as a means to win votes, the same strong women can only be used as help, or they are described by the incumbent father as "beautiful and useless", accusing his son of changing people immediately. There is also the possibility of obtaining male support through the appearance of a certain degree of financial independence. Although this is not feminist, financial independence is indeed the most basic and most important step for independence... This makes me feel that prostitutes are actually quite feminist. Work, don't belong to anyone. Indeed, in 19th century England, prostitutes should have been a better job.

The men in this movie are probably a collection of scumbags that the director put together and straight men. Just like women with different personalities, the men in this film are also different and have their own characteristics. Cowardice, domestic violence, ignoring, escaping, or simply non-existent, each has its own scum that reaches new heights, and there is a combination of serial scum and reverse scum. After reading it, I feel that it is either violence or a hypocrite. Even the black husband who gave it to the books actually Seeing that the brother and the woman were scumbags in one fell swoop, they calculated a middle game, and finally dared to come back and ask for money. I was really afraid that the heroine would not be clean by shooting seven bullets with one gun. There is also the Bao Yang brother who was a gentleman at the beginning, but he was arrogant and cowardly in the end, and he was very careful not to clean up this kind of person. I'm sorry, but I'm reminded of the so-called "widows" in the far-flung British Empire who are recognized as the happiest people.

Other parts such as Chicago's discriminatory shootings, gangs, regimes, and the history of the church are better described. If this film mentions streets and drugs a little, the description of Chicago will be more detailed, so that the overall background will be richer, and there is no need to be afraid of being too complicated. Anyway, this film is already complicated enough, so let’s just put real news in it. It is not impossible to appear as an easter egg.

For example, this Chicago police officer killed people at will, focusing on the discrimination of blacks in Chicago. And the beautiful girl gets guns at will, which also shows that Chicago's control of guns is like a blank sheet of paper, and it is estimated that individuals can get guns. There are many similar descriptions in the movie, and I think it is a fun easter egg.

The description of politicians in it is very interesting. The speaker on the stage, when he got off the stage, he would just mmp and the female assistant would also directly mmp back. This scene is all shown in a voice-over in a moving car, which is also the point of the film. Very interesting.

I really don’t want to talk about feelings in front of money, which is really in line with individualistic values. And it's really cool to start the fight without saying a word here. I admit that the crime scene really has no technical content, but the acting skills of the actress are really nothing to say, and the quality of the film is improved with the eyes. So give one more to women. Widows become widows, probably a very sad thing.

But fuck it, only dead men know how happy my mother can be.

Stealing is not bowing your head, stealing is because of dignity and money I fucking want!

Widows quotes

  • Veronica: We have a lot of work to do, crying is not on the list.

  • Reverend Wheeler: So, what has happened to the world? That normal now passes as excellence? When did we lower our standards? There seems to be no expectation to go above and beyond what one might know, or might want to know. It seems people are blissful in their own ignorance. How far have we fallen? Indeed, how far have we fallen? We are living in an environment where people are blind. What you don't see, you don't know. Out of sight, out of mind. So now, ignorance is the new normal! In fact, ignorance is the new excellence! The less you know, the more seemingly you gain. Not to care is deemed to be smart. When you subtract love from any equation, from any situation, from any location, the result is always hurt, and pain, on all sides. That is why we need to bring love back into the equation. Love, in Jesus' words: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." So he can hear you all now, say it with me: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Even when it ain't easy! Even when you been done wrong! And this world's got you down on your knees! Love thy neighbour as thyself! Alright, amen.
