A while ago, Apple TV+'s THE MORNING SHOW was launched as the highlight of Apple's streaming media business. I have always been interested in news themes and watched this popular drama for the first time. Therefore, watching BOMBSHELL again, it is inevitable to have a contrasting idea. My feeling is that this semi-documentary-style drama starring the three top huadans (the three goddesses do not know how many people like them) is good, but it lacks a little meaning. As a real event, the news shown in the film must not be "explosive", but the point-to-point of the drama still makes me feel that it is only the point-to-point, and it is inevitable to get rid of the itching.
Office sexual harassment has been a hot topic in film and television dramas since #metoo. Women's workplace encounters and personal abuses in various industries have been concentrated on the screen/screen without precedent. Whether it was before or after the Weinstein incident, TV networks and streaming media platforms looked at the timing, BIG LITTLE LIES, THE GOOD FIGHT, THE MORNING SHOW (listed in no particular order) and other film and television dramas, all touched feminism more or less The topic of right is mixed with the conflicts between left and right in American politics, and the personal/political identities of ethnic minorities. The general environment has changed, and film and television dramas whose narrative tone closely follows the realistic agenda have also become the capital of various media platforms.
Speaking of the film, its appearance seems to be more significant than the plot itself. However, such a group of brave people, a group of women who risked their career to stand up to fight the fight (and Nicole’s lawyers in the film), personally stood up in Murdoch to send Roger away and arrange for Bill (another harassed) When McKinnon hid pictures of himself and his girlfriend in the drawer again, when Theron found himself in a job I didn't want it, Kidman received a huge compensation and an apology when he was assisting by countless female executives. At that time, everything went back to the old track. The deliberately arranged ending word maybe seems to be the same. It can only be a summoning word after the long battle. It gives people strength, but it is not enough to change the status quo. Only Robbie went against the current, turned and left when everyone faced Murdoch, throwing away the work card, but will it be the same for the next job? unknown.
Just as I have a weak understanding of how to solve the problem of sexual harrasment, under the general environment, women in the news industry (or any industry) who suffer from male authority bullying in their jobs seem to be a topic that is powerless to face. It is often said that what kind of person you are depends on your choice. At this time, in film and television dramas, the only thing that can be effectively explained is women's right to choose. You can choose to be silent, and then humiliate your superiors or stay at your post. You can choose to collapse, leave, hate yourself, or even commit suicide. You can also play the game with a clear mind, grasp the power you already have, and move forward. , To maintain the current work and living standards, or, no longer be silent, use capital and wisdom to stand in the position of the game trader, and make a decisive blow.
However, take a look, the women who chose to fight for their righteousness, are they free from all this? You just changed from a blonde in a miniskirt to a blonde in overalls. The world is still a man's world.
I am not pessimistic, but the obstacles are long.
