The heroine was originally a law-abiding citizen. Her life is not rich. For financial reasons, she and her daughter were humiliated by the wealthy housewives, and no one attended her daughter's birthday party. But when the daughter said that she wanted her mother to hit the other side to find teeth, the heroine educates her daughter not to hit people casually because other people are not good.

At this time, the hostess's husband received an invitation from a friend, saying that he could make a sum of money in 10 minutes (of course, that is illegal). It wasn't that he hadn't been unimpressed, but after thinking about his family, he still refused.

However, staying safe and keeping one's own self has not been able to exchange for peace. The hostess's husband and daughter were killed by the gang because of this incident. The surviving female protagonist, who used the law to protect her rights was invalid, but was so emotional that she was almost sent to a mental hospital. This is similar to the plot in "A Mother's Revenge". When the four suspects were seen acquitted, the girl's father beat someone on impulse and was detained. The bad guys can do their best, but the victims have to be punished because of the impulse caused by unfair treatment.

Finally, like all the protagonists of the cool film, the heroine embarked on the road of revenge.

The scenes of fights and fierce battles are similar to those of ordinary cool films, which are very suitable for friends who like to watch women fight.

Interspersed with some interesting branches, the heroine teaches the alcoholic father who abuses his daughter, protects the children in the slum, and teaches the noble woman who once humiliated her. This makes the heroine's avenger status a bit more heroic. In the ending, the heroine received popular support, which also enabled the film to achieve the purpose of satirizing and exposing social problems, and at the same time increased the degree of "coolness".

The only shortcoming is that she didn't explain clearly how the heroine changed from an ordinary person to an agent-level fighting goddess. This gives people the feeling of "opening up" in an instant, thus losing part of the sense of substitution for the heroine.

Women, economically poor families, this is another "politically correct" setting. Watching the comments, there are many netizens who score low because they are tired of "political correctness." In many cases, "political correctness" is a mediator of social conflicts. It allows us to learn to seek common ground while reserving differences, to be decent, to treat different people, and not to offend each other. But it cannot solve the deep-seated problem of unfair resource allocation. It even weakens the original sharp contradiction and weakens the motivation to change the status quo. But "political correctness" can't solve problems, and "political incorrectness" can't solve the problems even more. On the contrary, it makes the problem more serious. To solve the problem, we need to go further on the basis of "political correctness" and promote the solution of social problems.

I would like to say that if we only treat "political correctness" as a topic that emerges out of thin air, and fail to see the objective problems in reality, such as rich and poor, unfair distribution of resources, as well as ordinary people’s fear of gangsters and worries about social injustice, Naturally, I can't understand the coolness of this film.

Because it pokes the missing point of everyone's inner desire. When we are dissatisfied with reality and unable to completely change it, then the heroes in the movie represent our inner hope. The movie itself is not enough to change society, but it can increase our inner motivation. At least it can relieve some of the depression brought by reality.

Of course you can feel bad, but I feel good.
