Women who break into a man's world, at this point, resonated with me.
She joined the CIA after graduating from college, and has been engaged in intelligence analysis for 12 years, most of which was spent in pursuit of bin Laden. When everyone was at a loss, feeling desperate and even fleeing, she persisted in searching through the vast sea of information and intelligence, and finally found the trace of bin Laden. But at the intelligence meeting, she could only sit in the corner. When the men in the room were arguing and disagreeing, she gave clear information and judgment. "I found it." The meeting ended immediately, and all the men quickly left the meeting room tacitly, leaving her alone, alone. More than 100 days have passed without further action, except for satellite surveillance of the suspected bin Laden's hideout. Only she was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, suffering.
When it was finally time to act, the SEALs questioned the reliability of the intelligence, and they had a right because they were the ones on the front line. She can only bear the enormous pressure alone.
During the action, she still could only sit on one side, as if the whole action had nothing to do with her at all.
The action was a success, the men cheered and slammed their shoulders in congratulations. Occasionally someone glanced at her with admiration in their eyes, but the celebration of victory had nothing to do with her, just because she was a woman who broke into the world of men.
At the end of the mission, she took a large transport plane to go home. A man's voice came from deep in the far cabin: "You are awesome!" The pilot would not come and shake her hand, because she was a woman who broke into the world of men.
She was in tears, sitting alone in the empty cabin, crying. for victory? For liberation? For your lost youth? The life that a woman who is already a stranger should have?
Although as a CIA, she shares a common goal with her colleagues, struggles together, and sweats with blood, but it is difficult for her to integrate into it, and she feels lonely because she is a woman, a woman who broke into the world of men.
The director must be a woman! Sure enough, she was also a woman who broke into the world of men.
