    It was given 4 stars on the ODEON website, so decided to check it out. The accent is a little uncomfortable, but if there is a DVD version, I will consider taking a picture and watch it slowly. Based on real events, the British town in 1968, the scene is very characteristic of the era, the number of female workers in the male sovereign world is only as small as a dot, the simple working environment, unequal treatment, the favorite heroine said "EVERYBODY" ~...

    Compared with similar feminist themes, this film is joyful and always uplifting, not to mention his suffering family conflicts, not to his literary emphasis, the director's sensitivity and wonderful control of the group drama make it all look like a female party. This is a great performance art!...

    As long as there is a dream, it will come true

    A film about the feminist movement. As a representative of female workers, Rita performed very well. Women's tenacity, perseverance, perseverance, and finally victory - a bloody plot, although this is a true story. What impresses me about the film is its details. As sung at the end of the film: as...

    Young women, go see Made In Dagenham (spoiler)

    I argued with a foreign friend yesterday. In his opinion, China should recognize same-sex marriage (the United Kingdom recognizes partnership).
    I said, it takes time, in Eastern society, it takes time.

    Coincidentally, I watched the movie Made In Dagenham in the evening. Children born in the 1980s...

Made in Dagenham quotes

  • [following her talk with Rita, Connie and the rest of the Dagenham women, Barbara Castle makes a statement to the waiting journalists]

    Barbara Castle: I am delighted to announce that, following our talks this afternoon, the 187 Ford machinists *will* be going back to work on the 1st of July. They will receive an immediate pay rise of seven pence an hour which will put them at 92 percent of the male rate. However this is not all. As a result of our discussion, I can confirm that the Government is in full support of the creation of an Equal Pay Act, and by the autumn of this year I guarantee appropriate legislation to ensure that this act becomes law!

  • [Peter Hopkins is entertaining Ford boss Robert Tooley at home. He clearly regards Lisa as a wife whose only purpose is to look pretty and to be a cook, but Robert sounds out her opinions]

    Robert Tooley: Lisa. Do you mind if I call you Lisa? You must have quite a head on your shoulders. Peter tells me that you read history at Cambridge.

    Lisa Hopkins: [nervously] Yes I did.

    Robert Tooley: Mind if I ask: what do you think of our little problem over at the factory? Do you think maybe he's a bit too much velvet glove, not enough iron fist?

    Lisa Hopkins: Not at all, no. Quite the opposite, actually. Look at Vauxhall. *They* don't have any problems with the unions. And that seems to be because General Motors have a more collaborative approach to management. Whereas at Ford you only deal with the unions because you *have* to. You tolerate them. And as a result they're more entrenched and they're aggressive in their dealings with you.

    [Robert and Peter look speechless]

    Robert Tooley: [patronisingly] Well that's a very *progressive* point of view.
