    Sally Hawkins and other leading and supporting characters accurately restored this important historical event with wonderful group acting skills, raising the standard of the film to a new level. The director carried the retro style throughout, successfully restored the background of the times, and the narrative flowed smoothly, allowing the audience to fully understand the sadness and tears hidden behind all the successes, which played a remarkable inspirational effect....

    after#Iron Lady# became interested in pieces of real-life political themes. The uncommon title of this film is about the story of female workers on strike to fight for equal pay for equal work. The tone of this film is light and nostalgic, and the red dress only appears in the key link, which is dazzling and dazzling. Well, it is time for this woman to take the lead. I don't know what brand of clothing is in the film, so take a good look at it! Also look forward to a piece of paper on the...

    You can get it if you really want it. Based on the historical fact that the female mechanics at Ford Company went on strike for equal pay in the 1960s. The road of feminism started too late and is still faltering. Personally, I think the warning effect of the film is greater than the inspirational effect, because until today, women have not been able to achieve true equal pay for equal...

    In 1968, 178 women workers at Ford's Dagenham plant went on strike, and they finally won equal pay for men and women. They won, and I think two factors are inseparable. First, the Labour Party, which represents the working class, is in power; second, the trade unions stand on the side of the workers and fight for their...

    Do we still have the strength to fight?

    The love is very attractive. The heroine does not look like a heartthrob at first glance, but her inner strength and tenacity are undoubtedly revealed in a cluster of frowns.
    I don't see it as a historical film, and I suggest that you don't compare it to the Celestial Dynasty, otherwise you will...

    Britain in the 1960s

    I like movies with a strong history. The film tells the story of women's struggle for Equal pay in the 1960s. Many places in the film reflect the characteristics of Britain at that time: endless strikes, the gap between working class and the upper class in terms of food, clothing, housing, and...

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.
