Please don't use your patriarchal ideology to influence others

The relatively high proportion of men in China all have a common consciousness: women are just appendages and followers of men. In their consciousness, they believe that women do not have the thinking ability of men, and this society must be dominated by men. Their opinions cannot be influenced by women, let alone questioned by women. They even feel that women's questioning is an insult to their dignity.

I'm so sick of this theory: don't women have a plan for their own life, and their abilities are inferior to men's? Many women, they do not have the willpower to stick to their ideas, but choose to compromise for the sake of their families. When I sit with my family elders or some friends who are particularly patriarchal to discuss this topic, I often get restless and want to pat the table and reason with them about it. I also have some machismo, but I would never go against a woman just because she doesn't agree with her.

Jasmine has practiced skiing for herself since she was a child, and even the bloody chiropractic surgery did not make her feel terrified. Even though she will be nervous because of her injury at critical moments, she still calculates every detail of the game clearly and accurately. It's her talent, and she uses her talent to the max.

Entering the poker game, she went from an organization service staff that had nothing to do with the poker game to taking increasing risks to build the most top poker party. But in this link, she is completely different from the rabble in the poker game: she retains a conscience and kindness from beginning to end. She wants to carry out normal business activities in her own way. When a boss and a partner wanted to make more profit through ugly ways, she resolutely opposed it, but was greatly insulted by the two people. This detail reflects the normal social normality: Is it true that women's careers are so brilliant that they must be successful by selling their souls? This patriarchal society, which is measured by sex, has given women too much insult.

I am riddled with holes, but I use my penniless power to maintain the family and career established by those who once relied on their hard work. There is a book opportunity to make more money in front of you, but in order to protect the reputation of someone who has nothing to do with him but has done a lot of evil. She is a genius, but she has never relied on her talent to be defiant.

The male mindset I admire is Molly's father and a black lawyer. "Behind every Olympian, there is an extremely strict father." His father's strictness is what Jasmine relies on to maximize her talent. He's not a liar, heartless, or selfish. For the sake of her daughter's words "I don't believe in marriage", I was ashamed with perseverance that ordinary people could not achieve, and personally proved to my daughter that there is no shortage of partners who trust each other and depend on each other in the world. When he said that he wanted to avenge his daughter, the heart of an ordinary loving father shone brightly. A man's greatest mind and spirit is to protect a woman in anger when she is most helpless.

Some film critics said that Jasmine's life is not legendary enough, because she is talented. In my opinion, the life of a genius who is always kind-hearted is a legend.

    I think the reason why I like Sorkin is not that he writes a lot of lines and no nonsense, but that his works always reveal the complex and weak roots of men and praise the brilliance of women's independence and freedom

    It's not "Ms. Sloan" at all, but both this film and "Sloan" can become a screenwriting textbook on female characters in contemporary China. The film defends its principles even better than the often-proposed male characters. The last three questions of the disappearing father have reached a climax relying on the screenwriting and performance. They are very superb. This dialogue is better than the one in "Call Your Name", which is beneficial, and this is beneficial.
