Should points be awarded or deducted for the female element of a movie?

To say that women's rights are not yet in place, I think this film is essentially a women's film. As far as I understand it, the demands of women's rights have become more real and essential in recent years, which has directly spawned some very feminine movies, and this Molly's Game is one of them. But if I had to say, she was too explicit, and it felt like the film was for women and for women. In fact, the film itself is still pretty good, with remarkable rhythm and narrative. As a biopic, it is not only not boring, but also a bit exciting. The three views are not very crooked, and there are touching and inspirational places. Just after watching it, I suddenly realized that this film is for showing women, and her intentions as a hardcore feminist are too obvious. If there is such a modern woman in another story, I feel good, but this kind of film is made to express women, I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel that the film has lost its original meaning. Oh, anyway, I'm also a straight man of steel, and I don't quite understand the attitude of political correctness without overdoing it when it comes to women's topics.

    The performance of the model worker is the biggest highlight, and perhaps the only one. The rhythm is fast but the whole thing is long and procrastinated, which shows that Sorkin did not cut down the complicated and simple, and that all the nonsense of the bombardment is really meaningless, and it just makes the film more bloated. A mature screenwriter cannot save a rookie director, especially when both appear as the same person. "The Social Network" > "Steve Jobs" > "Jasmine's Game".

    Sorkin is very persistent in showing his love for the myth of the 1960s that "no matter how smart and independent women are, they can't lead middle-aged men to survive".

  • Charlie Jaffey: You know, I don't like this picture.

    Molly Bloom: Thank you.

    Charlie Jaffey: You look like the cat that ate the canary and then told the canary's parents about it.

  • Molly Bloom: [narrating]

    [about Player X]

    Molly Bloom: He played tight, didn't give a lot of action and always got his money in good, which means he was running the odds. In other words, he was playing poker and the others were gambling. And he won.
