Russian girls: 'We don't need feminism'

Both Russian teachers told us: "We don't have feminism in Russia, we don't need it."
Feminism is not needed, because women are given the respect they deserve in this land, they don't need to be higher than men, we There is a lack of complementarity between them: you are strong, you will carry the heavy weight, I will be careful, I will do the needlework; I will do the things I can do well, it will be better if you can help, or we don’t have to care too much about whether we are male or female , but rather the more conspicuous characteristics of the individual, and play to their strengths.
During World War II, the victory of the Soviet Union was inseparable from the efforts of the vast number of women, who ran on the front and rear of the war. In front of the battle, there are excellent pilots, paratroopers, blockers, etc., and there are great engineers in the rear. Of course, female spies are indispensable.
In the 1930s, women in the Soviet Union replaced many men's jobs, achieved a pivotal position, and organized the demand for more rights for women.
I always think that if you want to be respected by others, you must first come up with something that can be respected by others. A person who has no substantial contribution to ask for respect from others is not so much a request as a begging.
At the end of the film, Lyudmila's boss-like character asks her to change her evening dress back to a military uniform, which is disgusted by the old American lady: "She is a girl!" The boss looks serious: "She is a tool of war!"
It is also because of that In special times, as long as you put on your military uniform, no distinction is made between men and women, they all receive the same intensity of training, and they are always ready to sacrifice for the war. You choose this path, you want to be respected by others, and you have to be ready to give, even sacrifice.

    Ordinary biopic, the love war is half open. A few war scenes are okay, but only average for countless war movies. The paradox is, why are the films made by the Russians so beautiful?

    The combination of two-line narratives is not good, often disturbing the audience's emotional brewing, and shooting many scenes in MV to shoot wars will greatly reduce the authenticity (it is not true if there is a broken limb, after all), and the love scenes are too many to focus on the wrong point. Just rewriting Makarov and skipping the others, the female lead isn't capable enough to handle the role, but was startled by a falling frying pan while cooking borsch with Mrs. Roosevelt, and was naked when changing clothes. The back was scarred, and I was moved to consider ignoring the shortcomings; however, the more I watched the later, the more I felt that the ideological output in the film had degraded the film too much. It should be viewed from a more human nature, universal, and moral perspective. There should be no ideological problems, but the film instead emphasizes the superiority of ideology. This is too absurd
