Starting from three characters, pay attention to three issues:
1. Claudia: The gender structure also exists as well as the race structure. In the feminist revolution, what role should the disadvantaged groups play in the race structure and how should they be considered?
The development of the feminist movement in the United States is indeed intertwined with the struggle for the rights of ethnic minorities to a certain extent, but as shown in the film, white women are indeed more "assuming" than ethnic minorities, and they tend to ignore this. Kind of difference. Vivian was obviously dissatisfied with Claudia's initial caution. Because she has no scruples, she hopes that the revolutionary spirit of the people around her will be as "thorough" as hers. This is what we often observe when many ideological trends and revolutions sweep society: the most "advanced" people may sneer at those who are not "advanced" or "thorough" enough, without considering other backgrounds and backgrounds behind them. Situation. Although there is no racial structure in our country, there is an urban-rural structure, a rich-poor structure-women who live in cities, have higher education, and have high incomes, obviously naturally have greater choice and voice. This heterogeneity should be considered in feminist activities.
2. Kiera: What is the position of individual autonomy and subjectivity in the revolution?
Kiera was promoted as a scholarship candidate by other feminist students and became the first female candidate in this high school, bearing or representing the will of feminism. But it is worth noting that she was not very willing to be such a role at the beginning. What the film wants to express for her portrayal is that she may be a little low-key and "sorry" at the beginning-of course, she herself hopes to win this award later. But taking a step back, suppose she is not really willing? What if she has the same worries as Claudia? As a black woman, she would naturally consider more. But before she showed her will, other people had actually pushed her to this position, and she became the "iconic" figure in this feminist activity. In some sports, people may pin their hopes on a person like Kiera, hoping that she can do something, but the parties' wishes may not be emphasized and valued enough. This may be worthy of caution and reflection-in a revolution, those who participate should have full autonomy to choose, rather than becoming puppets of the will of others.
3. Seth: Does the feminist revolution need men? Is the support of men important?
The role of Seth is my biggest flaw in the film. Since Vivian made the first booklet, Seth's "support" has moved her very much-I think the heartbeat in the sexual sense is more accurate than saying "inspired". After the two people quarreled, Seth said that I have always supported you in these activities and you only used me as a punching bag. This sentence really made me laugh. Think about it carefully, is there any practical support for Seth? In fact, there is not much; and like later he stood up and nominated Kiera, how much is out of support for the feminist movement itself, and how much is out of the need to make Seth more Like him, there is no way to know. However, the performance and portrayal of the film gave rise to a kind of guidance. There will also be supporters of feminism among men, and men are also very important to the feminist movement. This kind of guidance. It's not that there are no feminists among men, nor that men are useless, but in life I think the role of men has been overvalued and exaggerated. Although there may also be true feminists among men, to be honest, most men who claim to support feminism are worthy of vigilance-some people just talk about it (anyway, there is no cost to him ), but no actual actions have been seen; and some people simply use such labels to win women’s favor.
