In 1912, the time of the story happened on the eve of the First World War (1914). In 1907, Britain, France and Russia formally established a military alliance to correspond to the German, Austrian and Italian front. This move further deepened the tension in Europe. , Countries have begun an unprecedented arms race, because the munitions are strong, which stimulates economic growth, so in the film, Arthur (capitalist) said that his daughter’s marriage is a perfect time, because it is in the stage of economic growth, and in Eva (female host) The leading strike happened after Arthur's company received an unprecedented large order, which is estimated to be related to military supplies. 1. The rise and suppression of feminism has been mentioned many times in the film. In the face of Arthur’s insulting language, eva said, "You would not talk to me like this. If I were a man, you would not pay me such a salary. Less if I were a man". But women’s strikes also show the rise of feminism on the one hand. (1910, that is, the year when the eva strikes in the film happened to be the year when a certain convention determined that March 8th was the International Women’s Day) 2. The greed and exploitation of capitalists. At that time, the environment was the fruits of the industrial revolution and was fully enjoyed by capitalists. Society There is no universal welfare at all. In order to oppress the rural population to go to cities and work in factories, capitalists use various methods to deprive farmers of their land. Therefore, thousands of rural girls like Eva have to leave their homes and go to factories in big cities. Exploitation of capitalists. In factories, capitalists have the absolute right to speak and suppress wages so low that the strikers rely on their savings to survive even a few weeks (all Arthur is very confident that the workers will return to work next Monday), I don’t know. Have you noticed a scene where child labor is also employed in this factory (at 19 minutes and 38 seconds, when everyone returned to work, a child-like female worker appeared in the scene), which shows the severity of the exploitation.
