On October 5, 2017, The New York Times published an article that "shocked" Hollywood.

At that time, Harvey Weinstein's favorite thing to do was to call female stars and models to his office.
Because of Harvey Weinstein's status at that time, it was difficult for stars to refuse, especially some small stars, and they did not dare to refuse.
These girls were either terrified, or took advantage of Harvey Weinstein, and eventually went away.
Then in 2013, Harvey Weinstein's career hit Waterloo.
Whether it is his film career or his fashion career, it is not as good as before, the Oscars cannot be won, and his dominance in Hollywood is not as good as before.
In 2017, 8 women came forward and accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.
Later, hundreds of women came forward and accused Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting herself.
As the incident grew bigger, fans of these actresses also stood up, marched against Harvey Weinstein, and his second wife also publicly denounced, and finally left him with his children.
In the end, this big man who was calling for wind and rain in Hollywood, the wall fell and everyone pushed it.
The court also handed down a sentence for his actions - 23 years in prison, Harvey Weinstein is now 71 years old, and if nothing else, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

This film tells the story of two reporters from the New York Times who persistently investigate and expose Harvey Weinstein's alleged crimes of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
"She Says" is similar in style and focuses not on Weinstein or his scandals, but on a story about an all-female team of journalists who persistently break the rules of the game despite the threat of lawsuits and intimidation.
Every victim in the film who wants to talk and stop, every insider who either watches or participates in the handling of the incident, shows different degrees of sadness and gloom.
Some people feel sorry for what happened to them, and some people feel guilty about what happened to others!
Victims are asked to remain silent, forced to shut up by agreement, or intimidated and oppressed by authority.
Insiders are trapped in morality, authority, career, self-preservation... Living for a long time in an environment where absurd and evil acts are observed.
As the investigation deepened, it slowly became clear that women always had to fight for too many wars.
For childbirth, for upbringing, for social status, for their own rights and interests, for gender equality, for long-term male condensation...
No matter when and where this trend can blow, how big a wave it can make in the ocean of male rights, and whether women's rights have been reduced to a label, a new stereotype.
But it awakened the awakening of many women's self-awareness, and also contributed to the opportunity for the world to listen to more different voices, and there are always people who are gritting their teeth and trying to break the game, and the unreluctant pursuit of equal rights under the solid laws of society.
I think that's the most precious thing left to us when the tide of sport receded.
Speaking of the film, no one wants to believe that journalists and media can tell the truth about what happened to them from the beginning, because neither the law nor the police have restricted these perverted behaviors.
In most cases, media exposure can only push itself to the brink of danger and fear, and cannot play a substantial role in changing the situation.
Therefore, the process of investigation advancement has been difficult to imagine.
Long-term indulgence weaves an impermeable web, in which everyone is silent, and everyone in it is a victim and an accomplice.
Everyone is watching and waiting for the brave one, all waiting for the just judgment, but they are all cowering under the shell of Mingzhe's protective body.
The road to the truth is destined to be accompanied by helplessness, loneliness, despair and fear, we have no other way but perseverance and bravery, and female power seems incomparably shining at this time.
We always say that women are more likely to be emotional, perhaps because of such a precious ability to empathize and pity, that they are not humble, disoriented, afraid of power and not afraid of the hopeless abyss on the road to the truth, and it has also aroused the determination of a large number of silent victims to resist.
Girls Help Girls may sound a little outdated and ironic in the current 2022, which is unforeseeable and uncontrollable, but in that gender storm that swept the world, it brings us not only moving and hope, but also more thinking about the future, life, the world, society, and ourselves.
The meaning of this sentence is far more than a slogan, I hope that in the future, the public can be more equipped with the ability to polish their eyes, maintain the belief of hope, the determination to resist, the courage to defy oppression, and be more careful to protect the original intention of the phrase "girls help girls", and do not let stigma overshadow its light.
After watching this movie, I was really in tears.
Finally, thanks to the brave people, people can see darkness and light in a world that does not know what vision is.
I am not a brave person, and I admire them.
But I'm not a cowardly person either, and I strike when it's time to strike.
I hope there will be more movies like this, to make people think, to wake up sleeping people.
Maybe we have little power and may not be able to achieve anything.
But not doing it must be stagnation and retrogression, the development of history is ups and downs, look at this road, do not give up.
