"Kim Ji-young, born in 1982", a film that reflects the unfair treatment of women in contemporary Korean society.
The name Kim Ji-young is the highest repetition rate in South Korea in the 80s, she used the most ordinary life experience to tell us about the more or less prejudice and discrimination that most women in today's era will encounter, after watching this film, women can find themselves in it, and men should also thank your mother and wife who are worried about you.
Jin Zhiying, an ordinary girl, has an older sister and a younger brother in the family. From an early age, both her father and grandmother were too fond of her brother, and she grew up in such an environment.
When I was a child, I was bullied by a little boy, but what I got was that he was just playing with you, so he liked you. When she was tailed by bad guys in junior high school, she was not comforted by her father, but asked her not to wear a short skirt. If all this can only be regarded as a twist and turn on the road to growth, the moment she enters the workplace, the potential discrimination against women in real society has just begun.
For women themselves, from 2020 to the previous thirty years, the public's view of women is completely different when it comes to work and family.
The development of society and the improvement of people's consciousness have gradually increased the status of women, but even so, there are still countless people who think that a good woman should be at home to teach her children, should choose a stable job, and should not run around like a man.
Just like Zhiying's sister in the film, she was forced to give up her dream and become a teacher, only because of the stable work of her family and the ability to better contribute to the family, how many families are poor in real life, how many children there are in the family, and the girl, step by step, has been arranged by others to live her own life. I don't know if they dreamed back in the middle of the night, remembering whether they had regretted that they had not pursued their dreams.
Invisible discrimination in the workplace is not something you can solve with your efforts, and Zhiying strives to find his own direction in the workplace, even if he is discriminated against and despised, he has not given up. Eventually, under the impetus of her elders and the pressure of society, she became pregnant, and naturally she was greeted by the resignation of work.
Obviously, the family formed by the two is naturally forced to stop their work, and it is naturally the women's side with low wages. After a woman becomes pregnant, it is not easy to return to the workplace.
Isolation from society for a year or even years, if the company and family are in trouble at the same time, which party you will take care of, these have become the most realistic problems, so most women can not find the original job, or even forced to return to the family, it is also like this, Jin Zhiying suffered from schizophrenia, her inner has been eroded, leaving only the surface of the empty shell.
In this film, we do not explore whether it is not easy for men, because in the social environment, it is still women who are discriminated against because of gender factors.
Many critics of this, saying that how can anyone be so unfortunate, the pain in life is put on her alone, but in the real world, Jin Zhiying is already a very lucky girl, she is subject to unfair treatment from society, and even there are discrimination incidents in life, but she at least has a mother who is willing to fight for her, and a husband who can understand his wife's pain and reflect on himself.
In real life, some women are all day long with housework, making various plans for the family, dealing with the relationship between relatives and various troubles, but they may encounter the husband's incomprehension, they feel that you don't have to do anything, these simple things to do more and what is wrong.
In this society, the most unfair treatment of women is to give birth and be forced to return to the family. A child is born, symbolizing hope, but in some families, it also symbolizes the life that the mother is about to start working.
May every girl work hard enough to sweep away the bumps in the road ahead and achieve her own dreams.
