One word about this film: "Fantastic". In my opinion, a classic. It's just thoughtful, funny, witty and interesting. I can easily watch it many times, and I actually have. ❤👍
As someone who makes his living cleaning other people’s messes (and I work professionally), I can assure you there are just as many men who have followed with buckets as women. History doesn’t acknowledge anyone in that role. I would recommend, however, to respect those people going forward. You will need them at some point.
it's more of a metaphorical bucket. she's not talking about the working class, she's talking about women, in general, having to deal with the messes caused by (predominantly) male leaders
Ah yes, those poor women in 1919, just arranging the flowers, then getting to gracefully retire. If only they had been so lucky to spend 4 years getting their arms, legs, and heads blown off in a trench, up to their knees in mud, blood, and shit, feeling rats the size of ferrets crawl over them at night, their uniforms writhing with uncounted lice. Truly, history is quite the frolic for men.
I'm afraid you are missing the point. History is not a particular war or any other events that has happened, it is essentially a story told by men to their children in case they started asking where did they come from. And women just want their roles in the story. Nobody wants to be the background singer for 5 centuries, it just feels depressing and unfair. (I know it has been a year sorry.
Also, I believe it is the case that men, most notably from privilege, sent those men overwhelmingly from the lower classes to war. Many women, from both past and present, would like the chance to make those decisions and to die for causes, but they're relegated to 2nd class citizenry. Perhaps women have been, most notably, following behind with the bucket after all.
@@thesaint8400 Well, an appeal to book-reading is slightly below the belt, given that you have virtually no information about me or my level of textual knowledge. That being said, you are absolutely right, ineptitude truly does pierce all (not both) genders. But, you see, this is where book reading doesn't save you, and that's from trying to bleed absurdly stupid interpretations from rather simple statements: they are not implying ineptitude isn't found in all genders, they are implying that history is thronged with men being inept, and this is true, and is disproportionally true for men, who have, objectively, and any book of any history can corroborate this, held the vast majority of positions of power throughout a very failure-ridden history. Women haven't failed as much if only for the fact that they haven't had the chance, otherwise, it would likely have been the same. So, instead of telling strangers to read books, perhaps you could be reading one yourself. It might help elevate your future pathetic insults.
