下一场也特别好。既然简要写“一位伟大的美国律师”,RBG决定带着简去拜访RBG特别崇拜的平权女律师KENYON。好让女儿见识一下真正的伟大律师。RBG跟Kenyon说自己要接的Charles Moritz 和税务局的案子。Kenyon认为时机未到,并以她自己的为女性争权益的案子接连败诉为佐证。但是离开后在街上简和冲她们吹口哨出言不逊的建筑工人公开对峙,并且教育妈妈,“Mom. You can’t just let boys talk to you like that. “让RBG意识到,Kenyon判断错误,时代已经变了!以前的失败不代表将来的性别平等案例也会失败。为了女儿她要试一试。这一场很多台词都很棒。有点长,就不引用了。有兴趣的可以去读剧本。
As he wrote the screenplay, Stiepleman made several trips to Washington, D.C., where his aunt granted him access to her files at the Library of Congress. “Then, by night, we would sit together and have dinner and usually polish off a bottle of wine,” he recalled.Aunt Ruthgave detailed notes on his drafts. “I’d call her up, and she’d be, like, ‘Oh, Daniel, I’m in the middle of reading the Affordable Care Act. Can you call me back in twenty minutes?’ And then she’d be, like, ‘O.K., page 1,’ and she’d go through it like a contract. ‘Here you have me wearing high heels at Harvard, but in those days I used to walk to school, so I wouldn’t wear high heels.’” After she saw the film for the first time, she told her nephew, “I just love that it’s joyous.”
The real Justice Ginsburg has saidthat the only thing the movie gets factually wrong is that it portrays her at a momentary loss for words as she addresses the court for the first time. It’s not only the character’s self-confidence that falters there, but also the filmmakers’. Admiring as they are of their heroine’s courage and brilliance in challenging tradition and convention, they can’t help but enshroud her in biopic clichés.
