Starting from the casts, feminism is already introduced because the film gave women an
oppurtunity to portray the leading casts. In view of this, it advocates that leading roles with
strong and brave characters can also be set upon women.
On the beginning of the film, Nicole Cayman was set to be the president of where the Settman's
resides. Using the lens of feminism, it is already certain that women empowerment is already
portayed in this scene because it tells a message that women can also have leadership.
However, Ms. Cayeman embodies bad leadership because she implemented the One Child
Policy due to the rise of population. This law states that one child can only be beared on each
married couple.
The main casts, which are the Settman sisters, has a unique character and has unlike
personaties given that they are septuplets.
As their personality and character of the Settman sisters are being introduced on the scene
where they had dinner, some of them had a feminine personality whereis others have a strong
character. This also shows that women are not obliged to be feminine all the time. As they
should be free to dictate on what they should be, how they look like, and how they portray
themselves to others. However, since the one child policy was implemented they had no choice
but to mask their identity in order to survive.
When the government discovered that they were septuplets, they instantly hunt them down.
Killing each and every one of them. Usually in the movies the guys would often save the girl but
in this film, I am delighted that they advocate women empowerment because the sisters
practically worked together in order to protect their family. They couldn't ask for help so they
protected each other. This scene literally shows feminism because the Settman sisters showed
that they can be the hero of their own.
As for the men, I like the scene where the father drives into tears after cutting the finger on
each of her daughters. This just proves that men, especially fathers, are not obliged to not
express themselves. Crying wouldn't make them any less of a person.
Overall, this film certainly advocates feminism because from the casting and plot of the movie
promotes equality and encourage women such as myself that I too can also be brave, strong,
and independent. I've also learned that like the Settman sisters, to stand for each other and
help build each other. It is time to put an end of women always competing with whom has the
best clothes, talent, face etc. but instead, embrace the uniqueness within ourselves.
