North Country Movie Analysis

Josey who played as a single mother in the film, left her abusive husband and returned to her Northern Minnesota city where she grew up. With her two young kids to support, Josey took a job in the local mine, but not before her old friend Glory, one of the few female miners in town, warned her of the kind of abuse she should expect from the mine's male, staff.

The attack feels worst when you get the feeling that you can't really believe it but then there's that nagging feeling that much of this may not be exaggeration at all. There are also scenes of male workers making sexual comments and jokes at the women. There are also some examples of more awful treatment towards them, including semen in a locker, a dildo in a lunchbox, and offensive words written on walls. Also, there is a rape scene in this movie. The other part of this movie is the legal issues. It's presented in between the remaining scenes and several minutes at the end. Woody Harrelson plays the lawyer whom Josey eventually hires to help file a class action lawsuit against the mining company. In my opinion, there wasn't anything too special about the courtroom drama, but it wasn't too boring either. I do like how some of the characters seem to come together as
