The movie was so powerful I wondered if things would be better if every corporate executive and politician got to watch it.
The movie asserted the importance of treating all people decently without any artificial speeches or distracting overdramatization.
Considering that union leaders can be just as flawed and self-serving as any corporate executive, it was inspiring to learn that Arnoux is a real life labor activist in addition to her role here. Some of the best moments (in addition to the father-son relationship) showed how she could quickly forgive people for treating her unfairly in order to work with them for the common good, and how she reached out to the father in a painful moment instead of being absorbed in her own agenda.
