One of my friends highly recommended the documentary to me. She said it was so good, and she saw it twice. I was laughing and crying when watching it. The most moving part is Ginsburg's marriage with her husband. He was a successful tax lawyer in NY but he gave it up because of her wife. He took care of kids and house work when she was pursuing her career goals. He supported her and encouraged her to be a justice in the Court. What a wonderful guy! I love my wife, and this really resonated with me. This documentary provides some insight into Ginsburg's life before she was a judge. She really did something to change the legal scope of women rights in 1970s. The most impressive case is the widower case. She was so smart that she chose a man to demonstrate gender discrimination hurts everyone no matter you are a woman or a man. The end of the documentary is a scene that a host ask Ginsburg a question that if she regretted not having stepped down during the Obama administration. She replied she would not resign unless she could not do her job. I think she does not regret about that. She may not concern about whether she can insist on 3 or 7 years more. Rather, she enjoys every day and every case she fights for.
