The Women - Say what you want, I thought it was a great movie. That being said, a lot of people will leave the cinema thinking the movie was stupid or "just a stupid chick flick" but in reality, the movie has a deep, personal message, "What is a woman's true identity?". I found that this movie covered ALL aspects within a woman's life ranging from child birth to the media's influence on teenagers, to adulthood to marriage to mother hood to aging and so on and so forth. Even issues such as adultery and homosexuality are discussed.
This movie is very philosophical as it conveys a message to all women, "Who are you? What do YOU want?". Personally, I find that a lot of women are bound by society in the fact that they take on roles such as "mother", "sister" or "daughter". Usually, you find men being defined in terms of their occupation or interests whereas women are thrown into the nurturing roles such as "mother" or "daughter". This movie questions this label and turns it upside down.
An interesting note, there are no men in this movie. There are definite mentions of men, but there are no men in this movie. And Bette Midler's character is also another subtly in this movie as she really brought the question, "Who are you?" into the limelight.
Overall, a great movie to show a class interested in Women Studies and the like.
Vantage Point - A very interesting, fast-paced movie with a very dramatic opening! I would really recommend this movie if you like action and suspense. I hope to watch it again soon
Really? I could not stand that movie. I had to shut it off half way.
