I had the
opportunity to see the movie Wonder Woman this weekend, it was phenomenal and
sorely needed right now. The movie seemed to work miracles that even that old
curmudgeon Max would approve of. The
audience cried, felt empowered, & though we were told there was no clip at
the end of the credits, the we remained in our seats and read them. Most of us wanted
to know what actors portrayed the amazons, who the costumers and set designers
were who meticulously helped tell this story. People were that invested in this movie.
As for the
character herself, Wonder Woman, her greatest assets were emotional
intelligence & compassion. She displayed bravery and a steadfast nature
that was everything this fan could have hoped for, and more. This film did not
shy away from the darker emotions of anger and grief. They were not only
acknowledged but used to highlight both sides of human nature. Wonder Woman and
her team embraced diversity and communicated the message that everyone can
chose to do the right thing.
