That was an excellent one.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The women is a great movie and comedy. It informs you of self worth and what you deserve and the difficulties of dealing with a cheating man. Its covered throughout with comedy though with Mrs. haynes best friends certain characters ! Silvia being the best, best friend she has ! If it was not for her she wouldn't have known about Stevens affair and she the most round character in the movie. The fashion was also interesting as well , seeing the way it was staged back in the 1930's. Great film. !
2/28/18. While this was a National Film Registry pick, I just found it to be very dated and hard to get into. Women are not like this anymore, but then again, they do reflect the aspirations of and expectations for women of their time. Watch it if you are interested in what it's like to live in the '30s. Only Cinema can allow you to do that!
This film was wonderful. It should the lives of women and how the change and adapt. It reflected the changing of social norms that were happening in the 30's and 40's. The main actress did a phenomenal job with her performance and her character embodies the change in how women expected to treated by men. They were not going to walked all over anymore and taken for granted. They had worth and value that and that the men in their lives better take notice or they were going to be left behind. What was truly amazing about this film was the fact that not a single male was present in body. There were male characters but you don't see their faces or here their faces. Having an all lady cast was great to better show that they were the focus of this film not the men. Men played a role but the women were the focus. The film did a great job in showing the different roles of women and developed the characters very well. The cast was great. The were quick and showed the intelligence and sass and power of a women and her words. The film was a crucial film in the history of cinema because of how successful it was of a all lady cast and in showing the change in social norms and roles of ladies.
It's a movie about women but not about woman's rights. The whole movie is made with black and white color but except the fashion show. I think there is no need for that only making the fashion show part with color. This colorful show doesn't have any specific meaning for this movie. It attracts my attention only because it is colorful. I think light setting in this movie is perfect! A lot of high lights directly polish the actress's face. Also these lights help to show the difference between different characters. Mary always looks nice and kind because the setting of lights for Mary is from her back. But Sylvia is the contrast of Mary, so light setting for her is sharp and harmful. And the clothes shows the subconscious for characters. Mary always wears skirts and home-style dress to imply that she likes her family and wants her husband back to her.
