Suffragette (2015)
7/10
A movie that is very important historically and inspiring to any one that is involved in any type of ideological fight.

"You want me to respect the law? Then make the law respectable." Maud (Mulligan) is a woman living in England in the early 1900's. She is living her life peacefully and trying not to make waves. Little by little she gets caught up in the suffrage movement and becomes a major player in trying to get women the vote. The movement she is in decides that peace is not the way to get things done, but this violence leads to even more hardship. This is a movie that is very good and important, but hard to watch in some parts. It may be because I was born after women had the right to vote but I found no real reason why they shouldn't in this movie and it really led to me feeling angry. The resolve of these women in the face of total opposition from nearly the entire country only serves to show how important getting the vote really was. A movie that is very important historically and inspiring to any one that is involved in any type of ideological fight. Overall, I really enjoyed this but it is very emotional and one you have to be in the mood for. I give this a B.
