Suffragette (2015)
A great reminder of what we still face.
I will be honest with you, Suffragette is not a great movie, not funny like made in Dagenham, probably not a good one as well and the accent of these ladies is pretty tough, but it is still a great testimony of a really important part of our History! We should keep that in our minds when we watch our mothers, our sisters, our friends and our lovers. We should keep in mind that this fight is not over yet, that there are many things to come and we should work together to create and maintain a fair society for everybody. However, let's be truly honest with ourselves! Where are the feminists nowadays? Who has the courage to declare her/himself a feminist? And for what? Do we really need that? Just for few countries in the world that you probably never visit in your life? If you ever thought these questions without catching what is wrong now in our global society, I will give you just one reason, because you ought to yourself as a human being. Enlightening is the end of the movie with the precise dates when women gain the right to vote in each country.
The Danish Girl (2015)
True Story of a courageous pioneer!
I've just finished to watch "the danish girl", a really good movie, and for good I mean well done and with a great story behind, a quite original true story. The story of two artist Gerda Wegener and Einar M.A. Wegener, later Lili Elbe the first transgender woman. In the movie we are introduced to the transformation of Einar in Lili helped by the lovely and strong Gerda. A change conditioned by the limit of our social customs, our psychological knowledge and our medicine. This last probably put the word end to a tragic and lonely existence. Nevertheless, this fragile and complicated life opened a new world that had given relief and it is still giving hope to many persons. Whether you consider or not despicable the hard decision of changing sex, anyway I still think all the human beings deserve a true feeling of empathy for the melancholy and sadness of our lives. Loneliness, incompatibility, rejection and friendship, this movie will touch your heart in many different ways.
