Wonder Woman review


A movie that kicks ass just as much as the main character.

The movie Wonder Woman hit cinemas earlier this year on June 2nd and took the world by storm. It stars the lovely Gal Gadot who can also be known as Giselle in some films in the Fast and Furious franchise. This movie received many positive ratings due to its ability to break down barriers against sexism including doubts some people had with the female director. It is said to be known as one of the best superhero movies of the year as well as being called one of the best films in the DC Extended Universe. It includes a great mixture of action and girl power which I think makes it fair to say that this movie is influential to its female audience.

So, what makes this movie so powerful? 

This movie in unlike your average superhero film. To start off the main character is a woman and the background basis of the story conveys a deeper representation of women and girl power than most films have before. As well as the film being directed by a woman, it shows something different as the roles are in reverse. The main character is a woman with a male sidekick, which is unlike what we are used to seeing in tv and film today. By having a dominant female character, it allows the film to represent feminism and the idea that girls are just as good when it comes to kicking bad guy asses. It was said that the director had to fight to keep a particular scene called no man’s land in order for it to make the cut.

Films like these are so important in today’s day and age as it spreads a good message about feminism and girl power. It has the potential to inspire some of the younger generations of girls and women as they have strong female figures to look up to and admire. It is a coming of the age film that has the potential to break down sexist barriers in Hollywood and in general.

Is Australian TV Guilty of Whitewashing?

Image
It's time to wake up Australia. As we come to a day and age where large countries such as Australia are becoming more multicultural, you have to ask yourself whether Australian tv is behind on the times. Of course these days they are more open about showing contestants on reality shows of a more diverse background, but still Australian made dramas such as Home and Away and Neighbours have yet to catch up with the rest of the world and the current Australia. Home and Away and Neighbours have been Australian soap opera favourites bringing the sense of drama into households since the early 80's. As Australia is transforming and becoming more diverse and multicultural, its weird to see that two Australian classics have yet to catch up in the sense of multiculturalism. Most if not all actors and actresses on the show are potentially  originally light skinned (without those tans from being a show set on the beach) and come from an Austra...
