What
magnificent Amazons the women are in this film.
Robin Wright, in the role of Antiope, the military leader of the Amazons, is absolutely wonderful as she twists and turns in the air to send a fury of
arrows at the German soldiers attacking their invisible island. Connie Nielsen, as Queen Hippolyta, is
majestic and vulnerable as she tries to control and guide the young princess
Diana towards her destiny as Wonder woman.
Even Chris
Pine, who portrays pilot Steve Trevor, is made more humane and manly in the
presence of such awesome women. I
totally loved the choreography of the island battle. Even as they battle, we watch the warrior women
perform incredible feats, but never once do we even consider that it’s about
prowess or superior skills or just plain winning. Director Patty Jenkins made choices which encourage
us to see instead the generous spirit of these women who only want to honor
life and save the world. The CGI effects
are excellent.
Once Wonder
Woman leaves the island behind and enters the WW II scenario, she still
embodies that sense of spiritual and moral strength which define her Amazonian heritage. Gal Gadot is beautiful and strong and
steadfast as Diana Prince, Wonder Woman. There is no arrogance in her possession of
enhanced fighting skills.
The best
thing about this movie, though, is the human focus on the big picture. Patty Jenkins understands the true female
spirit: that when it comes to protecting
and defending those we love, women are fearless and fierce.
