The massive action scenes such as the Battle of Themyscira and the charging of the trench are just another example of what makes Wonder Woman an amazing film. Overall, with its sense of humor, exhilarating soundtrack, and thrilling action scenes, Wonder Woman is an extremely enthralling movie that should be viewed by all.

In contrast to the traditional princess story, Wonder Woman is a female ruler that does not require a male figure to protect her. An instance of this is when Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor are confronted by German spies in a London alleyway. Usually in this situation, the male character would come to the rescue and save the helpless woman, but instead, Wonder Woman leaps into action by deflecting the bullets and knocking the spies out. This uplifting depiction of a self-dependent female is a timely message that shows that not all women need a man to save them, and makes Wonder Woman a film that all should see. In conclusion, Wonder Woman is a masterpiece of modern cinematography that is must watch film for everyone because of several reasons. First, it is just an extremely entertaining film with quips, suspenseful soundtrack, and amazing action scenes. Next, it teaches the timeless moral lesson of being willing to sacrifice oneself in order to save others. Finally, it depicts Wonder Woman as a woman that needs no man to save her. Because of the following reasons, I would choose Wonder Woman out of the numerous film masterpieces as the movie that everyone in my generation should

    This film is definitely an extremely amazing historical film. "Anne of the Thousand Days" showcases the lies of a "leggy girl" to the downfall of the lioness Anne Boleyn. Without Geneviève Bujold, this film would fail at showing the witty and intelligent queen at the time in her life that was the most scandalous; Bujold portrays Boleyn as a witty and provocative girl as well as showing her as a hurt and power-hungry woman who's swift actions are no match for the lies and rumors of the English court in the 16th century. Richard Burton's performance as Henry VIII is amazing as well and shows that the famous monarch was a misogynistic dolt who only thought of women as the producers of his future heir. While the film's historical accuracy is…

    Citizen Kane is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest film of all time, and while I find the notion of labeling one movie as “the greatest film ever made” a bit overzealous, the contributions that Citizen Kane made to the film industry and the impact that it had on the audiences in its era is remarkable. Citizen Kane a substantial influence on the audience and the film industry through its use of innovative narrative style and technical cinematic elements that may not have been widely used in classic Hollywood cinema. The narrative style of Citizen Kane challenged the traditional Hollywood narrative by developing the story through the use of flashbacks and first person voice over narration from different characters throughout the movie. Each character, from Jed Leland, Kane’s “friend”, to Susan Kane, Kane’s second wife, to Jerry Thompson, the reporter looking for the meaning behind Kane’s last words, all contribute an aspect of Mr. Kane’s life in the form of a flashback.…

    A superhero, male or female, is someone who chooses to protect the world from any danger it may face. Why then does society view a male superhero as fulfilling his destiny and a female superhero as defying expectations? Gloria Steinem, an American feminist and activist, discusses in her essay, “Wonder Woman,” that the introduction of a female superhero in media brought about an empowerment in women in a time when she was needed the most. Wonder Woman was a heroine in the making, but not without facing and overcoming objectification and limitations instituted by governing bodies or individuals. Similarly, Julie D. O’Reilly, an Associate Professor of Communication and Women's and Gender Studies, analysis in her article, “The Wonder Woman Precedent:…

    Women had started fighting for gender equalities way before the term “feminism” was listed in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1852. They spoke up and proved their abilities to the world by marching and rebelling. The first-wave of feminism started from the 18th century, and it was mainly focused on the voting and property rights for females. The Second-Wave feminism began in the 1960s, and the focus shifted from suffrage to issues such as workplace, reproductive rights, and domestic violence.…

A great comic book takes place in a world that is similar to the real world but with an added twist which has a profound but believable effect on its world. With such a heavy inspiration from the real world, it is not surprising that the world of comic books has similar social issues to that of the real world.

    A wonder woman is a woman who continuously does her job, is successful and shows the world that no matter what the situation may be, she gets the job done. When working hard and trying to achieve a goal, there will always be bumps in the road that will try to stop you from getting where you need to be. In my opinion, Presidential candidate, now President elect, Donald Trump was trying to push Hillary Clinton back during the campaign, but a wonder woman can’t be stopped by an egocentric man. During the presidential election, Donald Trump said many things about Clinton that opened my eyes.…

    “Wonder Woman” by Gloria Steinem is an essay about comic books having power in everyday life. Comics book tend to only be about super-heroes that save the day—but those super-heroes are men. Wonder Woman is the first female super-hero to be published continually since comic books began. Steinem mentions that Wonder Woman is a gateway for young girls to believe that they do not need to rely on men to save them—but they themselves can save the day. “Comic books have power because they are not part of the ‘serious’ grown-up world.”…

    The narrative of a woman Throughout history war has been depicted as a man’s war. Rarely are women shown as equals to their male counterparts, or at least capable of defending themselves or their love ones. But the narrative of a weak woman is a false one, far from the truth that is shown in movies. In my opinion Pan’s Labyrinth is an example of how women are often depicted as weak and invisible during times of war.…

    In “The Female Link: Citation and Continuity in Watchmen” by Erin M. Keating, the author adds to the discussion of women in comics by negating that Watchmen was not an example of “the revisionary superhero narrative” because women were still being represented as conservative. Watchmen does not address the societal gender identities but rather it continues the gendered identities that were already in comic books. “In Adult Comics: An Introduction, Roger Sabin describes women in comic books as ‘‘invariably either plot devices (there to be rescued) or sex symbols (all plunging necklines and endless legs)’’. The author describes that Wonder Women was created as a sex symbol to appeal to male leadership by her creator, William Marston. Unlike Wonder…
