A good movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it did sound intriguing, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be a fascinating story with some very strong characters. On top of that, who would have expected that Wonder Woman came from such a complex background? I had also no idea that the Wonder Woman comic-books were at first so kinky and subversive and it made the character so much more intriguing than she actually was, at least to me. In fact, it was apparently a known fact that William Moulton Marston did indeed live with 2 different women and had children with both of them but there was no record that they actually engaged in some kind of threesome like it was displayed in this movie. However, I think it made these 2 women and the whole agreement between the 3 of them even more intriguing. The main issue I had was probably the lack of context. I mean, to start this kind of relationship(s) today would be definitely challenging but they did it back in the 20’s until the end of the 40’s. Unfortunately, you never get a good idea of how bold and groundbreaking this choice actually was and, instead, they went for some romantic approach which was maybe easy to swallow but I think it did shortchange these characters and how complex they were on a psychological level. Furthermore, they spend too much time on this threesome and not enough on the creation of Wonder Woman as it came late during the 3rd act and I wish they did spend more time on this as well. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was maybe not a masterpiece, it was still pretty good though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in this genre.
