In 1920 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony lead the fight to let women vote. Many years have passed since 1854 when the state of NY introduce a piece of legislation to give women rights, many efforts happened around the world like the suffragette in the UK, where one thousand women went to jail because they wanted better opportunities.

During the middle of the second World War 1941 a female super hero comes to life Wonder Woman, an amazon with super powers who join forces to fight the evil forces of the world.

The film directed by Patty Jenkins presents the character of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) an amazon princess daughter of queen Hippolita and Zeus rescue an American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) who crash his plane off the coast of Themyscira, later followed by a German cruiser. All this events leads Diana to return with Steve Trevor to London where they need to find the responsible and creator of this war who Diana calls Ares.

The film explore the horror of World War 1, when Diana, Steve Trevor and his team decided to go to the Western front in Belgium to find General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston) who next to his scientist is planning to spread a deadly gas.

Wonder Woman is a superhero film like any other, because presents a woman as the lead in the fight against evil. Many other women on film have fight oppression, avenge their past or look to improve their life for a good cause. Uma Thurman in “Kill Bill”, Gina Carano in “Haywire”, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu in “Charlie’s Angels” Scarlet Johansson in “Lucy”, Jane Fonda in Barbarella.

The idea is to forget the concept of the dame in distress, women’s are powerful and they know how to defend themselves, but in a misogynist world were female are not seen as limited and weak people, the response of these movies is to show that is possible to be protected and care for women. To me the problem with Wonder Woman is just a document of how women can become a more powerful force to fight their image as a the person who stays behind while men fight, work and enjoy the fruits of success. But in reality is another blockbuster film, with a well crafted advertising campaign who seems to impress everyone. Don’t get me wrong, little girls or girls in general will be encourage by this movie, but for adults could be another super hero movie.
