smittenbyuIn the last two months we watched the following three movies.
The first two we watched just around the time the Sheryl Sandberg Ban Bossy Campaign was getting all the press. I haven't read her ever popular book, Lean In, but on this subject, I couldn't agree with her more on this! Brilliant idea. Have a story to tell but that's for another day. It just so happened the three watched centered around strong female characters.
1) The Heat - I had placed this on hold at the library sometime last year and forgot about it. Finally my turn came and watched it. Hilarious. Hubby walked off after the first half hour as he found it a little over the top. But then I thought, no one found Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker in Rush Hour over the top when they did the same thing. (I enjoyed that one too!) It showcased the issues brought up in the campaign with such humor!
2) The Iron Lady - might not like her policies but she was just an amazing woman!
3) Kahaani - this has to be the best thriller I have seen ever made by Bollywood, and maybe even Hollywood. It's one of the first anyway to see a woman in the main lead. There was such good work done in building the characters. I left wanting more after the movie was over and felt like they were real people. It was a thriller that wasn't filled with violence for the sake of effect but had so much of story to tell! A must watch for anyone! The cinematography was also wonderful! Simple and realistic.
