WONDER WOMAN
When I wrote my review of Wonder Woman, I opened with a statement exclaiming that the heroine is the hero we need now more than ever. It seems that many echoed my sentiments, as the woman with the golden lasso has become one of the most successful movies of 2017. But it’s more than dollars and cents; it’s what Wonder Woman represents. Gal Gadot as Princess Diana is the embodiment of true womanhood. Women who are strong, not dainty or demure. Thrust from Amazonia, an island nation populated by only women, into No Man’s Land (in the war to end all wars), Diana delivers on her promise to be the best warrior. The film is a reminder that there’s nothing a woman can’t handle.
