Movies with feministic theme

It may be a bit cliche, but Selena was the Latin version of Madonna today, if she's still with us today.

The first female ruler of England at the age of 23--no wonder, its the golden age era.

This is a film about Joan Crawford's relationship with her adopted children. Played by Faye Dunaway in the central role--she looks the 'perfect' star to represent Crawford--square shoulder, the arched eyebrows, the v-shaped mouth, and when Dunaway stares, her eyes are like basilisks.
In Mommie Dearest--the emotions are so splendid, the scenes so dramatic and the experiences so brilliant.
This is a serious film, in no way designed to be deliberately funny and yet with Dunaway's portrayal of a haunted and bitter woman, the film is a comic masterpiece by accident.
Joan Crawford was clearly terrified of failure, and it was this fear that drove her to the kind of bizarre perfectionism and competitiveness which marked her life.

A classic and remarkable movie. Robert's portrayal of a dedicated journalist has been an encouragement to others in similar situations. Yes, I don't fear for my career.

Clarck Gable and Vivien Leigh in their pre and post civil war romantic drama. The costume, the background, the actors, and the director himself,--everything in one and perfect place. Of course, it's my grandparents' era and I love it too.

historical novel with the streisand added

romantic comedy--sweet and the taste lingers.

Women measure their power together. But individually, they can stand alone.

Very intense--you'll either love it or hate it. So many questions needed to be answered. Still, women are depicted as men.

Real feminist story with women exemplified in what is almost exclusively male terrain of a road movie. Sexual politics, alongside automotive fetishism is portrayed. This film makes me a real macho 'man' myself.

The music, the characters, the directing--you can't help but admire this film for getting so many things right.

Based on a true story of Dublin journalist Veronica Guerin whose exposes of drug dealers cost her her life is an extraordinary and very perceptive work. Not in a long time have I seen an exceptional acting, writing and storytelling all at once. It's a tragic film, but I love the story and the characters, and I don't feel that a review can do to this film justice. My dear Cate Blanchett gives something special and even magical performance once again.

The film is an example of great direction and its concentration on the trial of Joan of Arc shot largely in close-ups achieves a perceptive, poignant and an extraordinary intensity. It is convincing historically while also representing a wider comment on the persecution of those who threaten the status quo.

It's the story of a love never to be consumated but immortalised indirectly in art. It echoes Dutch paintings and the casting of many supporting roles. The approach and the standard of acting bring a superb and rich quality of the film.

Cold Mountain is an epic love story set during the last stages of the American Civil War. There are so many quotable lines and scenes. And as far as the story and the characters--there is so much to this fim.

The choice of Julie Taymor to direct a film about Frida Kahlo was an excellent stroke. Here was a director with the same fierce and energy and intelligence as Kahlo herself. Taymor also had just the right mixture of imagination and sardonic wit to keep Frida's story from turning into a melodrama, as the film was given a light touch without losing depth and without ignoring Kahlo's dark side.

Of course, most films on artists' lives drown in angst, grotesque behaviour on how and why the artist creates. Yet the film is a different kind of story that offered unusual insight into not only the creative impulses of a truly unique woman artist, but also into one of the most passionate and complex love stories of our time.

Thirty years of Frida's life are covered in the span of a two-hour film. It's a film with combination of epic tale of love, art and politics.

When you go to see a period film, you are always guaranteed good costumes, yet the story line can be a hit or a miss. But not so with this film. It has the beautiful costumes but also a captivating plot.

The film is a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge, and some convincing performances put in the screen by two Boleyn sisters (Portman and Johanssen) competing for the love of king, Henry VIII (Eana) himself. The film is perhaps a far better offering than the recent version Marie Antoinette.

For a two hour film, it is almost an accurate account of the time and life of King Henry VIII.

Carrie Bradshaw (SJP), author and a fashion icon- next-door, is back, her sardonic wit intact and perhaps sharper (my comparative description), as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love and the fashion-obsessed single women in New York City.

Sex and the City finds Carrie, Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristn Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the HBO series ended, still as friends, who continue to juggle jobs and relationships while navigating motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate.

Chris North reprises his role of Carrie's suave yet elusive Mr. Big; David Eigenberg as Miranda's down -to-earth husband Steve Brad; Evan Handler as Harry, Charlotte's dependable and loving husband; and John Lewis as Smith Jerrod, an actor, client and devoted lover of Samantha's.

Some people describe the film as a long episode of the series rather than of a movie. And some even think that the flick is not really empowering to women as these four women only want their own Romeos.

Candace Bushnell's book 'Sex and the City' attempts to represent a break with women's image as far as the critical tradition of time is concerned. The main rationale is to touch on the distinctionction between sex and gender. Sex is the biologically determined differene between men and women, while gender refers to the cultural differences, the product of social conditioning.

Overall, the flick is a blend of productive and re-productive creativity and imagination, telling a tale of 'no reservation' reckoning--in two parallel worlds--the he and the she. In short, the flick is an entrancing blend of imagination and perhaps scholarships, with a deft touch of humour.

An era where no one dared to write about, but only one person--Jane Austen!

So, the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas was still alive (and kicking) during the Second World War? What a surprise!

The movie featured heavily on the life of the poet who never fought on the battlefields but certainly served his time in the ranks of the heartbreakers and heartbroken.

There were two major women in Thomas' life--Vera, his first love and childhood friend, and Caitlin, his fiery wife. The storyline pretty much revolves around these two women, their love for Dylan and each other. With the introduction of William (Murphy), a soldier who would be the answer to Vera's dreams, a volatile love square is formed that will last for years and test the morals of all those involved.

The film is visually appealing, the acting is solid and the music is moody and understated. And there's another surprise -- KK can sing, as she also does a respectable job at belting out a tune or two.

Overall, the film is quite interesting, and not a bad insight into the subjects behind those immortal poetic lines.
