Iron Jawed Angels - DVD (2004)
Iron Jawed Angels is a DVD that I heard about on blogland somewhere. It is the story of the suffragettes in the US, who fought for many years to give women the vote. Eventually after imprisonments, hunger strikes and force feeding giving bad press, the government relented.
I enjoyed the movie, finding out about the characters involved, although I am sure it was much less glamorous than appeared on the screen. I was a bit distracted by the music though, which seldom happens. However it was a movie set in the 1910 period and yet the movie was full of modern music that somehow seemed a little bit out of place. Like someone said "how do we make this movie appeal to teenagers and sell a soundtrack". For me it kind of ruined the ambience, and made it seem a little less real.
Anyways it was worth a 3/5, for it is an important story to tell that mamy women could do with seeing.

never heard of the movie utnil now. sounds good and with actors to match i see.
the swedish upcoming election revolves a lot around feminist issues, and how far we still need (even sweden) have to go for equal rights still. my vote is definitely going to the challenger feminist party this year! it will be so interesting to see if they finally will be able to make real difference.
