Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)

Typical comic book artists would purely utilise their imagination to create fictional worlds and leading superheroes. William Marston was slightly different, in the fact he incorporated his own personal life into the character of Wonder Woman. He amalgamated the best qualities from the women he loved most to create the perfect liberal Amazonian princess. The biopic explores the invention of the lie detector, with his wife Elizabeth, and the engagement of a polyamorous relationship with research assistant Olive. I can't quite overstate how much there is to digest in this glorious biopic. Robinson's direction was nearly flawless. Aside from a few rushed scenes towards the end, every single plot point was a building block in conceptualising Wonder Woman. Her Lasso of Truth symbolising their lie detecting invention. Her gauntlets inspired by Olive's silver bracelets. The symbology behind Wonder Woman consisting of liberalism, feminism and virtuosity. Her comic strips depicting Marston's DISC theory which had the possibility of being viewed as fetish art, with some accusing him of featuring sadomasochism and lesbianism. So much content in less than two hours! Yet every fragment of its runtime felt pivotal. But it's not just a wondrous biopic, it's a love story. An unconventional relationship that shared the perspective of normality. Both the conflict and adoration they each shared with each other was extraordinary, delicately illustrated onscreen. Again, highlighting his DISC theory within his own life. Each of the leading stars were exceptional, but Hall was mesmerising as the most conflicted character. Even the inclusion of an American/British twang in her pronunciation accentuates the details in her performance. Simply exquisite. The lighting was also noteworthy, particularly a scene where Olive wears the prototype costume in the lingerie shop. Suffice to say, I absolutely adored this biopic. Female empowerment through history, what a wondrous sight to behold.

No lo sabía la verdad. En lo que estaba inspirado Wonder woman. La película es entretenida. Pero no llega a ser una gran película. La ves y te la crees, pero ya está.Imagino que muchos dirán que ya que el comic se basa en eso pues están justificadas las escenas de sexo, pero a mí me parecen largas.Los actores están muy bien. Todos sin dejar ninguno.La iluminación está bien, pero no consigue hacer una película especial. Y la iluminación por las ventanas es muy fea.El director, la lleva bien, sí. Pero poco más. No coloca la cámara. Aunque por lo menos no aburre. Para verla, enterarte y olvidarla. I did not know the truth. In what was inspired Wonder woman. The movie is entertaining. But it does not become a great movie. You see it and you believe it, but that's it.I imagine that many will say that since the comic is based on that because the sex scenes are justified, but to me they seem long.The actors are very good. All without leaving any.The lighting is fine, but can not make a special film. And the lighting through the windows is very ugly.The director, he's good, yes. But little more. Do not place the camera. Although at least it does not bore. To see her, find out and forget her

Brilliant writing and directing. The acting is to be as praised as well. I do not know how much of the actual truth is presented in the movie, but it was a very smart portrayal of how wonder woman came to be and what she has represented all alone

Raw, gutsy, confronting, bullsh*t free. 50 Shades teases and promises much but barely touches on core material which here is so openly dealt with.I'm pretty open-minded, but the very unconventional values depicted here are so frank and honest I would feel awkward watching this with most people who wouldn't be so inclined, and who would almost certainly turn away in disgust.Marston's advocated DISC Dominance Inducement Submission Compliance theory and used comic book character Wonder Woman with its overtly sadomasochistic themes to portray how women can be powerful. His polyamorous relationship with wife Elizabeth and mistress Olive, and the women with each other, is something which would still not be widely accepted even today.If you're jaded with most movies and want something to challenge and wake you up, watch this!
