Wonder woman blew me away. It was amazing. Every single part of it was crafted to perfection. From the main character, to the story, to the complexity, to pretty much every single detail.
The story takes place during World War II. But when the movie opens, we are introduced to the Amazonian people, all of whom are women warriors. Diana, who is the Warrior Queen's daughter has an appetite for fighting from a young age, and although her mother tries to protect her from it, Diana relents. The Queen's sister sees this, and trains Diana to be strong.
I wouldn't exactly say the story is unpredictable or that it does not have the checklist which a typical action movie would have: action, explosions and some serious kicking butt, but what sets this movie apart is its heart, and the pure goodness of Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman can be seen as a symbol of our time, with women rights being in the forefront of today's top social issues. Also, the fact that she fights better than all the men. She raises the beacon of hope and shines, gaining the support of the truly good around her.
She also brings out the best in CIA agent Steve, who falls in love with her and becomes inspired to be even more proactive in the war.
Here is an amazing story: inspiring, entertaining and maybe with a social/political message?
You can gain respect from those around you, and you can make a difference even if you're an outlier or minority. Only question is: can you be as strong as wonder woman?
