I like this kind of stuff... Very often, I find the inspiration behind a work to be more interesting than the work, itself.I'm not completely sold on the notion that discussion of hemlines, or the domestic status quo, can be waved away as being 'unimportant', though...Their relationship with each other may have been unusual - and perhaps even trailblazing, for its time - but that shouldn't cloud the fact that, because the creator is male, Wonder Woman still remains at least in part an outlet for MALE desires... Feminists championing a character doesn't automatically make the character herself feminist... and if one professes to believe in 'truth', then it is important that this idea is discussed and debated perhaps more robustly than it is examined by the film!

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

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is a nice biography, a story worth to be told about the inventor of the lie detector and the creator of the superhero Wonder Woman. I never heared of it before so that was a bonus for me. But there is more to it than just the story about his invention and his creation. It's also a love story, about a love triangle, and about dominance and submission. Nobody would take offence by that now but at that time it was something scandalous and unheared of. I can't see why someone couldn't love more than one person at once and that's what this story is about. Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote are the actors playing the characters of the love triangle. Good-looking people and that's the funny thing about it. It's obviously a Hollywood production so the actors have to be good-looking. Because in the end credits you get to see some pictures of the real people from that time and the least you could say is that they were not as good-looking. I guess beauty sells better. Nevertheless Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is certainly worth watching.

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!
