A few days ago our colleagues from Cinema Blog they told us that Wonder woman, the film, had become the highest grossing premiere in history for a director, a success also endorsed by critics and that surprises a bit for being a female character in an action film.
Not surprisingly, it seems that there are many women who are attending the movie, and that is in the US. They have carried out a very powerful marketing strategy in this regard: the protagonist is a woman, the film is a woman and film passes have been made for women only.
And that's not all: it seems that even the smallest girls are liking, because a teacher decided to gather all the opinions of her preschool students, surprised by how a heroine movie can change the way you think and act.
The director of the movie shared it
The most curious thing is not only what the girls said, but also that the film's director herself, Patty jenkins, shared in a tweet that has gone viral (more than 94,000 likes and shared more than 41 thousand times) the words of the teacher.
As we read in Verne, these are the teacher's words:
I work in a nursery and this is a collection of beautiful things related to Wonder Woman that have happened during the week of the movie premiere:
- On Monday, a boy who was obsessed with Iron Man told me that he had asked his parents for a new Wonder Woman tupper. - A girl said: "When I grow up I want to speak hundreds of languages, like Diana real name of Wonder Woman."
- A girl forced her parents to change the theme party of Beauty and the Beast with only three days in advance because she needed to have a Wonder Woman party.
- Seven girls playing during recess on Tuesday, saying that, since they all wanted to be Wonder Woman, they had agreed to be Amazons and fight together against evil instead of fighting each other.
- Then there is that girl who refuses to listen to you unless you address her as Wonder Woman.
- Another girl seriously asked the teacher (or teacher) if she could get rid of the uniform and exchange it for Wonder Woman's armor, because she wanted to "be prepared if she had to save the world." The teacher (or teacher) laughed and said okay. The next day the girl came in disguise and no boy was flinched.
- They are preparing a show for the end of the year and asked if they could be dressed as superheroes, when in reality they are going to sing a song about bunnies.
- There was a boy who got angry and threw a plastic car at a partner and then a girl shouted: "as in the movie". - A boy threw the candy wrapper on the floor and a five-year-old girl told him: "Don't get dirty, you idiot. That's why there are no men in Temisciria, where the character originated, where there are only women."
- On Wednesday, a girl came with a printed list with all the superheroines and their powers to avoid conflicts between children when choosing characters at recess.
- I was talking to a girl who hadn't seen the movie. The next day he came very serious and said: "You were right, Wonder Woman is much better than Frozen."
Consider this a kind way to remember that, if this movie has completely changed the way these girls and boys about themselves and the world in just one week, imagine what the next generation will achieve if we give them more movies like Wonder Woman
The cinema needs more female characters
I think I don't say anything new by stating that the cinema needs more female characters as protagonists, and in addition to films written and directed by women. If not, we will always be seeing women from the prism of men, and our sons and daughters too. Women who seem to be always waiting for a man to save them. Women who need their approval to do something, or who act in their shadow, because they are the ones who manage the cotarro.
There is more to see these girls, how they respond to see a strong protagonist, who does not depend on another superhero, independent. It is your new reference and probably for a long time, don't you think? It was time to leave behind the princesses and all their little group of young women seeking the approval and shelter of the final protagonists of the stories.
