Movie Reviews of Foxfire
Movie Review: Womanhood
Summary: 5 Stars
By far the most beautiful scene in Foxfire is the "tattoo" scene. It demonstrates and celebrates the separate identity that a woman must sometimes have. She by spends most of her time in the shadow of men, reliving what they have already done by the eyes of society and this scene showed them far removed from man all together. If a woman is thought of as strong, she is either a dyke or a ball buster. But a woman is never seen as strong and a woman. I feel this scene showed the true depth a woman is and by far the most incredible truth of a woman; she can be strong yet feminine. By revealing ONLY her breasts, she shows the nature of being a woman. By showing only the chest, she shows how separate she is from man. By showing only her breasts, she shows the essence of womanhood. And nothing is removed from her, not even a little bit. She shares her vulnerability enough to show that she really isn't vulnerable at all. It is a myth man places on women in order to keep them subdued and domestic. Foxfire is a celebration of two things, womanhood and friendship. This movies shows women taking back what most men don't see as valuable, a female's sexuality. I recommend this movie to any woman who wants to show her daughter what the true nature of being a woman is all about.
Summary of Foxfire
GIRL GANG LEADER ANGELINA JOLIE INSPIRES HER TEENAGE POSSE TO TAKE REVENGE ON EVER MAN WHO'S EVER ABUSED THEM. BASED ON THE NOVEL BY JOYCE CAROL OATES. SPECIAL FEATURES: SUBTITLES INENGLISH AND SPANISH, THEATRICAL TRAILERS, TALENT FILES, SCENE SELECTIONS, INTERACTIVE MENUS AND MUCH MORE.Angelina Jolie's strong-willed performance in Foxfire as Legs, the charismatic outsider based on the rebellious character from Joyce Carol Oates's novel, is a very good reason to see this 1996 drama. The film updates the story from the 1950s to the '90s, but for a while the air of teenage angst and confrontation is closer to the legacy of James Dean than gun-toting/body-piercing disaffection. Bold and larger-than-life, Legs quickly gathers a group of adolescent girls around her, each of whom has been sexually abused and is dealing in her own way with the emotional consequences. As expected, the girls plot out their revenge, but even more interesting is the intensity of their bond and rituals, the way they hang out in an abandoned house, their expressions of devotion. So tight and self-protective does this clique become that onlookers--fellow students, parents--become resentful. The final act loses faith somewhat with the mystique of this story, as a few hoary ideas (kidnapping, firearms) breach the film's originality. But what's good is good indeed, and Jolie's performance remains a harbinger of great things to come. --Tom Keogh
