Movie Reviews of Iron Jawed Angels
Movie Review: "The Iorn Jawed Angels. Is That An Insult?"
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was great. It's about these two women, votes-for-women women, Alace Paul and Lucy Burns, who set up a whole new comunity that supports the votes-for-women cause. My favorite charictor is Ruza. So, Miss Paull and Miss Burns encounter the wrath of the leader of NAWSA, Carrie Catt. Who is wonderfully portrayed by Anjelica Huston. So, Miss Paul and Miss Burns have to win the battle about women's votes. But it's realy Carrie who pulls the final string. That's my favorite line: "Let's not waste our time with plesentries. I'll be blunt, may I? The forighn press will pick this up. You can tell the presedent he can look like a damn fool, or he can deal me in. Now, sir." Thin Carrie walks out. But the war still isn't won.
You have to wacth this movie.

Movie Review: You go girls!
Summary: 5 Stars
I go to a woman's college and they showed us this movie at the beginning of the school year. It is an absolutely amazing movie. I don't think I ever really realized everything that went into the fight for woman's voting rights. I knew some details but this movie really makes it real, and being a woman it meant a lot for me personally to see what sacrifices were made for me and all women so that we would have an equal say in government. The movie is also very accessible because it has a modern twist through the music and cinematography. Hilary Swank did an excellent job and Francis O'Connor was a character whom I felt like a related to. She was the comic relief in many ways but still steadfast in her determination. Watch it, you won't regret it, it's a real eye opener.Movie Review: Stunning combination of modern savvy and historical spicy
Summary: 5 Stars
Although some reviewers may argue for the small historical inaccuracies in the movie (the music, the clothing, Alice Paul's romance with the cartoonist, etc), the overall purpose of the film is not historical accuracy. It is to portray the last era of suffragettes (Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Carrie Chapman Catt) in a modern light, to show that despite what many think, the past was just as multicolored and vibrant as the lives we live today. Indeed, it is a sobering thought that just one hundred years ago, long after the Revolutionary and Civil Wars were fought, women did not have the right to vote and were told to stay home. This film shows the sacrifices that women in the past have made so that finally everyone, men and women, are able to vote in the United States of America.Movie Review: Women can never take their suffering for granted
Summary: 5 Stars
I was never really aware of how much the women of the suffrage movement had to endure to get the constitution amended until I watched "Iron Jawed Angels". We still live in a masculine world where men call the shots on everything, but in the 1900's it was even harder for women to stand up to men. These women did not let that hold them back, and I salute them for their bravery. I loved Hillary Swank as "Alice Paul". All the other actresses, Frances O'Conner, Julia Ormond, and Angelica Houston were magnificant. I would encourage every women who has forgotten that the right to vote came with much sacrifice to watch "Iron Jawed Angels". This movie will make you proud to be a women, and I hope it will make women want to fight even harder for the rights of women worldwide.Movie Review: A Sobering Reminder
Summary: 5 Stars
It's easy to forget in 2008 that women haven't always had the right to vote. That right was secured by determination and force of will in the face of strong opposition. I bought this to share with friends who are involved in the Obama campaign - people who are looking for a change in America, for the chance to continue on the journey of making America a "more perfect union". After we watched - and were inspired by -- this true story, another friend borrowed it to share with her friends, and then another, and another. Watching the way these women were treated, and the disdain in which they were held as they fought for a basic right of citizenship has helped remind a widening circle of precious is the right to vote, and how important it is to exercise that right.
