Movie Reviews of Iron Jawed Angels
Movie Review: Thank You Ladies!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I watched this movie I just kept saying "THank You Ladies, for what you went through to get our vote!" This movie was so compelling and passionate for what they believed in and stood for. Hillary Swank was great as usual. I always knew that women went through a lot in order to get us the vote, but I never dreamed it was to that extent! I have always voted, and this was an election year for President and I was very excited to vote and let my voice be heard. Thanks again to all the Ladies that helped to give me that privilege. Don't ever take that right for granted. If you are undecided about voting then watch "Iron Jawed Angels" It will touch your heart and soul and make you feel proud to be a woman!! I reccomend this movie for everyone!!Movie Review: Fantastic suffrage lesson
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this video after getting an email about how Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and their fellow suffragettes were treated after protesting and petitioning for the right to vote. I knew I would want it in my DVD collection, but thought it might be something for my classroom as well. I teach social studies and thought it would be a good addition to my election lessons. With the exception of a couple inappropriate moments (easily taken care of with a properly placed poster board over the television screen) this movie really engaged my eighth grade students. I would also recommend it for high school government classes.
Short quotes from my students:
"Cool"
"Loved it!"
"Eye-opening"
"Moving"
Movie Review: Iron Jawed Angels
Summary: 5 Stars
In this election, with all the negative ads, it would be too easy just to "not vote". It seems no one is "worth" voting for.
A friend sent me an email about "voting" and what how women suffered so that women would have this freedom.
There was a link to "Iron Jawed Angels" in the email. Out of curiosity I clicked on it. It took me to Amazon and the movie was very inexpensive, so I thought I'll just order it, I have nothing to lose.
After watching this movie, it changed my whole attitude toward our freedoms, that have been fought for by our forfathers/mothers.
It is off the charts, I know it's a movie, but it will change your point of view, you will not be able to take so much forgranted ever again.
Movie Review: Wow! Wow! Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this movie up at the local Blockbuster. It was mixed in with a sea of horrible movies. However, I found a gem in Iron Jawed Angels.
The music was contemporary, yet fitting. I loved it so much that I nearly cried when the suffragists marched down the street to a Lauren Hill song in the background.
The acting was fantastic. Actors, both male and female, brought this women's vote movement to life. I am a student teacher and I plan to show this film in class with some minor deletions for sexual content (one scene only).
Most movies are not worth the film or DVD that they are printed on, but this film is truly magnificent. I am going to buy it and watch it over and over.
Movie Review: Informative and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with "Zane "NY Times Bestselling Author" who rated this movie before me here. This film should be shown to all students. Suffragists are a heroic element of American history that doesn't get the attention that it deserves.
This film depicts Alice Paul as the courageous and undaunted woman that she had to have been in order to persevere and fight for the woman's right to vote. She is arrested without legal cause, jailed, grossly mistreated, force-fead, and interrogated in an attempt to prove her insane.
My favorite line was (ad-libbing here) that "courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."
The film is entertaining as well as informative.
