A Team of Amazons

Hello Friends,

It’s been over a month since the Wonder Woman movie was released and I find myself still blogging about it. The movie was revolutionary in its viewpoint of a female hero - the rise of the warrior - Diana, Princess of Themyscira. Her life values were shaped by her mother, her aunt and the Amazonian women living in the island paradise.

The movie inspired me as a storyteller. Because of the success of Wonder Women, I hope more different and interesting stories about women can be shown on the big screen and television.

As a mother and a woman, the production of the movie was also unusual and compelling. So many of the women involved were mothers in real life, the Director—Patty Jenkins, the Wonder Woman star—Gal Gadot, the General—Robin Wright, the Queen—Connie Nielsen and not to forget the mum members of the Amazon Army.

Professional and world champion athletes were cast as Amazons. The actresses trained together lifting weights in the gym, in martial arts and horse riding. When the cameras rolled, the Amazons were a united force.

Huffpost made a video about the Amazons—the fierce warrior gods in the movie.

The Wonder Woman movie had many themes worth exploring;

Women can be heroes.

Living by values.

♥ Love.

Truth.

Helping others.

Stop Ares, stop war.

World peace.
