Movies
Bagdad Cafe (1987): When Women stop fighting and truly collaborate, Magic becomes possible. Watch this movie with at least one Woman friend (as, by the way, all of these movies).
Barbie (2023): Producer Margot Robbie and Director Greta Gerwig created this incredibly perceptive story in which Barbie wakes up and reclaims her authority. Along the way, she collaborates with Women, and then also Men, to create a different culture from Barbie culture (Matriarchy) and modern culture (Patriarchy). After you’v watched the movie, you may find this article insightful.
Big Eyes (2014): The story of Margaret Keane, wife to famous “painter” Walter Keane, who took credit for Margaret’s “big eye” paintings, with her collusion. It is a story of her waking up into her power, stepping out of victimhood, and reclaiming her art. Based on real events. How many other women gave the credit for their work to men? It is time to shift and honour your own work.
Brainwashed: Camera-Sex-Power (2022): A documentary by filmmaker Nina Menkes who shares with immense clarity her observation of the “male gaze”, admitting her own unconscious use of it in filmmaking, and also putting the filmmaking industry into the bigger perspective of modern culture. She showcases some examples of other ways of filmmaking, and more interestingly asks the question of how it goes to bring authenticity onto screen. Warning: intense!
Colette (2018): “The hand that holds the pen writes history.” Colette is pushed by her husband to write novels under his name. Upon their success, she fights to make her talents known, challenging gender norms. Based on the life of French author, actress and journalist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022): Michelle Yeoh stars as Evelyn Quan Wang, a Chinese-American immigrant who, while audited by the IRS, discovers that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse. Very nonlinear and intense, this film opens up new possibilities.
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991): A must-see classic. Two stories woven together, so that early 20th century Women Ruth and Idgy inspire the empowerment of Evelyn in the early 1990s. To Wonda!
Hidden Figures (2016): Based on real life events, this tells the story of 3 female African-American mathematicians (Katherine Goble Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson) working at NASA around the time of the first manned missions into outer space. Courageously and with sharp swords, they handle racial and gender discrimination at work, so they can do what they’re born to do.
Miss Potter (2006): The inspiring life of author and illustrator Beatrice Potter. She was a Woman that went first in many ways.
Nyad (2023): At the age of 60, former swimmer Diana Nyad commits to complete her attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida. She failed that attempt at the age of 28. It is impossible at the age of 60, they say. She does it anyway. 1) Never, ever give up. 2) You´re never too old to chase your dreams. 3) It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team. Based on the life of Diana Nyad.
She said (2022): A movie around the two reporters uncovering the Harvey Weinstein abuse cases. It shows why Women need their conscious Anger.
Thelma & Louise (1991): Two women choose to leave patriarchy. In the early 1990s, this story was made to end deadly. Today, we can create different outcomes. The radicality required remains. After you’ve watched the movie, read this article.
Women Talking (2022): Set in an Amish village in 2010, this movie depicts old patriarchal thoughtware. A group of women talks, and then chooses, and acts.
