Strong Women

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2004)

Hollywood seems to think "all us guys" want to see in movies are air-brushed, dingy women who can't think for themselves. Not so. Here you have a movie where 4mm men went off to war, leaving all the women behind. Good idea. Not only show a cival war period movie but show what went on behind the curtain as well. Ada and Ruby did not have time to feel sorry for themselves-they had to invent their own survival.I gave it an 8 based upon an average of 10 for Ada & Ruby, and 6 for Inman and the rest of the men. This could very easily have been a great movie; as it is it is very good.
