as a woman...

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2004)

I saw this movie for the first time last night. I had previously seen clips of the movie when watching television, and had not been too interested in watching the entire thing. However, last night I was channel surfing as usual in the wee hours of the morning and I found this movie. I decided to finally watch the entire thing.
Now, being a woman myself, i found this movie to be very empowering and inspiring. I believe that Demi Moore gave an awesome performance. See, when I was younger, I always wanted to be one of the boys. I wanted to play football, and I even wrestled them, just to prove that I was as good as they were. Now, this movie may just be that it touched on a personal level, but I believe that it really shows what women are capable of. And I love the fact that O'Neil did not try to beat out the men, but just tried to be accepted as one of them, which is a lot more realistic.
I can understand how a lot of men would not like this movie because of the power that women have in it. Not trying to insult anyone, I believe that many men feel that their masculinity is in danger when they see a woman competing with men, and holding their own. This is why I feel that this movie appeals more to women. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and would watch it again.
