I kind of feel like saying that defeats some purpose of something about women's rights and whatnot, but hey, they made the movie, not me. Apparently most of the people and the events that occurred in the movie actually lived/happened, it just gave history a bit of a glamorized and modern feel with things like music choice (similar to A Knight's Tale [maybe I only thought that because the blacksmith from that movie is on it]) which I don't think is really a bad thing. It kind of brings history alive for this generation who probably doesn't always think about the fact that women have had the right to vote in this country for LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED YEARS AND THESE WOMEN GAVE THEIR HEARTS AND SOULS AND LIVES FOR FREEDOMS THAT FOR SOME UNEXPLAINABLE REASON WERE BEING DENIED ROUGHLY HALF OF THE POPULATION AND PEOPLE WENT AROUND THINKING THAT WAS OK.
Needless to say, if you need some girl-power firing up, this movie would be a good one to watch. The cast is stellar, the story is awesome, and history should not be forgotten. Iron Jawed Angels for the win.
In other news, this page is hilarious if you've ever been around children that you just want to donate to someone else.
In other other news, below on "song of the day" my daily theme song, "Too Young To Burn," is especially perfect today. Sometimes you just connect with the words and feel inside like the music, and it's a beautiful relationship. On Sunday I realized that often I don't think about how I feel in terms of emotions, but rather songs (for example, instead of "I feel melancholy but slightly hopeful" I think "I feel like New Slang today." Maybe no one just straight up thinks about their emotional state in so direct of terms anyway. Maybe more people should.) So that's me. Just living life and feeling Too Young To Burn.
