This article could act as a review of Patty Jenkins'. Geoff Johns' and Dave Callaham's Wonder Woman 1984.
From watching the truly ridiculous WW84, Patty Jenkins and her writers seem to want us to think a few things:
- Monoracial European relationships are the greatest thing in the world.
- Men are predators who cannot be trusted and are only focused on greed, their offspring and sex.
- Wonder Woman prefers to spend her time sleeping in silk sheets and only uses her powers to help others when it suits her schedule of dating, travel and fashion outfitting.
- Anyone following anyone is a creep unless the follower is female.
- Men are interchangeable, as shells that you can choose to see as contained by someone from your past.
- White feet should be worshipped, so we will put numerous shots of white feet being the biggest thing on the screen.
- A 'cute' white guy acts with the self-control and confidence of a Japanese schoolgirl.
- Wonder Woman can hear a siren from the clouds but cannot hear someone sneaking away from them in a quiet room.
- Antiquity dealing is 'cool', despite the fact it revolves around imperial theft of wealth and culture.
- The cast features many comedians and everyone but Wonder Woman is comical... if Gal Gadot takes her joke of an existence super seriously, you should also take things that are not serious as super-duper serious - and things that actually are serious as super not serious.
- As a woman, your friendships with men are not important because you should only have time or respect for one.
- European men are the only people who could take us from the ground to the skies, while other men are fixated on the Earth's land.
- Objectification of self is great and empowering, but anyone else doing it is harassment and worthy of death.
- Addiction and bad mental health are best treated with violence instead of support and rehabilitation.
- Despite defying physics, Wonder Woman (a SUPERHERO) has the physical power of a top male soldier.
- A dreadlock wig on an Indian with stubble is better than hiring an(other) actor with dreadlocks.
- Having a job, livelihood, safety and opportunity is 'having nothing'.
- Even Wonder Woman needs a man to save her and hold her up, but Wonder Woman can literally fly through the clouds 5 minutes later - after running away like Usain Bolt.
- Belief can allow you to steal aircraft and countries.
- Everything would be ruined if everyone could have one wish come true, because normal people should be awful.
- Drinking dirty water is good for everyone and fat faces are not fat faces.
Each of the nonsensical sentiments described above can be seen clearly in this film.
No wonder so many people hated it. I know I should not for any reason, but I feel sad for Gal Gadot. WW1984 is that much produced by nonsensical minds.
This text may be taken as an exhibition of what someone sees in a movie when they say it is 'unacceptable propaganda'.
WW84 is stupid, sexist, mindless, racist and offensive but I enjoyed it because of my Eurocentric conditioning.
