On the Basis of Sex Review
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an unquestionably inspiring figure. She’s the second woman to ever sit on the U.S. Supreme Court, a lifelong crusader for women’s rights, and the reason that we in America have laws protecting the right to live and work without discrimination based on your gender. In Mimi Leder’s film she’s presented as just that. However, despite the movie showcasing her brilliance and tenacity, at times it’s sanitized and schmaltzy, which takes away from the overall impact of the story.
The time-hopping narrative follows Felicity Jones’ Ginsburg from her first day at Harvard Law until the groundbreaking case Moritz vs. The Commissioner, which defined her career and changed America forever. Jones is a charming lead, though both her and her co-star Armie Hammer–as Ginsburg’s husband Martin–look so clean cut and handsome it’s almost disarming, as they look more like models in a catalog than a pair of law students.
DC’s Superheroes Should Be the Greek Gods of the Movies
DC Comics has some of the most iconic and celebrated heroes in the history of storytelling. Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman are just a few of the most notable staples in the pantheon of popular culture, and have left an enduring legacy for so many of us. They fit a role not unlike what the Greek gods did in Ancient Greece; we look up to them, we admire them, and when we tell stories, we put some of the finest aspects of our culture and ourselves into them. In essence, we hold them to the highest of standards.
However, they are not infallible. (And neither were the Greek gods, by the way. Zeus had more dalliances than James Bond, and he was married!). And the manner in which DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. have handled these titans of popular culture on the silver screen in recent years hasn’t been perfect either. Sure, Aquaman is a step in the right direction, as was Wonder Woman before it, but for many fans like myself, it feels like these films should be creating big-screen versions of the characters that are akin to the Greek gods of the 21st century.
