Justice In Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
Following the dawn of justice, fans from around the world are eagerly awaiting for Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman to take center stage in her solo film next summer. With a Justice League trailer looming about the near future, Empire has released a new image of Gal Gadot from Wonder Woman and an interview with director Patty Jenkins to tide us over.

"What motivates her is philosophical," explains director Patty Jenkins - which is not surprising given her mythological roots. Diana Prince, daughter of Greek God Zeus and Queen of the Amazons Hippolyta, grew up on the paradise island Themyscira and religiously abides by strong principles and beliefs that dates back to ancient times. Jenkins continues to explain that Wonder Woman "isn't just taking out

    New England Colonies Dbq Analysis

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

    Athena Role Model

    She was a superhero made to solve the world's problems with love rather than violence, so the author, Will Marston decided to make her female to conform to gender norms. Even if she was cited as the first feminist superhero, she was still created in the perimeters allowed in the patriarchy. Her origin story dates back to ancient Greece, where Ares and Aphrodite disputed about which gender would rule the world, men with violence or women with peace. Aphrodite created a super-race of women who is taken down by Hercules after he seduces their leader Hippolyta so Aphrodite hides the survivors on an island later named the Bermuda Triangle created as a world just for women. Without men, the women have no children and become depressed so Athena helps Hippolyta make a child from the clay and Aphrodite gives it life. They name her Diana, who later in the series becomes the Wonder Woman we all know. Where it gets interesting is when an Army Pilot named Steve Trevor crashes on the island, she saves him, they fall in love. Diana leaves everything she knows and her female utopia to live in a patriarchal world to be with a man. She stays loyal to one man, just like Athena to her father. Will Marston says that he “had the character come to the United States. with American…

    Justice In 12 Angry Men

    It’s the hottest day of the year in New York City, and 12 clammy men, who were put on a jury, are locked into a room, where the fan doesn’t work and the windows stick, to discuss the case of an 18 year old accused of murder. In the opening scene, the judge states that is it a first degree murder and if found guilty the teenager will receive the death penalty. The 18 year old is accused of killing his father with a “one of a kind” switch blade. The 12 jurors must decide if there is enough evidence to convict the teen of murder. When the initial vote is taken it is 11-1. The one vote for not guilty is juror eight, whose real name is Davis. He is a well-spoken man, wore a suit and tie and had his dark hair slicked back for the trial. Davis admits that he doesn’t know if the teen is innocent but says he could be. In the movie 12 Angry Men, Juror eight shows true justice…

    Justice In The Dark Knight

    What is justice? Whether it is defined as punishing and rewarding people according to their actions or as simply being fair, many of us have rather simple definitions of the word. Justice, however, is an idea that is far more complicated than it seems at first glance. A particularly good example of the non-simplistic nature of justice is the movie The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is an effective example of the complicated nature of justice because it uses powerful symbolic scenes to demonstrate the difficulty in finding justice, it uses characters as strong symbols for the various natures of justice and injustice, and it shows that the obviously just and unjust characters have striking similarities.…

    Essay on Wonder Woman

    Her mission is to bring love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. The heroine Princess Diana of Themyscira, more famously known as Wonder Woman, has gone through various reimagining and different retellings in both media and comic books. But all of these have the same basic origin. She was born and lived the majority of her life on the isolated paradise island of Themyscira, an island inhabited entirely of Amazonian women. Everything changed one day when pilot, Captain Steve Trevor crashed on the mysterious island. Soon after he crashed, as he was being held and treated on the island, Queen Hippilyta held a tournament to decide who would have the honor of escorting Captain Trevor back to the United States. Against her mother’s wishes, Princess Diana participated in said tournament and won. At this point the narrative diverges depending on its retelling. In the 1975 pilot, set in World War II, named, The New Original Wonder Woman directed by Leonard Horn, Wonder Woman fights Nazis during the World War II era soon after leaving the island. In the 2009 animated movie, Wonder Woman, directed by Lauren Montgomery, Wonder Woman fights to stop the reign of the Greek god of war, Ares and his army of undead Amazons. Wonder Woman has always been widely considered as a feminist icon, thus these movies are supposed to reflect such a message. Thus each movie shows how the times and sexual equality has changed over the years. These can be shown by the relationship between Princess Diana and Steve Trevor in which one movie portrays them fighting on equal footing against a common threat much like co-workers and the other not so much which is apparent in a multitude of fighting scenes; Wonder Woman’s behavior and personality through both movies but mostly with her passive behavior in one fight scene in the 1975 pilot and her aggressive behavior in the 2009 animated movie; and Steve Trevor’s difference in behavior and personality but…
