Welcome to another Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves. This week's focus is strong women in movies. I don't think I need to say more so I leave you with my picks.
20th Century Women (2016)
This is a beautiful coming-of-age centred on Dorothea, a middle-aged divorcée who is raising a teenage son by herself. She is worried though that she is too old to raise him well so she asks for the help of two other women, a free-spirited photography and her son's best friend. This film has essentially 5 characters only, but the three amazing, flawed women are those standing out. They are so strong and inspiring.
Erin Brockovich (2000)
It's about real-life Erin Brockovich, a single mother who becomes a legal assistant and brings down almost singlehandedly a Californian power company accused of polluting a city's water supply almost by herself. Although she struggles a little, this woman manages to be both a loving mother and a successful working-woman.
Hidden Figures (2016)
The heartwarming and inspiring story of three Afro-American women mathematicians who played a vital role in NASA during the early stages of the space program. The film uses its three empowering ladies to address important social obstacles such as racism and sexism.
