Iron Jawed Angels
This is a non-fiction movie on the sufferage movement in the early 20th century. It's pretty cool because the acting is topnotch and it gives me a much needed insight into this period of American History.
It stars Hillary Swank as Alice Paul who breaks from the ranks of the mainstream sufferage movement. Eventually she is thrown into prison and goes on a hunger strike. She was ordered to be force fed by none other than the president himself. Quote:

Funny that HBO's synapsis says nothing of this. [edit] Maybe because it's fictionalized? http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...ilaryswank.jpghttp://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan..._alicepaul.jpg http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...licahuston.jpghttp://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...hapmancatt.jpg http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...cisoconnor.jpghttp://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan..._lucyburns.jpg http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...uliaormond.jpghttp://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedan...mulholland.jpg I don't know perhaps its just because I love historical dramas but this movie gets two big thumbs up from me.

It's on it seems like every hour on HBO. So far I've been able to avoid it.
|
I love Historical Dramas. But this just sounds like one of those things...If HBO hadn't made it, Lifetime or Oxygen would have.
|
I keep catching the last 1/2 hour or 45 minutes of it. It seems interesting, and I'd like to catch it, from the beginning, sometime.
|
the trailer for that looks really impressive... I going to make an effort to watch that (despite no hbo)
|
I just got done watching it.....I can honestly say its one of the best non fiction movies I've ever seen.
Astrocloud there was no Ben (in fact Alice Paul never married) AND Emily (the wife of the senator) didnt exist either from what I've been able to find out. If the masturbation scene wasnt in it I would reccommend that EVERY teenage girl see this. Interesting note....Hilary Swank wasnt even registered to vote when she made this movie |
