Review of Iron Jawed Angels

Iron Jawed Angels is a history film portraying the actions and events of Alice Paul, a women suffragist leader. Now I had to watch this in my U.S history through film class and I have to say that even though it is a crucial part of history, this film is no a crucial one to my favorites list. Let me explain. The history and facts and events used in this film are astonishing. The women during the time were willing to give up so much for their cause. They devoted time and their resources to the movement, stood outside rain snow or shine, even starved themselves in jail and for what cause? Giving women the same rights as a man. The right to vote. They sacrificed all this so that the leaders of this country would not just be elected or could be men, but that they would be elected fairly and truly. Now for the film as a film. The film felt very well done other than a few things. The music didn't seem to fit into the film at all, it was all early 2000's music that just doesn't go well with the time. Also I know they tried to make it seem like it was in the 20's, but the street shots look like they took old clothing and old cars on a modern street. It doesn't fit really well. Overall, the few nitpicks make me give this a 7.
