The Establishing Shot: The establishing shot was at the beginning of the movie when the women came riding to work on their bikes. They were all dressed in 60's style clothing. This allowed me to see that the movie was going to be set in the 60's. The establishing shot also introduced who turned out to be the main characters.
Interesting Camera Angles: I think the camera angles played a role in setting the mood for the movie also. In the film when it was getting serious or wanting you to feel a certain emotion the camera angle would get closer to the main character when she was giving a speech. This allowed you to see the emotions on her face and made you feel the emotion she was expressing.
Story Line: The story line was to educate the viewer on women’s right, show the struggle they went through, and show what obstacles they overcome. I found the whole movie to be very moving. The movie showed a group of women who worked for Ford Factory sewing seats. The women did not have adequate air conditioning and would do their work wearing their bras. They were also were not paid very much because they were considered to be unskilled and were women. The main character then started a strike and went around to all of the Ford Factories and inspired them to go on strike also. They eventually had to shut down the factory because without seats they could not make cars. It also gave a look at their lives at home and showed how people from every class were struggling not just the lower class. Near the end of the movie the women met with the prime minister and got an immediate pay raise and started a "treaty" with her to make sure their rights continued to get better. In the movie none of the scenes made me feel uncomfortable because I feel that it accurately portrayed what it would have been like to live in that time. Without all of the scenes the movie would not have been as effective.

The actors: I think the actors were very convincing in their roles. Each character made it possible for me to feel their struggles and the emotions that they were feeling. I believe the acter were perfect for their roles.
The music: The music went along with the 60's theme of the movie. The music helped set the mood of the film and set of the time frame. The music also helped fuel the emotions of the film.
Genre: This movie is a combination of different genres. It was a comedy because the people made light of the situation by using humor. It was also history because it was based on true events dealing with women’s rights. It was also a drama because it showed struggles, parties, etc.
Context, Message, Meaning: While the main message the movie was trying to send was based on women's rights, the message that I took from the film is that everyone should have the same rights. I also took from it that it is important to stand up and be someone's voice as the main character did in the movie because not everyone is strong enough to express their views.
