When the audience knows more than the characters do, it’s fun. For instance in Two Cathedrals, when we know who Jed and Dolores grow up to be, and they don’t know yet who they’re gonna grow up to be, it’s more fun for us. – Aaron Sorkin

One of the greatest scenes in film history. I feel so BLESSED
It’s my favorite scene in the movie and it’s the most important scene in the movie. It’s also the scene that made the least sense to other people going in, which is why it’s a wonderful victory for me.
I think that in superhero movies, they fight other people, they fight villains. So when I started to really hunker in on the significance of No Man’s Land, there were a couple people who were deeply confused, wondering, like, ‘Well, what is she going to do? How many bullets can she fight?’ And I kept saying, ‘It’s not about that. This is a different scene than that. This is a scene about her becoming Wonder Woman.’ – Patty Jenkins on the No Man’s Land scene
This is No Man’s Land, Diana! It means no man can cross it, alright?
I trained an hour a day and it was kind of fun for me because the novelty of it is that I get to be looked at like an object. She’s standing there like a man just, like, eating me up. —Chris Pine
#i’m so glad cpine had exactly as much fun with his role as whoever got cast should’ve had#honestly i’m not sure if patty & co could’ve picked a better steve#he Gets It
As is tradition, here’s an unorganized list of all the Good Shit™ i loved in Wonder Woman.
- the line about how men are not necessary for sexual pleasure. Lesbian Island #confirmed
- the inclusion of discussions of period racism and the Native American genocide
- a well-depicted character with PTSD
- Antiope, my wife.
- every time Diana just looked at Steve like ‘your culture is backwards and prejudiced and it sucks, Steve.’
- THE OPENING BATTLE WITH THE AMAZONS WOWOWOWOW
- didn’t include a male-gaze ridden sex scene, but did include a gratutious, moderately objectifying naked Chris Pine scene
- Diana coming to terms with the fact that she needed to adjust her worldview and perspective on the nature of humanity, and deciding that humanity is worth saving anyway
- THE FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY HOLY SHITTING FUCK
- all the greek gods are fucking dead get wrekt scrubs
- Diana! Being so genuine and kind and compassionate!!!!
- the very strong anti-war message. like, it doesn’t get much stronger than completely annihilating the godly manifestation of war itself.
- The bait-and-switch bad guy reveal.
- Diana “I am no man” Prince taking the greatest power walk of all time across the battlefield.
- Diana just flying directly into a tower and smashing that shit to pieces.
- Diana ends up by fighting for good without even needing a sword, just like she said she would as a little girl.
- SHE PICKED UP A TANK AND THREW IT HOLY SHIT
- i’m so gay for this character good god
- take my fucking money patty jenkins just fuckin take it
“Patty Jenkins worked really hard with her team to design a style of fighting that was incredibly badass, and believable. Where Batman will punch somebody in the face, and that’s effective,
that’s not how the Amazons and Diana fight. They have a disciplined
specialized, collaborative fighting style. They work together as a team,
and leverage each other’s strengths. They are mighty, they are beautiful. And as the Germans learn, this new breed of badass warrior women are deadly.”
Loving the parallels between these characters. Some sketchy musings
