"Mona Lisa Smile" review
"Mona Lisa Smile," directed by Mike Newell, produced by Elaine Goldsmith- Thomas, Paul Schiff, Deborah Schidler as well as with cinematography by Anastas N. Michos, is a rather touching and inspirational movie with a feminist theme. The movie takes place in the academic year of 1953-1954, on the campus of an all girls' university called Wellesley College. The females in this college are traditional, well dressed and the brightest in America. They don't use their brilliant minds on starting a career but only focus on ma
She is appalled by the fact that this school that she traveled 3000 miles for turns out to be a cleverly disguised "finishing school" for girls that are waiting to be courted. Some of the most impressive things about "Mona Lisa Smile" were its scenery, lighting, costumes and the fact that it consisted of mostly an all- star cast. Nonetheless, Julia Roberts -with her heartwarming smile, Kristen Dunst -with her snobby, yet slowly changing "the way things are these days" attitude, Maggie Gyllenhall -with her sex appeal, and Ginnefer Goodwyn -a comical outcast when comparing her nonexistent love life to her fellow classmates and teacher, were absolutely amazing and helped make the best out of the movie's somewhat predictable storyline. Betty Warren (Kirsten Dunst), Joan Brandwyn (Julia Stiles), Giselle Levy (Maggie Gyllenhall and Connie Baker (Ginnifer Goodwyn) play a few of Watson's students. Whenever she was in a scene where her part was over two lines, her annunciation and tone of voice became a bit shaky. However, not all the actresses delivered their best performance in this movie. If you have seen its trailer, you've seen most of the movie!. Julia Stiles played an unconvincing role of a student who's conflicted between becoming a housewife and pursing a career as a lawyer. Seeing the intelligence of the girls on the first day of classes by their fulfilled requirements of the syllabuses, Katherine Watson strays from the curriculum and attempts to show the girls modern art in hope of teaching them that they have a choice in life, between having a career and being a housewife. Katherine Watson, played by Julia Roberts, is a freshly graduated graduate school graduate.
