Battle of the Sexes

This is NOT a Comedy (although some of the behaviour is ludicrous). It is an event driven, bio-pic, and it addresses issues and decisions that were and are both global and personal. Great cast, great performances. It is almost unimaginable that the things that were said about women in this film were ever said, or, even worse, believed, and that the resulting behaviour was so warped, and I lived through it (I was in college during the 70s) - it was our reality that few questioned. Even though most of the ridiculous statements wouldn't be tolerated today, today's headlines show that the issues and behaviours, though unspoken have not disappeared but have simply gone underground and are still held and acted upon by people who feel entitled by power or brutality. It is shameful and must be exposed for real change to take place. I give the movie a 7.5 (good) out of 10 (with the extra .5 for holding up a mirror). I was glad to see this movie and to be reminded of what a few courageous women did to change things. [Drama, History]
