Thoughts about the movie, not the actual event.
I watched the movie Valkyrie yesterday starring Tom Cruise. The movie is mostly centred around the going-ons of Europe, so there were no people of different races, everyone was white. Also, most of the story focused around what men did and women played a secondary role in the movie.
The movie was about Tom Cruise's actions, he played Colonel Stauffenberg- a central figure in the Valkyrie operation. The person I really identified with was Stauffenberg's wife. Honestly, I wouldn't mind being a housewife, taking care of the house, having beautiful blond children like she did, having a nice big well-furnished house and a handsome war hero husband.
Despite equal rights for women nowadays, I also like the old-fashioned notion of women staying at home taking care of children. It seems so romantic to wait for your man at home. It really does.
On the other hand, I'd like to have my own career and make my own impact on the world. I don't believe in men treating us as lesser than other men. I wouldn't mind being incharge of a large media organization, or making the calls for big decisions. But then again, I suppose anyone would enjoy power.
Your thoughts?
