Alice, what's your favorite movie of the year twenty seventeen?
I must say it's Wonder Woman. When the movie was released in June last year, my parents were eager to take me to see it.
Why did your parents want to take you to watch it so much?
They considered it quite a different movie. You know, it is really rare to see a female action hero in a big budget movie. And it was also directed by a woman. I guess my parents wanted to show me that women could be powerful too.
So do you think that the movie was a big success?
You bet. It made more than 400 million dollars in ticket sales in the United States. In fact, there were only two bigger money makers among that years movies.
Did you watch any other movies directed by women in twenty seventeen?
Certainly. Women were in charge of more than 60 films in that year, including Before I Fall, Lady Bird and Battle of the Sexes. Among these three, I preferred the last.
