Commentaire à la une
An insult to the women who served during WW2 in the UK
The title of this review should clearly state my overall opinion of this film.
Within the first 5 minutes: the inaccuracies, blatant sexual bias and pure lack of respect for the women who served in the armed forces during WW2 was astounding.
As the male population decreased through injury or death - a new shield had to come to the fore.
Women worked in factories - clothes factories, weapons factories and munitions factories, raised much need funds, worked as farm hands for little or no pay, as labourers and fore(men) on road and rail projects, as nurses, as doctors and a whole myriad of other positions - formerly the sole purview of men - with all the inherent dangers but with so much less recognition.
Factories of any kind were targets for bombing - as were rail yards and most transport infrastructure. Munitions factories were not only a target - but the handling of highly volatile and unstable explosives could and did lead to catastrophic accidents.
This portrayal of women as mere 'decoration' is little short of a slap to the face, to those women who served this country in its time of deepest need - despite its last 5 minute "we're all together in this" ending.
Many would say that I'm over-reacting and that this film is "of it's time" - a puerile phrase that means nothing - but consider this... my mother has been deaf from age 16, the result of an explosion in the munitions factory she worked in and which also killed both her sisters.
