Iron Jawed Angels

Iron Jawed Angels - in which Hilary Swank tells the real story of Alice Paul, the suffragette who was jailed as a POLITICAL PRISONER in 20th century America. There is a ton of modern music (Sarah McLaughlin) and weird cinematography/edits to convey how contemporary the story of women suffrage truly is. Okay, so Alice Paul has a hot friend named Lucy Burns, and they historically formed the National Women's Party after parting on bad terms with Angelica Huston and Anna Howard Shaw and the NAWSA over political differences (aka how to attain suffrage, state by state or constitutional amendment). From their Washington DC office, Alice and Lucy recruit a bunch of women in the high stakes world of the real world, where feminism and political activism can get you locked up. BUT NO ONE IS GAY, McDreamy is a reporter Alice Paul has romantic lunch with several times, but no sex because she's a Quaker. Not because she's gay. Because she's not, okay? Whatever, the graphic masturbation scene spliced with learning to drive a car, all under mother-fucking Stumbling Towards Ecstasy, are you kidding me??? Moving on, Alice Paul and her friends picket the Woodrow Wilson White House until WWI were declared, then they keep doing it, and are locked up for made up infractions, and taken as political prisoners in 20th century America. Lucy Burns was the first person to get arrested for suffrage, but Alice Paul was later arrested, force fed while she was on a hunger strike, and effected real political change through much suffering. This movie is historically accurate, so that's good. But silly, somehow. Then the 19th Amendment passes congress, and everyone throws their hats in the air! Cue more gay music.
