You may have seen Gal Gadot in "Fast and Furious," or even yet, her name might not even ring a bell in your head. Remember watching the movie "Wonder Woman" back in June 2017? Chances are, you would remember the female warrior, Gal Gadot, AKA, Wonder Woman, from there.
Even if her name sounds foreign, there is still time to catch up and watch the movie. Now, coming back to the topic, I always thought women were fighting for their own rights. That could be true, but here, as the main character, Gal Gadot dressed up as an object of sexual desire, standing as an idol of subversive feminism.
Without further ado, let's get down to business and celebrate our disgust for Gadot's clothing style.
Wonder Woman was a thriller, but it lacked a feminist characteristic. To me, whatever message Wonder Woman tried to portray through her sex appeal was definitely turned down.
In the D.C. universe, the bro-esque vibes were only alive because many men in the movie oppressed Wonder Woman due to her outside appearance. Heck, Wonder Woman was slammed down by the men only because of her sexuality. Men do think of her as some prodigy, but the audience thinks of her as beautiful, too.
Gadot carried the appeal of a good-looking woman with a slim body and infatuating bone structure to make the alpha men go wild for her. It's interesting to say that only the sexist men go after her beauty and feminism in its entirety is completely disregarded.
Well, if we think about it, who wouldn't go nuts for her? The charming beauty is portrayed as a cisgender and perfect zionist. If that's not only it, she wears a plain grey fitted suit that shows off her model-like body and perfect god-gifted face more than it should. Props to D.C. for creating such hyperactive, sexualized gender roles.
Let me tell you this, I think men drooled over that chick after the premiere.
Critic David Einstein states, "The only grace note in the clunky Wonder Woman is its start, the five-foot-ten-inch Israeli actress and model Gal Gadot, who is somehow the perfect blend of superbabe-in-the-woods innocence and mouthiness."
I totally agree with the quote. Gadot tires me out. Throughout the entire film, she is only portrayed as "a hyperactive sexualized object." I mean, D.C. designed Gadot to be susceptible to forms of degradation. Of course, a woman should be enticing enough to fit the role, but it doesn't mean she has to be extremely vulnerable to the opposite gender.
Like, does Gadot have to be a super-fairy in this DC Universe?
Apparently, Wonder Woman was not only a totally cool superwoman in the " bro" world, but she was probably an object for others to only gawk at her outer appearance. Her beauty called for female empowerment.
And yet, the love story in Wonder Woman creates a background for some intense background scenes. Even though Gadot was raised on an island filled with only women, she finds a man later on toward the first scene of the movie.
Toward the beginning boat scene, Gadot meets that "man," the only and only Chris Pine. She is innocent to Pine's advances toward her, even though he tries to act on the subject.
Gadot lets it all out regarding what she learned about men being important for reproduction but "irrelevant" for purposes of pleasure. Her consent is somewhat blurred along the lines of sexism. She is not able to understand why Chris would not want a man and woman should share the same bed. In other words, her male counterpart, Chris, definitely feels that Gadot lacks knowledge about the shocking effects of human pleasure at all costs.
Yikes! This definitely isn't a mashup of sleeping beauty but a jargon of masculinity and anti-feministic ideals. Uh-oh, the truth is out!
Being a girl who does support feminism and an understanding person of all sexes and everything, this film didn't impress me at all. Yes, I mean not AT ALL. It is quite possible that Gadot's immodest clothing style distracted me for actually a huge part of the film. Her figure accentuated to uncover her female parts to balance the rest of her body was basically too much for me to handle.
I would wonder why I came into a movie where a sexy and strong female binary came into light among pornographic-elicited men, barely understanding the man's motives after the opening scenes on Diana's Island. At any cost, Gadot, to many viewers, could have been trapped by males because of her appeal.
