Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

The unconventional life of William Marston (Luke Evans), a Harvard psychologist and inventor who helped make the Lie Detector a reality and who also created the comic book character Wonder Woman in 1941. Marston had a polygamous relationship involving his wife Elizabeth Marston (Rebecca Hall), a psychologist and inventor, and Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote), a former student turned academic. This relationship and the feminist ideals of the two women were essential to the creation of the character.
This is without a doubt a film, like the life of William Marston, unconventional. For he doesn't talk about the creation of Wonder Woman, one of the iconic characters of the comics or how to have a life together.
Not. Professor Marston and the Wonder Women talks about acceptance. Not one we expect from other people, like friends and family, but from ourselves.
Throughout the film we have a formidable display of how the relationship between the three grows. How they mature and learn who they are, their limits and those of those they love.
At no time will the direction of Angela Robinson dare to tell the viewer that what we see on the screen is right or wrong. In saying that our “moralisms” must be rethought. No way. She respects our intelligence and who we are, just putting a life on the screen, with its successes and mistakes.
Another point is the way in which sex is shown. At no point in the film do we see Marston, played by Luke Evans, look at his partners lustfully or as a male fetish of seeing two women touching. He watches them with affection, love, something that goes beyond a carnal relationship, transformed into desire and that sharing that is the same as possessing. For when they love each other, he possesses their love, for she loves them.
And the same in reverse.
This film goes beyond the scripted and easy-to-place cliché that love conquers all. To transform the relationship into a drama with crying and prejudice. The script knows that its story is something from real life, from a concrete event and that life itself is already full of conflicts.
This is a movie that in addition to showing and reminding us in parts that he was the creator of the Lie Detector and Diana Prince, a lot of what we read in the comics, in movies, wherever, was created by people who also had problems and motivations. And that no matter what element of life we may be going through, we all need a source, an “inspirational muse” to live. And his, without a doubt, were his Wonder Women.
And let the curtains go up! To the next!!
