I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

How sad is this?

A Major Disappointment

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I watched this movie at home on DVD from our public library. While it is "based" on a true story there is a large part of it fabricated by the writer/director as her interpretation of what might have happened among the family.It starts in the 1920s, Luke Evans is Professor of Psychology William Marston. Rebecca Hall portrays his wife, Elizabeth Marston. He has a student, a pretty young girl of 22, that starts to work for them, she is Bella Heathcote as Olive Byrne.Much of the story has Professor Marston inventing the lie detector which isn't really accurate, he invented the blood pressure cuff. But this story portrays them using a lie detector as a vehicle to get to the truth of their complicated relationships.They are portrayed as a family of three, not just a man with two female lovers, but also two females with female lovers. Together they had several children. It is presented that Wonder Woman was inspired by his two women and that he wanted to give young girls a role model that would help them realize they had options and powers also.Regardless of the truth presented in the movie it is factual that after Marston died relatively young the two women remained together until Olive died. So there was something there. Altogether a very well-made movie and regardless of the actual relationships Marston really did invent Wonder Woman and the comic books featuring her.

In 1928 Radcliffe Colleges, William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans) is a professor with his wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall). They are taken with beautiful student Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) and recruit her as a test subject. She's the daughter and niece of prominent liberated women despite being left to be raised by nuns. They develop a complicated family group as well as create the lie detector and comic book icon Wonder Woman. In 1945, Marston is interrogated by Josette Frank of the Child Study Association of America as Wonder Woman comics are burned publicly.This is a fantastical tale of the true origins of Wonder Woman. It's a more adult fare comparable to the TV show Masters of Sex. The movie would work better to explain the sexual climates of the 20s to the 40s. A little more exposition would set up the their outsider relationship. It also clashes with the family-friendly modern comic book franchises. It is more adventurous than even the needs of a puritan sexuality of movie comics. A better title would be Sexual Perversions of Wonder Woman but that would drive away the kiddie crowd that races to the modern comic book movies. There is a conflict between the real subjects and the reality of the PG-13 franchises. Surprisingly, there is real heart in these characters and this movie delivers real conflicts.

Raw, gutsy, confronting, bullsh*t free. 50 Shades teases and promises much but barely touches on core material which here is so openly dealt with.I'm pretty open-minded, but the very unconventional values depicted here are so frank and honest I would feel awkward watching this with most people who wouldn't be so inclined, and who would almost certainly turn away in disgust.Marston's advocated DISC Dominance Inducement Submission Compliance theory and used comic book character Wonder Woman with its overtly sadomasochistic themes to portray how women can be powerful. His polyamorous relationship with wife Elizabeth and mistress Olive, and the women with each other, is something which would still not be widely accepted even today.If you're jaded with most movies and want something to challenge and wake you up, watch this!

Rebecca Hall is supposed to be in her 30's during this time period where she plays Elizabeth Marston, yet her makeup, clothes, and slow talking make her look over 50 years old. I'm also very sure all of the bondage element in Wonder Women comics from that time period were not anything as graphic as the comics shown in the film. The intimate involvements of the Marstons and teaching assistant Olive are very tame, "vanilla flavored" scenes as one critic described them. The second half where the Marston's son is bullied is overdone especially where Marston confronts the other boy's father. The other actors do fine, but tend to mumble or whisper the most important lines, not helping dramatic effect as well as the director thought. The backroom show in the lingerie shop was too tame also, it just needed maybe a fake whipping to wake us up from all the quiet pauses and tension, sometimes so drawn out it makes me think the actors forgot their lines.
