I saw "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women", starring Luke Evans- The Fast & the Furious movies, Clash of the Titans_2010; Rebecca Hall- Iron Man 3, The Prestige; Bella Heathcote-Fifty Shades Darker, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Connie Britton-Nashville_tv, A Nightmare on Elm Street_2010. This is based on a true story about the man that created the comic book hero, Wonder Woman, in 1941. If you know me, you know that I know a little bit about comics so I did know some of the facts in the movie, but not all of them. Luke plays William Moulton Marston, a psychology professor at Harvard that was studying human emotions and had theories about dominance & submission in relationships. He came up with what he called the DISC theory-Dominance, Inducement, Submission & Compliance-which he said was the basis of all relationships. He was a feminist and besides being married to Rebecca, he also had a female student, Bella, that he & his wife became lovers with. Oh yeah, he invented the lie detector machine, which he incorporated into his comic book creation-remember Wonder Woman's magic lasso of truth? He took different characteristics from Rebecca & Bella to use in creating Wonder Woman and also had children with both women but he did receive some resistance to the sexual connotations that he slipped into the comics-there was a lot of light bondage portrayed in his books. Connie plays the head of the children's group that did not think his Wonder Woman book was suitable for the young readers and her interviews with Luke are shown throughout the movie. If you are a comic fan like me, you will probably enjoy it a little more than the average viewer-or if you are into role playing &/or bondage. It's rated "R" for language and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 48 minutes. It's not for everyone but I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
