Mona Lisa Smile Review

I enjoyed the movie Mona Lisa Smile very much and it was a surprisingly interesting movie. The story line was very insightful and I loved the overall idea that everyone should be their own person and find out what they enjoy, whether it be exactly what society wants you to be or the complete opposite. The most insightful theme to me would have to be the drive to overcome the image that you have set for yourself and find something new in the world. Being able to prevail over the atmosphere around you and the appearance that you set for yourself is extremely challenging, but it can be one of the most rewarding experiences in a person's life. If I had to choose a favorite part, I think it would be when the professor was showing her students the advertisements that told women how to live and feel about themselves and their career. I believe that that was the point where many of the girls finally began to realize that they wouldn't be satisfied for the life that society had laid out for them and that they wanted something more out of life.
