|
| point: |
Yentl fell in love with a study friend
at the school. However since she undercover herself as a boy,
there comes lots of misunderstandings and prejudices. And Yentl
was nearly engaged to his girlfriend, which is a lesbian element
in this movie. The process a girl becomes self-reliant with
passion for learning is awesome. This movie was produced, directed,
plotted by Barbra Streisand, featuring her, and the theme song
was sung by her too. Received Best Music, Original Song Score

point.
|
| point: |
How the two conquer problems and deepen
their friendship to love. Woman's toughness in the core can
be seen in both women who seek for each other sometimes cunningly
and sometimes stupidly while husbands fell apart from wives
change. It's an excellent movie of women who support each other
and start to live their own lives.
