Are women really liberated? What I mean to say by liberation includes the conservative thoughts and perceptions of society( includes women) on women. The world has gone through several revolutions and still going through it today. So do women.
As time passes, the role of women in the social strata has metamorphosed as well. Time requires women to change. However, it is devastating that women are not given the space for them to play on. This is because the narrow minded society do not give itself time to ponder about women who are also a part of them.
The saddest thing of all is that most of the women out there are being brought up with the conservative way which is so called the 'art of being a WOMAN'. Therefore, these partially 'blind' women often become vague when it comes to decision making. They do not know what they actually want. Although they want liberation from the society, they keep the desire dying within themselves as they are taught to sacrifice, but they are not slaughter lambs of course.
Women should keep their minds clear. They should know what they want. They should be aware that they have the rights to make decisions; to decide their paths of life. Nothing should be let to interfere and bog them down. That's is what Katherine Ann Watson was trying to infuse into her students in the movie, Monalisa Smile.
The title of the movie itself is very provocative. Is Monalisa really smiling? Is Monalisa is man or woman?(controversial). The degree of provocation that the title poses, in a way stir the audience to ask themselves more questions when they watch the movie.
