Conscious Cinema: Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is a 2017 American biographical drama film about American psychologist William Moulton Marston, who created the fictional character Wonder Woman, and his wife Elizabeth and their mutual lover Olive Byrne. In addition to helping him perfect the lie detector test, the two women also inspire him to create one of the greatest female superheroes of all time — the beloved comic book character Wonder Woman.

One of two movies about Wonder Woman during 2017, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is based upon a true story of three social pioneers during the 1930s and 40s in the United States. Social issues of feminism, and so-called “unconventional” sexuality and polyamorous relationships, serve as the backdrop for the creation of one of the most beloved and strongest women characters of all time, Wonder Woman.

“‘Professor Marston’ also couldn’t be more relevant, and not just because it happens to be hitting theaters just four months after the release of the smash-hit blockbuster ‘Wonder Woman.’ It’s a timely affirmation of feminine power – of the ways in which female wisdom and strength can charge hearts and minds, influence culture and inspire others to be their most authentic selves.” — Roger Ebert
