Review of The Aeronauts (2019) by Houndofculaine — 01 Jul 2020
Another 'Based on a true story' that takes the exploits of two male pioneers of meteorology, who broke records as early explorers of ballooning, but replaces one with a made up female character, and then has the female character do ALL the heroics whilst the actual hero, James Glaisher cowers in the bottom of the balloon!
They even belittle James crawling the Amelia at the end of the film, on two clearly broken legs. But the films all like 'don't worry now, I've got you and you'll be fine!' as Amelia is going to carry him back?!?!
Another classic 2019 film where women are amazing but all men are pointless. Oh yeah that's really balanced. It's about time Hollywood stop banging this ideological drum and started producing films where all sexes and races are treated equally.
