Review of Private Benjamin (1980) by Sherry W — 31 Aug 2008
A gifted comedian has to be both generous and selfish. Available to the other actor but hard pressed about what he or she wants. When Judy gets up and refuses to sign herself back over to her father (and big sunglass wearing sobbing mother - fantastic cameo by Barbara Barbie) and stands a saluttes Captain Lewis- We feel the change happen deep within Goldies system - the perspective of the little girl to a different woman running the show.
It's a triburte to Goldie Hawn's talent. The themes in this film are very adult and feministic and perhaps a good reason why the actress never chose to marry. She committed to this theme with all of her heart and maybe resided herself to never rely on a man again - for life.
We are grateful.
