Suffragette Screening 5th November

Suffragette Update - Movie Thoughts

On the 5th of November i went to see the movie in Regent Street with the rest of my class. It was a great experience to be able to go to a cinema that holds so much history in addition it was good experience to go somewhere other than the mainstream theater such as an Odeon or Vue.

Initially me and my group that i traveled with towards Regent street got slightly 
lost upon finding the cinema but after a 
couple phone calls we had soon found it and were able to meet with the rest of the class.

Upon entry we were presented with film handouts displaying the headliners of the cast and quotes from acclaimed movie reviews.

The audience were closely monitored by a woman from 'Into Film' accompanied by a small camera crew who briefly filmed the audience before and after the movie.


Review
Personally i enjoyed the film, the cast managed to portray complex and believable characters from a historic era where the Suffragette movement took hold. In particular the sensational Carey Mulligan managed carry the film as the main actress exceptionally, fully immersing me in the film, especially during the emotional scene with her child. I  always prefer not to know about movies before i watch them so i have more in store to be surprised by however the setting is difficult to avoid, 'Suffragette' but this didn't take away from the quality of the movie.

Q and A 

Thanks to 'Into Film' we were treated with the opportunity of a Q and A session with the screenwriter, Abi Morgan and Suffragette actress Romola Garai.
During the Q and A questions were posed to both the screenwriter and Romola, who were extremely open and did their utmost to answer each question effectively, which was achieved.
