I don't think that the reason the brother had to stay home was because he was the black sheep of the family, but rather that he had more important things to do, like study physics - since he was a male, education was after all important. ~Juliann | I don't think that the reason the brother had to stay home was because he was the black sheep of the family, but rather that he had more important things to do, like study physics - since he was a male, education was after all important. ~Juliann | ||

| + | Amanda makes a great point. I know the movie is already long but I am disappointed in the lack of mention to minorities and women's wartime roles. I noticed after I took Dr. M's Women's history class that the film was a great, informative drama that depicted its time but re-enforces the propaganda of the time telling women where their place was. Even women who weren't married lost their jobs in factories or other positions when soldiers came home. I love the adorably innocent Theresa Wright in every film she is in, but Peggy lacks some dimension- Wilma has already got the role of selfless sweet, girl-next-door. Peggy tries to split up a marriage but I thought her character could have gone farther in pushing the norms of female roles, making them more realistic (or how about just more progressive)!--Jackie Reed | ||
