Craft: (How it was made)

This movie was made with the use of a video camera. Many old clips of the wrestlers and interviews and old photographers were mashed together to form this video. Also new interviews with the wrestlers were added to show how they are doing.

Composition: (Arrangement of Elements)

In the beginning of the film, one of the woman wrestlers was introduced through a game show. The game show was about choosing which individual was the real person. So three people stand on a stage. 2 males, 1 woman. Now the audience has to chose which of the three people is the real professional wrestler. The woman was the real one. In order to introduce and strengthen the directors points of views about the wrestlers, each woman wrestler is introduced through an interview. Along with the interviews are clips of old films of the wrestlers. This film shows us the how the woman started woman wrestling and how they are doing now. Many photographs and small clips are included in this film.

Concept: (What is trying to be said?)

I believe this film was intended to show the public how much sacrifice and work these women put into women wrestling. Many people harassed them and neglected their perseverance. Through it all, these women became famous and accomplished a lot. Women were not seen as equals when their struggle originated, but against all odds these women wrestlers continued to do what they felt was just. These women weren't even paid at times, they were forced to sleep with their bosses and managers. It was very hard to convince society then that women too could do what men did.
