So, I was looking forward to seeing this movie, & I've gotta tell y'all, it didn't disappoint!! The story: a secret tribe of Amazons live on a hidden island paradise.s They are fierce warriors who live off & respect their environment. Only women reside on this island, no men. So WWII breaks out & the Amazons are completely oblivious; that is until Diana (Gal Gadot aka Wonder Woman) rescues a downed British fighter pilot- with an American accent- from the ocean close to shore. Nazis are hot on his tail, so they soon show up in pursuit. The American (Chris Pine) helps Diana(WW) & her sisters fight them off. The Amazons take casualties & the American falls under suspicion. At this point there's some mythology about the creation of the world & a war among gods. Diana believes that her new friend's arrival signals the fulfillment of a prophecy. She believes the God Aries is behind the Nazi assault and that, if she can just kill Aries, she'll save humanity. Although she's never left her island paradise before, she is tough, to a supernatural degree. She finds that saving humanity is a lot tougher than she ever thought & goes through some culture shock. No matter what happens, she never gives up & does her damnedest to stay true to her Amazonian values & beliefs. She is downright shocked when Chris Pine tells her:'we can't save everyone Diana'. In her close knit Amazon tribe everyone is valued &no Amazon left behind. The immensity of the suffering staggers her & she has to learn some tough lessons. I won't give away any more; this is an epic movie, that , yes, takes some liberties with history but is epic nonetheless.
