Movie #1714 "On the Basis of Sex" is a very talky movie, but one I most enjoyed. There are several intelligent conversations about the the lack of equality between the sexes. Not only does the film instruct on the main cases RBG took on early in her career, it shows how she tried to juggle several jobs over the course of those first couple of years of studying, teaching, taking care of Marty (who had a health issue) and the home.....so much to do, and her strength to get the job done. We've heard that she hardly slept in those years, but it is so inspiring to see the whirlwind we now known as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. If you saw the documentary, this one fleshes out those first few years that laid the foundation for all the work she did to change the laws that were gender discriminating. What a heroine!!! and worthy of many movies on her. I give this 4.5 for a very intelligent script, but one that almost totally relies on dialogue. So not for everybody!
"ON THE BASIS OF SEX" 2 hours
Sex depicts a then-struggling attorney and new mother facing adversity in her fight for equal rights. When Ruth takes on a ground-breaking case, she knows the outcome could alter the courts' view of gender discrimination. Stronger together, Ruth teams up with her husband, Martin Ginsburg, to fight the case that catapults her into one of the most important public figures of our time.
