So is Mona Lisa smiling ?Well the answer is not here yet nor did I expected it in the movie...but looks like girls in the movie (Julia Roberts and her 'elite' students) still keep the mystery intact!
An interesting movie , with such a beautiful starcast, enacted superbly by each one of them...leaves the question where it was ...to where it will be..Nothing to the name, folks, this movie is all about one 'progressive' woman ..akka Julia Roberts trying to 'liberate' the so called 'conservative' girl students of an orthodox 'cultured' Wellesley college of 1950s America ....boy, where is that!! The girls smoked cigratte, discussed contraceptives, drank wine and had flings, ....so what kind of liberation were they talking about ??
"Well, Julia uses her art teachings as a vehicle to put across her opinion to the young women that her students need not conform to stereotypes of women made by society, or the roles made for them by society, as women born to become housewives and mothers. She feels that women could do more things in life than solely adopt the roles of wives and mothers. In one scene of the movie, she shows her students four newspaper ads, and asks them to question what the future will think of the idea that women are born into the roles of wives and mothers."
Sony (the filmmakers) say that "MONA LISA SMILE is a funny, inspiring and uplifting film about an art history professor with a lot to teach about life and much to learn about romance."
Yes, and much to be seen too....though the film credits much of its tale to its music, costume, screenplay and acting...everything else was a mystery...just like Mona Lisa's smile.
