Lessons from Charlie’s Angels

Pic credits: taken from the internet..

I gift myself movies on my birthday :)

One of the movie I watched in November 2019, in a grand multiplex was Charlie’s Angels

which felt like a women’s day show; fewer people, only ladies

Clearly, nobody cares about Charlie or his Angels here ;)

The movie is revolved around a tech nerd, who happens to code (that’s what a nerd means :P ) and is a woman :)

And surreal things happening in this movie

1. Women supporting women
2. Women capable of fighting on there own
3. Women whistle-blowing and then under life-threatening situations
4. Exquisite locations
   (I’m so going to visit Istanbul, someday )
5. Great songs remixed from the 70’s
   (Bad girls by Donna Summer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥)
6. Manager jokes — those were so lethal, it hurt
7. Few old (read very old movie references ), which I didn’t know
   Wait, what Birdman was Batman?
8. RGB being an Angel
9. Mostly importantly, the institution going international and run by a woman (ouch …!!!)
10. What hurt me the most that the two gentlemen of Hollywood — Sir Patrick Stewart and Sam Claflin played the bad guys. Why O, Why ?!?
    Maybe, no one else agreed ….
11. I loved Sam Claflin’s ringtone — “All I do is win”
12. Kristen Stewart being outright gay; she looked like a Hrithik Roshan Double to me in many places, shykes .. she managed to twist my hormones
13. The Angel’s closet, I mean wardrobe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
14. Every time I helped close a great sales deal, I would sing “How’s it done” …!!!! what a song ..

These are some pointers in my techie brain

What’s more fascinating is the Psychology

Men will be Men and Women are Women,
it does not matter which country, culture, race etc etc, you belong to

I expected this movie to be a hit in the US

I mean here, I am an outsider loving this movie

and would earn tremendous hate of being too english/ american whatever that is, in knowing so much about an American chic flick

However, I think it was Elizabeth Banks image of bashing men, I guess (Let’s blame it on her ) , which lead to this movie becoming everything about a gender race;

Completely ignoring the fact, that this version, was way way better than the predecessors

More interesting is the fact, that this movie turned out to be the most watched film during the pandemic

And that stats made me re-visit my thinking,
So what changed?

Why the tanked movie is now most watched?

and Aren’t we all the same?

Despite every geographical, cultural, race differences;

Aren’t we all the same?
