The Notorious RBG reeked of appropriated culture at the hands of middle-class White feminists. The whole documentary is hero service about a woman icon by women for women. It might as well have been a chick flick or rom-com with all its corny jokes and forced laughter. I grew so tired of the shots of audience members smiling and laughing at humor that was meant for old people. It felt like those students in class who laugh at a professor's jokes just because they know it could win them favor.
Don't mistake my view here though. I think Justice Ginsburg is a fantastic woman. Her story is an inspiration to many young women as it should be. She has broken down unjust barriers in American society and that should be praised.
I take qualms with the politics pushed so strongly here from feminists who call Justice Scalia a nutcase basically in an interview. This documentary left me with more questions than answers. The answers I did receive were not even ones that I was even looking for when I started the film. My time would have been spent much better working on school assignments than spending 90+ minutes watching a bunch of liberals worship their feminist hero. I would not revisit this movie ever. I felt as though I should have not watched it at all.
