Angie is a 1994 film that depicts the life of a feisty woman who more or less had lived her life the way she wanted. Going against the norms, Angie had proven herself to be a strong and liberated woman of the 21st century. Approaching thirty, she had spent her whole life in the same neighbor hood with her longtime boyfriend, Vinnie and best friend, Tina. However, Angie’s mind is far from the latter. When Angie gets pregnant, everyone was excited and was expecting that she would marry Vinnie, the father of his son. But when she declined to marry him, Angie’s life turned 360 degrees. Almost everyone had a bad say about it. And I think this issue is still applicable until now. If a woman gets pregnant, people think that marriage is the solution. This is so because society stigmatized mothers who bear a child out of wedlock .But the movie presented this dilemma in a way that movie viewers would truly understand what women in this situation are really going through. It presents realistic views on the traditional expectations on women and the consequences that come with it. Hence, I think this film that deals with events and relationships such as mother-daughter relationship, female friendships and motherhood, which would be generally difficult for men to comprehend.
