Truly one of the most touching movies I have seen to date, this movie approaches conservatism with such clarity. It dispels with the image of America being devoid of what we here in India call 'moral values'. Thank you for having uploaded it. Its bound to create a lasting impression, and I assure you Ms. katherine Ann Watson has broken through a lot many walls other than those depicted in the film.
love this movie, it's one of my all time faves :) julia is such a great actress and i love the message to follow your own path without regard to what others may think or say
we saw the first 5 minutes of this movie for orientation. they meant to show us how we should study the subject before we take classes... which is somewhat ironic after seeing the whole thing.
thanks so much for posting this! my A.P. U.S. History teacher mentioned this movie while we were in the chapter about women during the 50's and I wanted to see it ever since, so I was really happy to see that someone had put it on YouTube (and that the picture quality is great)! this movie really helped me understand what women in the 50's had to go through (just like how the movie Iron-Jawed Angels helped me understand what women had to go through just to get the right to vote). thanks again!
While I'm very into nostalgia, and I wish some things would make a comeback, I'm glad that some things have changed and have progressed. I love the music, films, styles of earlier eras etc but I don't know if I would have wanted to live back then, just have a time machine and go back and visit, LOL. Great movie, by the way.
I don't know. If I was in Katherine's place, after receiving all those paint-by-numbers canvases, I might have changed my mind and stayed. She DID make a difference and even with the extra restrictions placed upon her by the school, she could still have worked in her own bit of magic in between the lines of the standard syllabus. This has become one of my favorite films, even though I KNOW it's full of anachronisms and flaws, I still enjoy the nostalgic sense of a "simpler time."
@TheKimmyJade19 yeah, in saying that though I still think it's important to get an education and if you do choose to be a housewife make sure it's a sustainable choice where you're not bludging off the government. On top of that you need ways to keep your mind occupied- talking babies and cleaning products may be novel for a while but you don't want your brain to turn to goop =D
Being from Pakistan, I can completely relate to the women in this movie. In my culture, being married and being a wife is still considered the number one important thing in life but we can still go after our career if we want=] women sure have come far!
Great movie !!! Julia stiles Is really elegant and Julia roberts Is amazing !!! Kirsten dunst is not to bad and the subject Is really important to compare women conditions in the history ... Really Well done . :)
thanks for uploading this video. I've tried to catch up on the last words of elizabeth. "I've heard her call a quitter for living, an aimless wanderer but not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond an ancient." did I hear it right? LOL

@RichKnight2010 Sexism is something deeply ingrained in our culture of humanity as a whole, we cannot change it it without attacking everything around us. It would be wonderful if no one got looked down on, but it'll take a long time to change, so don't be so down and look at other cases of supression because it envelopes our world. :)
Thanks for uploading! I always find this movie ot be insiprational and very deep and intoxicating. I think that everyone should have a kind of class like Ms. Watson's where you learn something about yourself in the process, opening up to something new and delicious. Thank you very much!
Thank you for the movie. Being an Indian girl from modern India I can completly relate to the women in America then. And how people like Ms. Watson are till date are looked down for choosing the life they chose and not the society chose for them. American women have come a long way since bringing hope to women from countries like mine. Proud to be a woman.
I think that it's interesting how the videos of the 1950s shown at the end mirror what Roberts said to her students- how will they judge us? A girdle, A soap ad, In truth advertising and home ec edco videos are very much part of what the modern image of the 1950s american dream in pop culture. Advertising is after all what a culture projects is the ultimate luxury that's going to make your life better. I really liked this, someday we might be someone else's 1950s.
@dragonflynoir10 once again thank u for all the videos u upload i enjoy watching them;)and this is one of my favorite movies along with iron jawed angels and a few others ;)!! this last part always make me cry + julia roberts amazing actress :love her and all her movies:) thnx a lot! but i still think that poeple shouldnt think that all women should have carrers ,there are stay at home moms and that may i say is the greatest job ever,crazy world never fair, how about settling in the midlle ;) :d
you know, usually when the couple does not get back together i usually feel sad, but that didn't happen this time. It just felt right, cause I feel she did what was right for her. And all of these actresses were AWESOME!!!!!
I love this movie so much! That ending is FANTASTIC! When all the girls are around the car to show that they want to follow her, remember her and they want her to remember them. I just LOVE it!

WW2 decimated so many men,that to get a man a woman had to be a mother at home.The late 60's saw women throwing away false eyelashes.One day people will laugh at us,we can have a career,family or both, yet we have false eyelashes,teethwhitner,false breasts and dirty,cynical minds (generalization).It will change and then change again.That's why you should question today's standards and decide to join,or change.
Wow the end really got to me, how much Katherine meant to the girls especially Betty who was so confused but probably Katherine's teaching meant more to her than anybody. I think it's important you form that union in school, maybe it's because my high school was very [very] small and had a limited amount of students but you form a bond between your classmates and teachers that you almost feel like family.
@fire34fly I don't really get how American schools are filled with so much students, do you really get encouraged by your teachers on a personal level or is that frowned upon to get too close with your students?
Well thank God our society is not like that anymore..females in the work force competing with men who are equal I do love the sense of family unity the 50 produced now a days the family is sepreated by all these different techonology everyone is off doing their own thing. Most Families don't even eat together anymore only on speacial occassions :(
Is that such a bad thing? Maybe we're just more honest? More individualistic? I don't see much proof that families were genuinely closer than they are now. Families, like humans, have the same problems and faults no matter what era they're in.
O no LOL-its a great thing that women are equal now with men, I dont think the 50s are better then today's generation I just think that they had a way of hiding if there were any problems in the home. Now a days its common for people to get divorce & children to bridge gaps with parents etc. But you got to admitt the 50's appered to be more "wholesome" & family orientated on the outside regardless that was the true nature of the home.
This movie always leaves me a little melancholy. I think it's almost reversed these days that if you don't have a career and choose to be a housewife instead you're somewhat looked down upon?
@hobobetty I think you have point but there is also the issue of how even career women are supposed to do the work of a housewife practically. Childcare, cooking and cleaning still fall for the most part on the woman in most heterosexual relationships. Lawyers and doctors are still expected to have dinner on the table.
@hobobetty No, I dont think it's that. It's more, if you believe that's all there is in the world for you to do, weather you'd want to or not. If being a housewife truly makes you happy, and fufills you, then there isn't a thing wrong with it. BUT, if you have other dreams and goals beond that, you should make sure you go for them. :)
It's like Joan said, "You're the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This is what I want." If a woman can stay at home and raise her kids, more power to her. My mother is one and she is one of the strongest, most intelligent women I know. And I am grateful for the example she sets for me. How hypocritical it is that we tell women that we can do anything we want and then limit ourselves to "real" careers?
A splendid and moving motion picture. Thank you for posting.
