Antonia
Antonia is a fictional character from the movie Antonia's Line. She's the stong, loving head of her (extented) family over several generations. She brings up her daughter on her own in the time after WWII. Antonia does her own thing, she withstands people talking bad about her, she stands up bravely against some felonious men, she protects her family.
IMDB describes the plot as follows: A Dutch matron establishes and, for several generations, oversees a close-knit, matriarchal community where feminism and liberalism thrive
This really hits the nail on the head. Feminism, liberalism and love can thrive in this wonderful movie. I highly recommend it.
For good measure, I throw in a photo of the actress, Willeke van Ammelrooy.
Sophia:
Great choice Chrissi. I think when you look at the pics you can see that Antonia is a strong women.
Sason:
Thanks for the recommendation Chrissi!
It sounds like a really good movie!
I haven't heard about it before, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for it.
We aren't exactly flooded by feministic movies about strong matriachs!!

Yes, do that, you won't regret it. Above all, it's a very lovable movie. The audience doesn't get hit over the head with any political/feminist message. The latter is a 'byproduct' of a charming story full of wonderful characters.

You can say that twice and mean it!

Yes, I agree that Antonia's Line is a really good movie! I've only seen it once... but, now I have the urge to watch it again. Maybe I'll add it to my DVD library soon.
