78.) Suffragette [11/17/2015]

The struggle about voting rights for women is full of interesting and courageous women, and several of those were featured in the film, including Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep) and Emily Davison (Natalie Press), the last of who literally gave her life for the cause, but strangely, none of these people were the protagonist of the film; instead, Carey Mulligan played a fictionalized character who really had no impact on the movement or voting rights, leaving me to wonder why the film focused so intently on her.
