translated from Spanish: Captain Marvel, the powerful heroine who overcame prejudice

needed a score of films devoted to the glory of the X-Men, Iron Man and other superheroes until Marvel gave a woman the main role: Captain Marvel is a wonderful show of female power.
In this film, which premiered this week in United States and Latin America, there are women masterfully piloting planes of war or at the head of a very important scientific experiments… and it is clear, Carol Danvers, the unbeatable heroine played by Brie Larson.
Winning the Oscar in 2016 for the room, the actress was known for his roles in independent films and by his feminist statements.
“Women have been starring in movies since the silent film era”, he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We have been part of all the major art movements. People sets us apart once the movement gains momentum and act as if we had never been there”.
To play the superhero with a red and blue suit, the actress underwent months of training.
Danvers, trained to be a Kree Warrior, ends in the middle of an intergalactic war with the Skrulls.
You will very soon realize that who was not thought… but the idea is not to reveal the plot of the film.
On the planet Earth will have their first contact with the agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), a recurring character from the Marvel Universe, and will have the help of slub Goose… a box of surprises.
The Captain Marvel “is one of the most popular and powerful comic book characters and will now be the most powerful Marvel character”, said Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios director, a Disney Company.
Able to fly, shoot cosmic rays, absorb energy, also has a very solid character that has allowed him to take a crucial role in a universe where there is little space for women.
And this movie exploits precisely one side openly feminist, that women do not have to prove anything to men.
Dismantling the stereotype “For years we had to fight the misconception that the audience didn’t want to see movies about superheroines,” said Kevin Feige, Entreteinment Weekly magazine, last September.
“All for movies that didn’t work for 15 years, and I always thought that they did not work but not because they tell stories of women but because they were not good frames”.
He mentions examples of failures as Elektra in 2005, with Jennifer Garner, and Catwoman, a year earlier, with Halle Berry.
As a result, during more than one decade, Marvel had relegated to their female characters that were part of teams of Avengers (Avengers) as the black widow, played by Scarlett Johansson.
In an effort to be more representative, subsidiary of Disney finally responded to the demands of female strong characters on the big screen, as part of the emergence of movements such as the #MeToo.
It also tries to compete with DC Comics, owned by Warner group, which launched women wonder of Patty Jenkins, who was a great box office hit with $ 800 million in 2017.
A sequel, Marvel 1984 female, mid-2020 is expected.
“It obviously enthused I feel that times are changing a little bit and that women are more accepted, but I think there is still much work to do,” said the editor of the film, Debbie Berman, told AFP during the premiere in Hollywood.
The film directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck also develops in the 1990s, an era in which cell phones were not so common and which, without broadband, downloading files from the net much, took long time… One aspect that injects a humor share and play with nostalgia.
The soundtrack also includes Garbage, Hole and No Doubt, issues bands led mainly… by women.
