These three butt-kicking women are the original boss ladies
who paved the way for all of us when it comes to representation of a strong
female lead in the film industry. We want to see strong females represented
within the films we watch so young girls and boys the next generation of actors
and actresses see them selves. You don’t want to see just race representation.
You also want to see positive, enlightened, well informed, and diverse
characters when it comes to the new films that are made in this century. It has
expanded all over the globe and it’s important that we continue on that path.
So that more original stories can be told on television and film screens.
Stories that show women can be powerful, complex, they can multitask, and still
maintain their dignity, pride, are open minded willing to show we want to get
involved in all different industries. We want to leave a mark. These characters
represent that well within it’s first pilot episode of “Charlie’s Angels” in
1976 the series last until 1981. The television series was produced by the
iconic genius the hit television hit maker, Aaron Spelling who produced and
wrote, “Beverly Hills 90210” which would come later. He produced Charlie’s
Angels. The show focuses on three young women who are private investigators and
represent the elusive, Charles Townsend. The show starred, Kate Jackson, Farrah
Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Ladd, Tanya Roberts, and David
Doyle in the original television series.
In the newer 21st
century version of Charlie’s Angels in the 2000 and 2003 version of the brand
it starred, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz. The film I didn’t
realize until I watched it now as an adult I was about 14 when the original
came out and now I see things differently I didn’t notice in the first film. How
empowering and how much of an impact these ladies made when it comes to
empowerment and being your own boss and a vital force in the work industry.
In the 2000 version of Charlie’s Angels you see that the
three women: Alex, Dylan, and Natalie each take down the villain Eric Knox
within the film. To destroy and of course save their boss in the end. We didn’t
realize just how much these women were modern, edgy, strong, and can take on
any challenge when it came to saving the world. The musical soundtrack of
Charlie’s Angels was a hit and included an anthem that women still use today.
The theme song of “Independent Women” (Part 1) written and performed by
Destiny’s Child was one of the biggest songs and hits featured on the album.
Now fast forward nineteen-years later nearly two decades and
Charlie’s Angels is back this time directed, produced by a woman. The
significance of having Elizabeth Banks as the director of the film. It’s very
instrumental to this time and what is happening for women all around the globe.
Especially the entertainment and film industry. This film takes the Charlie’s
Angels brand to a new level. So now enters Kristin Stewart, Naomi Scott, and
Ella Balinska are now the new angels and they are ready to take on every
challenge thrown at them.
The film comes with an amazing new soundtrack with the
titled new track just released this week, “No Angel” performed by Ariana
Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana del Rey are on this song. So get ready to party,
be empowered, inspired, and ladies get ready to earn your wings with Charlie’s
Angels in theaters today Friday November 15th worldwide.
