DVD Reviews of Rosie the Riveter
DVD Review: WWII Homefront : The Women !
Summary: 5 Stars
The Home Front : Rosie The Riveter is a well-made and thoroughly engaging video documenting the role of women at home, in the workplace and in the military during World War 2. There is lots of great footage, some you've seen and lots you probably have not seen. Especially of interest were the newsreel and other 'propaganda' clips. The film is divided into three sections : String of Pearls is about the women who joined the workforce when needed after the men left for war. They did as good a job as the men and looked good doing it. The next section is called On The Shady Side Of The Street and is about the changing sexual mores of the time, and the quick marriages that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. The third section is named It's Been A Long Long Time, about the end of the war and all the GIs returning home after victory. I really liked the film very much, and recommend it highly. Specifically, I thought it was great that they did not try to glamorize the war, nor did they play the tragedy and heartbreak angle to get a reaction. Also, the women, while objectified and trivialized in the newsreels and other footage of the time, are not at all looked down upon by the folks that made this video. Quite the opposite actually. One of my favorite dvds.
