Mona Lisa Smile Day #1

Comment on how the film is portraying the time period of the 1950s.

So far the film is portraying the 1950's because it represents the role of young women during that time. Most of the girls that go to Wellsey want to raise a family after that and marry their husband. The only reason that they are attending this prestigious school is because they want to have that special degree but it really doesn't matter to them. Most of the girls so far in Julia Robert's classroom are extremely smart and somewhat arrogant. They portray the way that most young women were in the 1950's. They went to a good college, were smart, got married and became housewives. This is basically how the 1950's were. Women went to college and then directly got married for the most part.
