Two wildly different Movies that are alike


FUTURE:
I watched "Bird Box" on Netflix to see what all the talk was about. This is a good movie starring Sandra Bullock and is a tense story. In last year's "A Quiet Place" Aliens have invaded but they are blind. But if you make noise they will get you. In Bird Box if you go out side to see they will get you through your eyes.  Yikes!  Great fun.    2019 Movie 2   I give it ***1/2 stars.


PAST:
"Mary Queen of Scots" is the retelling of Mary, Queen of Scotland and her life.  It shows her world where she once was married to the King of France. He dies and she returns to Scotland to claim her throne but also sets her sites on England.  She was the daughter of King Henry of England but the throne was taken by her cousin Queen Elizabeth.  This is Monarchy at its most treacherous.  Great acting.  2019 Movie 3  It is ****star


The thing these movies have in common are three  strong women who face great odds in a male dominant world.  Sandra Bullock's character faced great odds, but so did Mary.  Another common bond is how they all viewed the importance of children in their lives.
