Hi, yes, hello and welcome to the channel. If you're new here, hi, my name is Ashley. Today, I'm watching "Working Girl," a movie I've wanted to see for a long time. It's notable for featuring Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford.
Having not seen Sigourney Weaver since "Ghostbusters" and "Alien," I was excited to revisit her work. For those interested in influencing my viewing schedule, it's determined by patrons who vote on what I watch.
Now, onto "Working Girl," a film that stars both Weaver and Ford. It also inspired an episode of "Bob's Burgers," titled "Work Hard or Die Trying Girl."
"Working Girl" is a quintessential 80s movie with iconic scenes like seeing the Twin Towers. It delves into Tess McGill's life, played by Melanie Griffith, a secretary with big aspirations. The movie depicts Tess navigating a male-dominated business landscape while managing personal betrayals, notably from her then-boyfriend.
Tess's journey is both inspiring and empowering as she maneuvers through corporate hurdles imposed by her boss, portrayed by Weaver. Throughout the film, Tess takes bold steps toward claiming her ideas and pursuing success.
One appealing element is the robust representation of seasoned actors. Alec Baldwin even makes an appearance as Tess's unfaithful boyfriend. The movie masterfully intertwines humor with drama, making it a favorite for many.
Overall, the film is a testament to perseverance and ingenuity in the face of adversity, wrapped in the cultural essence of the 1980s. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in films that highlight strong female leads triumphing in the corporate world.
So if you're a fan of 80s cinema or enjoy seeing actors like Weaver and Ford shine, "Working Girl" is worth your time. Ashley rates it four out of five stars for its engaging story and powerful performances.
