One of the best movies to come out all year is “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.” It’s visually stunning, features some incredible primate performances and tells a compelling story. It also does a better job of illustrating why women deserve a seat the table, both in the legal profession and in seats of power in general, than just about any piece of fiction I’ve seen in the last decade.
The movie includes only two female characters, neither of whom steps outside her role as wife/girlfriend. Perhaps not coincidentally—and anybody who knows even the slightest bit about the Apes franchise won’t consider this a spoiler—the viewer knows from the outset that war between the humans and the apes is inevitable. After all, the movie isn’t called “Dawn of the Planet of the Humans.”
