“I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.”
Wonder Woman dominated the box office, took the world by storm, and inspired women everywhere to believe in their own strength and hope. The film has created a lasting impact that surpasses the silver screen onto larger discussions of equality.
Now released on Blu Ray/DVD, fans get a chance to dive deeper into the hearts and minds behind the film in a jam packed set that is a definite add to the home collection. Not a single element of the film production was taken for granted. The features provided showcase that prominently. Close attention was made in every aspect from costuming, to period research, to actual photography. The vintage photograph shown in the film was actually taken on set with the same equipment used during that era in the exact same conditions. Rather than create a impersonation, Patty Jenkins wanted to make sure every moment was as realistic as possible.
That level of dedication was passed through everyone involved in the film, including the Amazon warriors that are seen on screen. In one feature, “The Wonder Behind the Camera”, we get a look at the rigorous training and hard work each woman had taken to get ready for the camera. Coming from all walks of life, these women bonded together in a rally of strength and perseverance that is fitting to the overall theme of Wonder Woman herself.
Another fantastic aspect comes from a series of features titled, “A Director’s Vision”. Jenkins and her crew describe storyboard techniques, on location coaching, and rare glimpses into what helped fuel the team’s successes through Jenkins’ leadership. Multiple references were made into the importance of the title character’s origins and unique perspective that drives the story from start to finish.
SoCalThrills also had a chance to review the Target Edition of the film set, which includes a mini book and holographic design that is really stunning. The Target Exclusive features excerpts from Wonder Woman: The Art and Making of the Film. As you can see from the photos below, it’s a beautiful collection. The concept art, descriptions, and images are fun and packed with detail. However, if you are looking for a different edition, there are multiple formats and variations to choose from.
