The movie 9 to 5 depicts what you would think the movie would be a comedy. However it goes deeper than that. The writer did her own research on how woman felt they were treated in the “business” world. All the actors pretty much never worked in that type of environment and they each showed off their own take of the situation. Their research basically conducted of entering the work place and living the life of these women in this type of environment.
Feminism was apparent and sexism. The woman were treated as if they were slaves to the “man” or boss, even woman as senior executives were passed over for a man. Even if the man was at entry level he would have gotten the promotion before the woman. It’s crazy to see how times have changed and most women now own their own businesses or are the CEO’s of companies.
When they finished this movie they thought they were only speaking to “working” woman but they actually spoke to children, teenagers, anyone who ever had an authority figure in their life? I really enjoy watching this movie and now understanding how they came about making it really inspires me to dig deeper in other films that may have an underlying message that we may not see.
To actually go above and beyond just writing a story they actually went to the basics. That is why this movie was so popular. It showed to the working woman of this era that we hear you and we want to in harsh words exploit these types of scenarios in hopes of maybe fighting against the sexism in the workplace. It also gives woman a bond and inner strength to fight back, or bring out their Feminism side.
