Profesor Marston in čudežne ženske

Slovenski opis filma:

Drama v 1940-ih letih v ZDA spremlja avtorja zgodbe o Čudežni ženski ter psihologa s Harvarda dr. Williama Marstona – čigar stripovsko junakinjo je navdihnila njegova deljena ljubezen do žene in študentke, ki je postala njuna ljubimka. Zgodba o izvoru lika superjunaka, kakršne še ni bilo – resnična biografska drama o tistem, kar je uglednega psihologa s Harvarda dr. Williama Moultona Marstona navdihnilo, da je v 1940-ih v ZDA ustvaril legendarni strip o Čudežni ženski. Medtem ko so Marstonovo feministično superjunakinjo cenzorji kritizirali zaradi domnevne "spolne perverznosti" in pomanjkljive obleke, je Marston prikrival neko skrivnost, ki bi ga utegnila uničiti. Njegovi muzi in vir navdiha za lik Čudežne ženske sta bili njegova žena Elizabeth Marston ter njuna ljubimka Olive Byrne, odločna študentka in sila nekonvencionalna oseba, ki je s profesorjem sodelovala pri raziskavi vedenja. Tako se je odvijalo resnično skrivno življenje, ki se je kosalo z največjimi preoblekami in krinkami stripovskih junakov.

Originalni opis filma:

detail the unconventional life of Dr. William Marston, the Harvard psychologist and inventor who helped invent the modern lie detector test and created Wonder Woman in 1941. Marston was in a polyamorous relationship with his wife Elizabeth, a psychologist and inventor in her own right, and Olive Byrne, a former student who became an academic. This relationship was key to the creation of Wonder Woman, as Elizabeth and Olive's feminist ideals were ingrained in the character from her creation. Marston died of skin cancer in 1947, but Elizabeth and Olive remained a couple and raised their and Marston's children together. The film is said to focus on how Marston dealt with the controversy surrounding Wonder Woman's creation.
