Young Diana in the Competition at the Beginning.
One part of this movie that irked me was the very beginning where Diana competed among the other Amazons in the Olympic style competition. I’ve been wondering how was what she did considered cheating? Yes I know what she did, I saw the same movie movie along with everyone else. I’m saying if anything she used her wits & guile to turn around a major setback into an even greater achievement where one would think she would have been greater rewarded & more impressive to everyone else that she managed to do that. She didn’t sit around & feel sorry for herself but overcame greater odds to prevail.
So she found a way back to her horse through a shortcut she had discovered. She needed to get back to it against the odds & did so, ok so the problem was? If any of the other Amazons had this happen to them do you think they wouldn’t have done the same thing if they had thought of it? Oh that & a even better question to ask is who in the hell was around to see all of this in the first place?
You’re telling me that the entire event was up for surveillance from the very start, where every one could see what was going on? Uh I don’t think so because that would’ve been impossible Again Antiope had no right to stop & disqualify her for this when what she did would’ve been considered more impressive in most other arenas around the world for having the gumption & presence of mind to turn it all around. How did she cheat? Sheesh, I understand the lesson that was meant to be taught but I think they erred on this particular part. Anyone else?
