Review of Jane

Jane (II) (2017)
10/10
The Origin Story of a Real Life Super Hero! Should be compulsory homeschool viewing for every child on earth 8 to 16.

This is the straight up origin story of Jane, and if you haven't seen a full documentary on her, this is actually the best one to start with. If you've seen many documentaries on Jane, the camera work by Hugo and others is breathtaking and worth it just for that.

Because of its storytelling style, this is perfect for kids to watch. But adults will enjoy how beautifully this is made, and quandaries and complexity of the life she chose. Almost perfect family viewing, and a lot to talk about with your kids.

Some life lesson ***SPOILERS!!!***

So many life lessons are talked about here: Dream, dream big, read for imagination, follow your dreams, Dreams only happen if you work really hard. Understand that there will be terrible setbacks so be ready for them. Take advantage of your breaks, no matter what they are. But do it in the right way, so you have integrity and feel good about your choices.

Also big mistakes Jane made like not writing down goals in life before she got married, and touching her research animals are pretty open here.

The ease of the movie, while enjoying the incredible photography and filming, and Jane herself, makes this a wonderful movie to watch.
