trailer
In case your aren't going to watch the trailer, this is a movie about how a woman living in the South side of Chicago and how she organized other women associated with gang members to deny those men ANY physical contact until a lasting peace was had. This is NOT a call for gun restriction or anything that is meant to get people crying about gun control. I'm just curious as to whether or not this would work, as many of us men are very aware of the power of women.

It's actually based on an ancient play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. It's 2400 years old.
I like when "classics" are reinvisioned to modern settings. I'm not a huge Spike Lee fan, but i may actually go see this one.

I didn't know it was originally based on the play you mentioned but I know there was another film similar to this premise that came out a few years ago.

MSgt (Join to see) - The classics never die. They are just reenvisioned and repackaged. It's like seeing Hamlet as The Lion King or Samurai 7 as A Bug's Life.

As much as I would like to see this work, I have a hard time believing it would happen in the real world. I just think men would look elsewhere to have their...needs...fulfilled.

I am all for this because something must be done to mitigate the hatred and mistrust.
