A very subjective look into AWFC

After months of trying to but not being able to, I finally had time to actually go to a movie theater for the first time since well before covid. Typing that sounds absolutely insane but I don’t remember the last time I had done it. My wife and I had talked about going to the movies for a while but we wanted to wait for a perfect time/movie/occasion. Like most of you, I have been surrounded by Barbie reviews, comments, tweets, posters, ads etc. I have loved everything I had heard about it, it was intriguing and I just couldn’t wait to watch it. But I have to admit that at first I didn’t want to watch it on the big screen, just because I assumed that it was better so heard loud explosions or basically John Wick or The Equalizer, but OMG i’m SO happy that I opened my mind.

The movie was incredible. It surpassed any expectations I had. It was insightful, powerful, funny, beautiful to look at, amazing music and how can I not mention my favorite band HAIM having a song in the movie? Everything about it was phenomenal. And… you guessed it, I thought about Arsenal Women. And before you assume that all I do is try to fit AWFC into everything I do, which is not wrong, I need you to know that I look for inspiration in them to be a better person, to grow, to expand and to be as empathetic as I can.

Barbie had so many lessons and I think a lot of men should watch it and if they don’t like it, they should. I consider myself to be very sensitive and sensible and I was so awakened by the messages, the insights and my wife’s reactions. Also loved my conversations with her when it was over and how we saw many things the same way and also how we can’t possibly see it how the other one see’s it. And this is what made me think of Arsenal Women. The fact that no matter how much I try I could never understand what its like to be a female footballer, with as much hate as the sports gets, with as much adversity and negativity, and sexism and misogyny in 2023 when it’s supposed to be the best it’s ever been.

Anyway… the videos and images from the camp over in Germany look amazing. Smiles all around and I absolutely love that. What I would also love is a couple of signings and they need to happen as soon as possible so they integrate in the team and we can focus on the WSL that can’t start soon enough!
