Mona Lisa Smile is such a good movie.

It's a ram-coated movie.

And it's underrated.

Yeah.

But Jackie doesn't really like the school because she's actually not very social.

She prefers to go home early and read.

She's like a little bit more introverted.

And...

I love this about her.

So everyone has to say their life ambition in the yearbook when they graduate.

And she says, not to be a housewife.

Wow.

Yeah, she was like, fuck.

Direct quotes from Jacqueline Kennedy.

Yeah, literally.

Yeah, exact quote.

And I just like, I felt like when I started researching her early life, I was like, she's so different than I thought.

And I was like, she's a little bit more like,

fuck the patriarchy and also I think we picture her as like prim and proper and it's like no she's a teenage girl that like smokes cigarettes she likes to go barefoot she likes to wear pants over skirts like she's not this like first lady we always think of these first ladies that they have like no personalities totally well they're there as an accessory and they are there that's what's so interesting that that was her like

yearbook thing because a first lady, especially at this time, was to be a housewife.
