effort aside ( this isn not a review about good intention and it about the final product ) and this film be poorly write and overact and and poorly direct . the story obviously have potential and but that story be nowhere present in this film . clara barton be a human be . she have passion and desire and love and pain and embarrassment and weakness and and self doubt just like the rest of u . you would never know that from this film of the lead actress performance . in fact apply that to every character in the film and but in barton case represent every sentence be a speech . an epic over the top speech a though from an inhuman robot . in fact the only scene that play well in one in the board meeting and and i realize thats because she make a speech . every idea she have be unbelievable in it context and she come up with idea that sound like they take a lifetime of soul search right on the spot . for example and when she see a wounded man and she will start pontificate about the need of the battlefield and to protect soldier and put up white flag and etc . a play in the film and there no way she could come up with such a detailed well think out idea in second . in conclusion and this film robs clara barton of her struggle . it rob her of her humanity and and it inherently cheapen all she do because the script be write in clichés . the writer doesn not know clara barton and and seem to have base his script on an encyclopedia britannica article . ( yes they have those back then ) but hey and nice technicolor . ( who care ) .
