Although the final shot of the movie was two men discussing the fate of Nikita without her presence there, I thought it was actually empowering. While the men wanted to "help" her, anything they'd attempt to do wouldn't even affect her. Nikita chose to leave the life she knew on her own and start over, demonstrating immense strength. She left without leaving a single trace, without anyone noticing. The final scene demonstrated not only her ability to out smart everyone and leave without them being able to stop her but also the large affect she had on the men, and their dependency on her.AlexonGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415862523387957415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-69667844607106599722011-10-21T08:54:07.974-07:002011-10-21T08:54:07.974-07:00I found it very interesting that Nikita wasn't...I found it very interesting that Nikita wasn't over-sexualized. I kind of expected her storyline to follow the same trend as Charlie's Angels since the introductions were so similar, and because Amande was giving Nikita some sort of "makeup training" at the beginning of the movie. I was surprised and relieved to find that Nikita's femininity wasn't exploited in order to complete her missions (as it always is in Charlie's Angels). But when it comes down to it, the angels used their good looks to get information crucial to their mission. Nikita didn't need information to fulfill her duties to Division. All she did was listen to where they told her to point the gun, and shoot. I think it'd be interesting to see how Nikita would be portrayed if, like the Angels, she had a more active role in the behind the scenes aspects of her mission.Azihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546932257888173421noreply@blogger.com
