She's huge with broad shoulders. She looks like a man, baby. I can understand why people may be scared of her.

I saw someone wearing a white shirt with a red sweater tied around her neck. She was speaking at something. And as I watched her speak, I thought to myself, why in the hell are you wearing a red sweater tied around your neck? Get a friggen shawl if you are cold. Or wear the sweater. It isn't a scarf for god's sake.
Learn how to accessorize you know?
I was not sure what I thought of the movie. I was talking on the phone during some of it, and working during the rest of it. (My Mom called upset because her TV blocked out during AI and she missed the last 5 minutes and she HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. MY mom could post on this board and fit in very well I think.)
But over all, it was ok. Made me chuckle a few times. I am not really sure how I was supposed to feel about her after it. I didn't see her as that bad a person, but she certainly was shown to suffer from a lack of ethics and self control. Of course, I have never thought of her as that bad a person. I figured anyone who would risk a fortune over a couple, what thousand/hundred grand, has to have some real control problems.
But I also found it impressive how much she managed to do for herself, assuming the movie is factually correct. The time line was a bit confusing, it jumped around a bit, there were flashbacks and then it would move forward and then more flashbacks. And since I was only half paying attention, and they never told you what year it was, I had a little trouble figuring out when things were supposed to have happened. I was trying to remember for example how famous I recalled her being when she got the KMart deal. Cause I thought she was already pretty well known by that time, but the suggestion was not so much.
I guess I found it a little confusing in terms of how they structured it. Maybe I should have paid more attention. Or maybe it was just poorly written. I don't know.
