After watching To walk invisible, written and directed by Sally Wainwright, I thought it was a really motivational piece for everyone especially women. From the creative introduction scene of the siblings running around with burning halos, I saw it as a metaphor of creativity within all four siblings. Despite their gender, they were all equally capable of creating their own fantasy or imaginations. The drama takes place in Yorkshire, the Bronte siblings were not rich but lived in a greater size home than many. The scene where the sisters go out to the wild landscape was a beautifully captured scene almost like the director wanted to show how much they have out there but also showing how they’re in the middle of nowhere. The film not only displayed the hardships of women who wanted their work to be simply accepted or respected but also the parallels between the two genders under the same family and environment. Branwell was a perfect contrast and his denial to the many offered chances, was what Charlotte needed, a chance or opportunity to be evaluated without specific titles. While Branwell threw his advantages aside, it was also what eventually crushed him mentally to a tragic ending. On the other hand, the Bronte sisters worked hard to achieve an offer under the terms of being reviewed as male writers. In a sense, they had to take an invisible path to achieve their ambitions. While Branwell had so much attention even under the circumstances of him being an addict with the predictable outcomes. This drama greatly demonstrated the obstacles the Bronte sisters overcame while voicing themselves as an women in the 19th century. The drama ends as we see that the sisters published works are still getting great feedback in modern society.
