I was telling Dan the other day that while watching Mona Lisa Smile at one point I imagined that it was actually a time-travel movie, and current Julia Roberts went back in time to the 1950’s and tried to teach women about feminism. You didn’t have to change one word of the script, and it actually makes Julia Roberts’ acting more believable.

Then Dan and I figured out how fantastic the script would have been if Julia Stiles was Julia Roberts’ mom, and she found out that her mother skipped law school to have her, and she has to decide whether to give her mom financial freedom and let her be a trailblazing feminist, or to let her mom go through with the family, so that she can be born.

Genius!
