1902, England. Women are relegated to stay at home and can expect to organize the best social event of the day inside your home. Events for political, economic and social support for marital social mobility, family and personal indirectly. Miss Potter

represents women with concerns, potential and training who want to carry out its own life and who can carry, and shows the obstacles and the social system in which they are embedded and that fights in favor of maintaining the social system and that is against that they can conduct their lives.

Potter's father, like mother, is a man alienated from society. That has put aside his artistic concerns to focus on doing what was expected of him, being a respectable man, lawyer and parent. However, the seed art and encourages the deposit of his daughter Potter, who gladly accepts and develops, becoming the writer that is later.

still harboring a taste for art, the father, remains and considers a child's play. In his view it is not her daughter is engaged and do with art. Potter is beyond him. The father does not know the territory, he stayed on the road.

Potter loves what he does. Enjoy, delights, it is known, and is careful with the pictures and stories performed. At first I did not know that this will be her life, she paints, is expressed. Paint and create your world, creates his friends. The film shows his early exit to the world, to express it, share and share, and communicate and put it into play.

is an interesting process, nice and clear view, allowing us to see the various obstacles, both social, as family and personal with which it is located. Which exceeds, and in which succumbs. Which takes in a setting and continuous adjustments to the environment.

social alienation and personal

I was surprised to see such great gender limitations. Women could not leave the house alone, therefore they could not work, or have and manage their money. They were forced to marry and depend on a man to live. Not encouraged their concerns and potential, except in this case exceptions.

Potter and the sister of the editor, who becomes her friend, representing all those women who knew and liked and satisfying to do things, but could not be because they were doomed to stay at home, drowned, engulfed in a family system and social environment. And these women are revealed, and are making their life, going out and creating a different system.

repression, social adaptability, tight dresses, fashion, leaving no breathing oppressive, support the status quo of the system. Men on one side, women on the other. Sexuality does not exist and intended for procreation and as a payment currency for perpetuating dependency. They say the female characters in the film. They realize and rebel against it. Love, in this society has no place, is canceled. There are only economic interests, market. These women and some men, as the young editor, believe and want to live any other way, believe in love, passion, freedom, companionship, they believe, are based and a journey of development of other values.

Creativity and Life

All sensuality, passion and live life when she paints Potter struggles to get out, and this is precisely what drives it and outputs the world.

painting is a delight to see, tousled, loose, hot, see the pigments dissolve, blink and move the animals. She paints in pure life, animal life, which girdled in "a blue dress gold buttons, struggling to get out and express themselves. Its projection vital.

When she goes to publishers, editors do not understand it, laugh at it.

In the process of outlet to the world, Potter needs the support of the young editor who believes in it, fascinated by his art. Among the support of both carry out the project that ends up being a common, harder to go forward and position to help them grow socially and personally in one another and new place.

Alienation mechanisms

One area that remains prohibited, the marriage, which involves the establishment of a new social order. Where the woman works outside the home, it may be, has power and decision making and social and personal strength and support of men who want the same degree of freedom. Potter

yields to the parental and social blackmail and submit to the will of them and becomes their desire and plan of life in common with the editor on a secret. What are you afraid? What not to live together, the editor and she? Or get married and move in together? Social pressure should be strong, how to bring ruin to the family, leaving aside on a social, economic and political?

And the secret goes with it, the young editor and his small circle.

And Potter are held, as of old, verging on madness, in a grieving process at which it enters, alone and isolated in the world. With the help of his friend, back out to the world.

Mourning

The grieving process is clearly and beautifully expressed through drawing, his means of expression. And it becomes pathological, when isolated in the world, and can not return to him, and having lost the notion of being isolated, lose the ability to realize where you are and the need to return. This alone with their pain and can not leave the world with him. And her friend support and help out.

Creative Set Finally

Potter looking for a new place for herself, away from the city and returns to the place where you feel more in tune with itself. Emphasize, then develops and carries out its social commitment in favor of beauty and life, buying land since childhood considered beautiful by themselves, and protects the devastating progress destroys everything, and it also aims in these lands, where farmers do not own them, their owners put them on sale, so I guess the industry. Here Potter finds a new place halfway between the social and natural, halfway between the writer and to agriculture. Lover of beauty. Now

Potter owns its economic power political, social and creative and exercises.

Social Responsibility

I want to make a call to use and responsibility of each one of us with our economic, political, creative and social. What fate my money, what purpose behind my actions? What are my interests, personal, social, etc..? What moves and motivates me in life?

Potter is an example of a woman who has left the alienation which many people succumb and has committed to something beyond itself.
