Why Bridget Jones is a true hero
Bridget Jones is often deemed the film for single women. We feel comforted by the fact that there is a fabulous example of how much worse things could be for us. But I see it differently- I see Bridget Jones as a total hero for women, for far more than her relationship status. Let me tell you why... She never gives up. No matter how many times she fails with her diet, fails to give up smoking and drinking and fails to find a "nice, sensible man", she never lets it keep her down for long, constantly trying time and time again to achieve her resolutions. What a trooper. She is always there for her friends. Who cares if she's meant to be hard at work, when your friend calls you from the bathroom crying over her latest ex, you answer! Similarly, when your friend unknowingly makes you smuggle drugs back from your holiday and then abandons you, you forgive her. Because that's what friends are for, right? She is totally independent. No matte...
