Gadot achieves a rare synthesis with the character of Diana; as directed by Jenkins, she brings out Diana’s essential contrast of innocence and purpose, consummate skill as a warrior and tragic naïveté in its deployment. Raised in isolation both from males and from mankind at large, learning of the world from legends enshrined in religion and accorded the force of truth, Diana believes that all strife and evil is due to the influence of one miscreant, Zeus’s jealous son Ares, the god of war, and joins Steve’s mission in the belief that the German mastermind behind the poison gas, General Ludendorff (played by Danny Huston), is the human incarnation of Ares. Kill Ludendorff, she thinks, and end all war. For Diana, her role in Steve’s mission is literally to wage the war to end all wars.
“Wonder Woman” is the story of a young woman who is brought up under extraordinary circumstances. As a child, Diana, raised on the isolated island of Themyscira, the home of the Amazons, women and warriors all, wants to learn to fight. Her mother, Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), wants to keep her apart from that trade, but the willful Diana gets her way and is trained by her aunt Antiope (Robin Wright) to be a supreme warrior. Now an adult (played, of course, by Gadot), she rescues an American airman, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), from the sea—and the island is soon besieged by German soldiers in pursuit of him. It turns out that Diana has become unwittingly involved in the First World War; when she extracts Steve’s story from him (by way of the burning-hot lasso of truth, something between truth serum and torture), she learns that he is attempting to thwart the production and use of poison gas by Germany against soldiers and civilians. Persuaded that his cause is just, she sneaks off the island with him, goes with him to London, and joins the battle.
