A quarter-century later, Schreck spun her memories of all that youthful idealism into a hit Broadway show, \u201cWhat the Constitution Means to Me,\u201d which has proven to be every bit as much a \u201cliving, breathing document\u201d as its subject since its 2019 debut at the Hayes Theater.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, in teaming with \u201cThe Diary of a Teenage Girl\u201d director Marielle Heller to release a filmed version of her show on Oct. 16, she hoped that her words might impact the 2020 presidential election. What Schreck couldn\u2019t have imagined is that the same week the special dropped on Amazon Prime, Senate lawmakers would be posing that very question to Donald Trump\u2019s latest Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, asking this female \u201coriginalist\u201d what the Constitution means to her.<\/p>\n<p>Like her mentor Antonin Scalia, Barrett believes in interpreting the Constitution according to the intentions of the Founding Fathers \u2014 a turn-back-the-clock position that makes it especially impactful when, two-thirds of the way through the show, Schreck pauses to play an audio clip from the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Here, in Schreck\u2019s words, is the flaw in being so literal about the Constitution: The document, she points out, \u201cwas designed to protect the men who made it and their property \u2014 which was sometimes people \u2014 from the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early on, she asks white male property owners in the audience to raise their hands, pointing out that all the others in attendance would have been excluded from having a vote \u2014 or a voice \u2014 in the formation of our democracy. No wonder, she argues, that the United States is one of the 10 most violent countries in the world for women, and she focuses much of her attention in the play\u2019s second half on sexual assault and domestic abuse.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, she throws out a statistic: So far this century, more American women have been killed by their male partners than Americans have died in wars. How does that number compare with the number of deaths by COVID-19? And why haven\u2019t we been more focused on solving the pandemic of violence against women? Schreck doesn\u2019t raise this question outright (the COVID comparison couldn\u2019t have existed when the show was filmed pre-lockdown), but it\u2019s easy to extrapolate, seeing how a motivated nation can mobilize in crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Schreck performs the show in a half-imagined version of the American Legion hall in Wenatchee, Wash., channeling her teenage self in this literal boys\u2019 club, its walls crowded with black-and-white photos of proud servicemen \u2014 hundreds of them, which collectively reinforce the sensation of being surrounded by dudes \u2014 but finding the strength to raise one\u2019s voice all the same. Schreck presents herself as an ing\u00e9nue at first, poking fun at the naivet\u00e9 of her 15-year-old self. Her speech shows enthusiasm, but is endearingly clumsy in ways as well, as she calls the Constitution \u201ca crucible\u201d (a reflection of her adolescent obsession with witchcraft, perhaps) and critiques her own performance.<\/p>\n<p>Women will recognize what she\u2019s doing, as her form of self-deprecation has been a familiar tactic in winning over male listeners in this culture: One must play things a bit clumsy at first, charming the audience with humor and awkwardness before raising issues that might seem strident or \u201cnasty\u201d (to use Trump\u2019s double standard) when articulated too forcefully. Schreck has put enormous effort into making \u201cWhat the Constitution Means to Me\u201d appear rambling and extemporaneous, when in fact, her monologue is carefully calibrated in how it parcels out her deeply personal perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Schreck knows better than to announce that she has had an abortion at the outset, for example, and saves the revelation about how her family was impacted by domestic abuse until it will be most impactful. After sharing how she too identifies as a survivor, Schreck plays an audio clip from a 1965 Supreme Court recording made 16 years before Sandra Day O\u2019Connor joined the all-male institution. \u201cHere are nine men deciding the fate of birth control, four of whom are cheating on their wives,\u201d she says, and we cringe as we realize how out of touch they are with (at least) half the population.<\/p>\n<p>Director Heller does a better job of adapting Schreck\u2019s play than the team behind Disney Plus\u2019 recent \u201cHamilton\u201d film, in part because the underlying production is so much simpler. There are just two people on stage for most of the show \u2014 Schreck and largely silent co-star Mark Iveson, who\u2019s tasked with embodying \u201cpositive male energy\u201d as an American Legion emcee \u2014 and Heller clearly considers the audience to be an important part of the experience, frequently cutting to them for reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Toward the end, Schreck invites a local parliamentary debater, Rosdely Ciprian, to join her on stage. A Black high school student from New York City, Ciprian brings still more perspective to the conversation, leading a fiery back-and-forth with Schreck over whether to abolish the Constitution altogether. Earlier, Schreck had specifically focused on the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments, which provided for rights not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution and extended equal protection to all citizens. Now, through this younger, non-white voice, she acknowledges that the document still has enormous room to grow, and is forced to defend a system whose intrinsic biases she\u2019s just enumerated.<\/p>\n<p>On Broadway, Schreck hands out pocket-sized copies of the Constitution to the audience, inviting attendees to vote on whether to preserve American democracy as it now stands, or to scrap it and start over. That doesn\u2019t work as well in a filmed version (nor does the show\u2019s coda, a faux-casual segment in which Schreck and Ciprian field canned questions from previous theatergoers), although the seemingly extreme premise \u2014 that the elusive American ideal of equality might require a radical rethink of its governing principles \u2014 seems more pressing than ever in the final days of a Trump presidency.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/watch-movies-tv-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Movies &#038; TV Series <\/a><\/span>category<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/film\/reviews\/what-the-constitution-means-to-me-review-heidi-schreck-amazon-1234805990\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Watch Online &#8216;What the Constitution Means to Me&#8217; Review: Heidi Schreck on Amazon&#8221; &#8220;&#8216;What the Constitution Means to Me&#8217; Review: Heidi Schreck on Amazon&#8221; In high school, 15-year-old Heidi Schreck won enough prize money giving Constitution-themed speeches at American Legion halls to pay her way through college.
