3 Body Problem (2024)
Same as usual.
Addressing racism in movies is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been present throughout the history of cinema. While some films have effectively tackled racism with nuance and sensitivity, others have perpetuated harmful stereotypes and reinforced systemic prejudices.
Positive examples include movies like "Selma," which chronicles the Civil Rights Movement with authenticity and respect for its subject matter. Similarly, "12 Years a Slave" unflinchingly portrays the brutality of slavery while highlighting the resilience of its protagonist.
Conversely, there are films that have faced criticism for their insensitive portrayal of race. These movies often rely on harmful stereotypes or depict minority characters in one-dimensional roles, perpetuating harmful tropes and contributing to the normalization of racism.
It's crucial for filmmakers to approach the subject of race with care, authenticity, and a willingness to challenge societal norms. Diversity in both casting and storytelling can lead to more nuanced and inclusive representations on screen, fostering empathy and understanding among audiences.
Ultimately, the depiction of racism in movies can serve as a powerful tool for sparking conversations and promoting social change, but it requires a thoughtful and responsible approach from filmmakers.
The Giant (2019)
What?
I saw several reviews referring to drugs when it came to this movie. I don't indulge in those type of things but I did have a glass of wine to try and get into the headspace. This movie drags, tremendously. To me, and I'm not sure if it's right, but I believe this movie is about a murder, suicide that has taken place. I have no idea what the giant represents other than maybe the storm that was always heading their way and finally reached them towards the end of the summer. I assume the murderer is "Joe" but it could also be the main character " Charlotte". Who knows. Maybe I should have had 2 glasses of wine to understand clearly.
