People look up to people they look up to. If you don't "get it" perhaps it's not for you to get.

Reply to The Nun; confused. by SirGinger76
A horror movie from a while back called The Devil Inside had a nun on the cover. Never saw it but maybe you did?

The Rednecks in Nocturnal Animals. They raped and killed the main characters wife and daughter just cause they could.

Reply to comment by Antic_Opus in How is "You People" not getting backlash for being extremely racist? by kirill_da_thrill
It's not because it still is a very real issue (my dad for example was worried when I was seeing an asian girl because he said our kids wouldn't have blue eyes or whatever) that it's something REAL people in REAL life care about. People in their 20s and 30s for sure don't care about this, because this issue is not relevant like it was before (literally was socially accepted before to be against)
On top of that, "iN thIs SocIal CliMate" is fucking cringe because if anything it's better now than it ever was and Black Lives Matter protests shouldn't make it worse

I think it's not getting more backlash because nobody's seen it.

Can you explain why not?

I'd ask "Do people feel this way?" instead of "Nobody feels this way!"

Are you saying only people alive can be role models?

I was gonna say I’m sure it doesn’t raise eyebrows in the middle of a big city, but anywhere rural , or even in the Deep South…

Reply to comment by ItsPennAgain in BABYLON in Three Key Scenes: An interview with Damien Chazelle, Cinematographer Linus Sandgren, and Editor Tom Cross about the movie's portrait of silent and sound filmmaking, and the crazy final montage. by Bullingdon1973
I personally hated the final montage. Felt like he wanted a big finish like La La land but missed all the right notes. Which is surprising because First Man’s final moments have such restraint and great direction.

Most people just need to get over themselves and develop a sense of humor.

Can we also talk about including the Nation of Islam without making fun of it, in a FUCKING COMEDY??? It's not a documentary. Literally a sect of hate and antisemitism.
I didn't like this movie much, but I thought his parents' reaction to the Farrakhan part of that conversation was one of the only non on-the-nose parts of the entire film. I definitely got the message that they were appalled, but scriptwise there's no need for them to specifically call out Nation of Islam chapter and verse for their transgressions.

sweet innocent child...
You have not learned yet that the idea for "holy war" and "suicide bombers" were introduced into the middle east by the CIA who wanted to weaponize religion against Russia...
Meanwhile you ignore the "troubles" in the UK, where catholics and protestants killed each other on a daily basis or the KKK and their racism against black people....
People are People and those groups you are a part of will always tell you that the others are all bad by nature, but how you are born good...
Just like the moronic people who believe that movies are always supposed to be moral guides for people on how to live their life. Society changing... never happened according to them. Critical Thinking... not anything these people are capable of...
And it would be that simple... If you get emotional over anything other people do, you are the problem. It's really not that hard. Emotions are your enemy, but getting to a point where logical thinking can take over, takes years of education and personal growth.

This was my “limited” understanding.
Which is why I questioned why some girls in high school, or some adult women today, look up to up to her as inspiration.

I actually watched it yesterday, I did finish it. I expected a comedy that was mostly going to be jonah hill trying too hard to impress eddie murphy and like getting punked at la "Get Hard" but instead its a failed social commentary that somehow manages to be politically correct and racist at the same time
It's not terrible to watch as the story flows and everything, but after second thought its pretty tone deaf

Pretending that no one feels the way the characters, both black and white, feel about the other’s race just makes us all ignorant. In order to address problematic stereotypes and prejudices we have to identify and address them, not just stick our heads in the sand and learn nothing about the people around us.

Totally agree for me it was almost unwatchable
I'm not from the US is it really like that there cause it's a nightmare people is so obsessed with race its insane almost every dialogue of the movie is about race, racial culture or religion I understand it's part of the conflict of the movie but the dialogue was so bad they seem like a walking cliche critizicing cliches

The movie is not good enough for anyone to care.
