Nope that wasn’t it.

Soldier (1998) is in the same universe as Blade Runner and mentions the battle of Tannhauser Gate and the battle of Orion. Blade Runner is also set in the same universe as Alien, which was confirmed on the 20th anniversary DVD for Alien in 1999 which included an extra scene of Dallas confirming he took a paycheck from the Tyrell Corporation.

First on Netflix

Exactly.

I'm not from the States myself but really close to the border and have been a lot of times and it doesn't seem realistic to me, but I haven't lived there neither.

Not only is everything about race, it's also dealt with in a very clumbsy way.

"This was a very good conversation."

Wow. The director and 2 of the scripters are Asian, as are ~95% of the cast. That alone makes it non-hollywood.

A white guy and a black guy wrote the film together. A film is just a story. Don't take it so seriously.

You being a sociopath thinking it makes you a cold blooded sociopath has nothing to do with this.

People are affected by the content they consume. Or have you not heard of what propaganda is???

Don't get me wrong, this movie is not propaganda. But it does affect your perceptions of things.

Also people are not numbers so rational and logical thinking won't help you understand the basic issue with this movie which is racism and bugotry in interpersonal relations

Yeah, it’s a remake of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” That version was a white family and the daughter brought home a black guy.

Doesn't work for me, since Pádraic says they aren't even at the end. If Colm had died they would be even.

Its not even remotely funny. Which is fucking weird for a comedy.

They're both great movies but the question should be what kind of thing you're in the mood for. They're insanely different experiences and everyone who answers is just going to say which one they prefer, which doesn't tell you much.

Like, would you rather spend this time watching a hard-R psychedelic body horror movie about evil rich people on vacation or an ensemble drama about mennonite women in a barn discussing what future they want after having been abused by the men in their colony?

Women Talking is the better film if you ask me but what a weird comparison

Lame is a matter of opinion. I don't agree that your/their explanations are good and correcting military to company does not really answer the point.

>You want them to be lame, so you don't think them through, don't call out a movie for your own fault.

Jake's motivations to me seemed unrealistic. Everything about the plot to me felt weak. I liked the first one, too. You asked people to elaborate in another comment and now you are obviously taking offense.

.....which is exactly the point. OP is saying that the "issue" of interracial marriage is a solved problem. The commenter you are responding to is calling them naive for thinking that interracial marriage is universally respected and no longer a subject of debate.

It basically is a movie. 8 20 minute episodes comes to 160 minutes, or 2 hours 40. A long movie, but not an impossibly long movie. Maybe because I watched it all in one sitting it felt that way.

Please tell me you were like 14 when you first watched it. Or, scratch that, 4.

We have taken a huge step back in terms of race relations in the US, and much of the blame lies with social activists, media figures, politicians, and hard left / right internet dwellers like the ones on Twitter and Reddit. There are certainly real racial issues, but those groups I've just named have been feverishly fanning the flames for a good ten years now. They take every real event (such as someone using the N word) and blow it so far out or proportion that you can't help coming away feeling hopeless and angry.

And the activists on either side work overtime to make everyone hate each other, because those activists themselves are full of hate. Notice how their approach to most issues involves being mad at one another, othering the opposition (and ourselves), and generally being an all around fucking prick. Something like "You People" is just a manifestation of that.

The people who really do care about racial issues have, by and large, been misled by bad faith actors whose "solutions" are akin to amputating a leg to cure a sprained ankle.

Can people just watch a movie and not look for anything to bitch about ? Yea this movie has its flaws but so what. I found it far too tame and “safe space” in its dialogue (Jonah’s in particular) but I’m not mad about it. I didn’t care for it much so I’ll probably never watch it again. Judge the movie on whether you found it good or not. Not on if it checked off every social issue on your list.

>Human performers can't compete with AI in the long run, every millisecond microexpression will be calculable.

You're so wrong. And you're also treating actors like they're also machines.

You mean the directors of the movie? Because they confused the funny in comedy for cringy?

Thank you for supporting Canadian filmmakers

Other solution

I agree with what you are trying to say but it's a touchy subject and sometimes you have to be held accountable for the way your piece of artwork is perceived. This movie feels heavy and dividing and the message is kinda fucked up, you have them breaking up because their family are not compatible BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE, and then have the neitral character say it's because BLACK AND WHITE PEIPLE WILL NEVER BE OKAY, and then the only rrason they go through with the wedding is because they love each other, not because the parents go along.

Also the whole holocaust vs slavery bit was heavy and tone deaf

We are past the times when we could be tone deaf with such delicate issues
