well what peiple believe anonymously is none of our fucking concern is it?

i'm just saying socially speaking (not even legally speaking) interacial marriage is not up for debate in the US, even less in Los Angeles. Are some american, los angeles families strongly against it? sure!

i was just poiting out that reacting to your white best friend DATING a black girl the way Mo did in the movie was fuking nuts

You could be right. But I actually felt that, while maybe they weren’t fantastic jokes, it didn’t bother me. The only sin to me is rehashing a concept that’s been done several times and selling it as “new”. I’ll say, as a Jew though, we aren’t out here getting mad every time Kanye plays. I have Kyrie on my fantasy team… generations of marginalization make pretty thick skin 🤷🏻

I agree with you for the cast.

I also agree with ypu for separating the work from the artist, as my post said. But that's personal and in the current social climate it's very tricky, I feel like the general consensus is to wait a bit before using someones work ie making sure its not too fresh in peoples memory.

And yes something can be racial without being racist. But if you're being clubsy with such a touchy issue, you deserve the backlash.

Touching racial subjects is very hard. It's like playing with fire.

I don't feel like it's going on a limb to say that the directors burned themselves on this one.

Do you like old movies? Not the same but along a similar vein. Heaven Can Wait (1943) with Don Ameche. He tells his life story to Satan to explain why he thinks he belongs in hell.

Very different from Heaven Can Wait (1978) with Warren Beatty.

No I definitely remember my brother and I comparing this movie to a quest of the 3 to fight evil. There’s a youtube video saying there’s a deleted scene we never got to see, thing is my brother and I did, I wonder why it’s so hard to find or see. here’s the link. we saw this banishment from the priest i swear to God! There was no water scene at all, this is all new and i’m absolutely confused & frustrated.

Sam’s not the lead though. The movie isn’t about her character going through a change it’s about Andrew and his transformation. So everything else in the movie could be a banana or a shoelace as long as it serves that story. Sam is the girl that opens him up and brings him back to life. She served her purpose for the story.

This is an interesting one, because the genre is really the only thing holding it back from a lot of people's greatest films of all times lists. I think, especially nowadays, we're so overwhelmed with mid-tier to mediocre superhero flicks that it's easy to forget that there have been brilliant films in the genre. They just tend to get washed away in the tide.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying

How are you going to look up to someone who wasn't alive when you were alive?

You have to go by other people's accounts of that's person's life which may or may not be accurate, and your post is a great example of this - The movie blonde isn't factual it was based on a novel - it was NOT a biography of MM and the movie wasn't a bio pic

I would agree that our societal consumption of celebrities and images is unhealthy, especially women and sex.

I posed the question literally because I’ve heard her presented to me as someone’s “role model” several times. Was curious to hear why.
