Damn no avy no more, mods got you outttta here

whos alt?

calling someone a 'minority' while discussing this movie?

Be careful my guy.

A lot of this s*** is just an insult is what im saying

They swapped the races around from whatever the book was talking about and it just has this sloppy cut and paste over a different time period,

This movie is about Andersons personal struggles with himself and unfortunately he chose to microaggress his way to the golden globes its cringe.

If he had less horrible (or any) existent knowledge of revolutionary politics and why people fight for things this movie couldve been a lot better, because the resources were there. it looks good and it flows as a narrative. But the fact that the resources were there to make this sort of circle back around to prove the point

any useful message is nonexistent and insulting to any groups of people vaguely gestured to in it

I'm not sure how much of this is due to the book and how much of it is his fault. but anyway

Stay liberal my friends!

Lmao you trying too hard homie

Y’all needa take them lame ass think pieces to Twitter

True i couldnt help myself earlier. pta still gotta get socked out by somebody though. piece of s***

all the white people in this movie are either dumb/useless or completely evil, which is a pretty accurate depiction of America. You gotta be overthinking it or something

Jokes aside I really hope they press the button on that mf

It’s a lil patronizing to make black women as nothing more than props for virtue to where any sort of wildness is seen as culturally inappropriate. The irony is that the people who felt weird about the black women in this are the ones who don’t view black women as purely human. It’s the model minority mindset but from a well-intentioned place and they don’t realize it. I’ve been raised by women like this, grew up around women like this, been in relationships with women like this

The idea that this was weird didn’t even occur to me, if anything I was impressed by a white director even having such authentic representations of such specific and real world black women in the film - and to no surprise, representations that came directly from the black women who starred in it

It is near explicit text that black womanhood itself and everything that uniquely black womanhood is, is what saved the day

As a matter of fact I need to watch this again

The pictures of a pregnant Teyana with the gun in her hand is hilarious irony when the director is married to a biracial woman lol. It can read as white male ego fantasy lol

I think some people just don’t like the movie and how they are depicted and that’s okay

You're 100% right. FD Signifier said in a video that if people didn't know who Junglepussy is as a rapper, they would immediately think her monologue was "harmful parody".

Firstly, I don't think that's true. And secondly, I think it says more about the people watching it and coming to that immediate assumption when presented with a form of black expression than it says something about the movie.

People keep saying this movie is a white savior film or a white man's wet dream, and it immediately tells me they didn't pay attention to anything that happened in the movie. I don't normally disregard takes like that in broad strokes, but, when it's objectively wrong like that and being spread in the way it has, you can tell the entire discussion/analysis is going to be in bad faith.

leo didn’t do s*** the entire movie

Or not thinking

Didn’t you get ran out the other thread for talking that bullshit? What you doing here

Lmaoooo 3 times is crazy

idk what you talking about or referring to lol, was just scrolling thru the website before work today and commenting

Lmao naw I remember you in the other thread. The one about Teyanna Taylor winning a golden globe

the golden globes 3 weeks ago? ight bruh

Have to remember that a lot of the online discourse now is being driven by people who either watched it split up into short form clips on Tik Tok/Instagram Reels/YouTube or people who only watch movies during Oscars season and are looking to hate on something popular

A lot of the stuff being said about this movie and its characters now is just downright intellectually dishonest

Annoying to me but don't think anyone offering surface level jabs about this film has read Vineland, which would open up the film to more interesting discourse but no
