A Night to Die For (1995)

There is no aspect of this film that falls short, except perhaps in minor ways. 

This film was filled with great plot points. Unfortunately, they all contradicted each other and clashed. Had the premise of Awake been more consistent and accurately portrayed the real world aspect, I think this could have been an extreme success.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

Anna May Wong was a talented actress and a fashion icon and still had to fight for everything she had due to hatred and racism.

After his family fled to England after the Vietnam War, Kit returns home to Saigon.

An enchanted school for young heroes and villains brings the battle between good and evil in this fantasy movie.
