Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.

Without proper fluent English, Ramesh's dream job was eluding him. A frustrated and dejected Ramesh returns to his village and breaks down before his only living guardian, his Dadi. He also partly blames her for not having educated him in an English medium school. Dadi is unmoved and simply tells him that he will have to do something on his own instead of wasting time and energy looking for that job that is constantly eluding him. Ramesh notices a young boy come and buy murabbas from his grandmother and decides to sell murabbas as well, in order to help him learn spoken English.

I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.
Facing the world with our fair share of uncertainties and/or apprehensions, many of which, sadly, may be well-founded, is nothing to sneeze at. Influenced and buffeted by the constant barrage of social media, fake news, and general upheaval present in our contemporary reality, what IS real and what's not becomes a blur.
