"Elio" and What Could Have Been
Elio could be seen as fantastic piece of representation, showing lonely children who feel ostracized that they are not alone. That is, unless you look behind the curtain.

The story of Orhan Usta, an auto mechanic with a mysterious past, and his family on the verge of falling apart, who lose everything in order to protect a "trust" that does not belong to them, but find each other again during a 24-hour period.

The legacy of this movie starts off the film series with a bang of magic, plot twists, and battles.
As legal dramas go, we rarely see an African-American actor in the lead role. "The Burial" has several.
'Alice' is a genre trifecta: one part revenge drama, one part historical account, one part throwback to Blaxploitation—kinda 'Django' meets 'Roots' meets 'Foxy Brown.'
Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart. I appreciate that this narrative is complex but not complicated; an easy enough plot to wrap your head around while still treating the audience like an equal participant in this social commentary
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.
