This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

This fantasy musical movie is an origin story about the title character.

Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.

Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.

I understood post-memory as passing down stories and images of one’s experiences that are not your own. For decades, rape has been depicted in cinema through a third-person perspective, leaving the viewer to observe rape; not to experience it. 

This theatrical sequel based on the PAW Patrol series features voice actors of color in this action-packed adventure.
