Set in the year 3008, Melbourne has become a post-apocalyptic landscape where corrupt DJ’s restrict the use of music strictly to the EDM genres of their usbs. Two drug dealers; Tony and Robbie, stumble upon a rare musical artefact that leads them on a fantastical path of Pythonesque proportions as they rebel against the techno way of the DJ. It’s Melbourne music wars baby!!!
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
Airplane! (1980) is a fun spoof comedy with lots of laughs, right? I watched this film for the first time the other night. I loved it. Then came the racist jokes.
This romance movie has strong representation of Taiwanese people.
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 little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.
Initially feeling like a passionate group having a bit of harmless fun with filmmaking, it leads to something sinister enough to leave a mark.
