This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.
One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.
Overall, The Shining is a great film to watch for its atmosphere and setting. While the characters’ portrayals could’ve been more accurate to the book, they’re all still memorable nonetheless.
