“Coyote vs. Acme” and People Power
We are incredibly blessed that this movie is available for us to see, and we should take advantage of the opportunity we’ve been given.

Two fanatical Flamengo fans get drunk after a defeat of time; a voyeurist peers at his neighbor's nakedness with binoculars; a suburbanite kills his wife over a chicken; an ambitious father makes money from his daughter who pretends to see the virgin Mary; a loving couple desperately seeks to satisfy their sexual desires; a priest tries to extort more alms from his parishioners; a married man, to survive, poses as a transvestite on a boat; a suburbanite prepares to sing on the Chacrinha show! Anything can happen in this film!

In a Whisper is a coming out narrative, but it’s also a story about multiple mother-daughter relationships and the necessity of family.
Hiring bias is something that's rampant in all industries (even unconscious bias). But writing a script totally neutral not only opens the door for more diverse actors, but also for characters that are people first.
Disney has a glaring and, up until recently, unaddressed issue that spans nearly its entire lifetime - an absence of diversity.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
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.
