'Easy A' Is Pretty Anti Sex
'Easy A' is emblematic of a world that liked to sarcastically pretend it was progressive but wasn’t actually ready for that change, making it pretty anti-sex.
In the Forest of Katyn
It depicts a crime scene — the exhumation of bodies and personal belongings found with the remains of Polish officers in a mass grave in the Katyn Forest, murdered in 1940 by the Soviet NKVD political police. The film also shows members of the International Medical Commission established by the German authorities, journalists, former Polish Prime Minister Leon Kozłowski (1934–1935), and Russian peasant Parfien Kiselev, one of the witnesses to the Katyn massacre. The Germans sought to exploit these crimes for maximum political gain, and the film’s narrator, in the spirit of Nazi propaganda, argues that in the face of “Bolshevik barbarism,” people would fare much better under German than under Soviet rule.

‘Minari’: Authenticity Without The Trauma Porn
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.
