Two Sixth-Graders are Drifting Home
A Japanese anime movie that brings survival, adventure, and friendship to the big screen.

Wanting to be rich and to be loved by Chery (Arumi Bachsin), Deden (Azis Gagap), consults a clairvoyant called Tante Sun. Her instruction is quite busywork: Deden has to fetch a shroud from a corpse that hasn’t been buried overnight. But he gets through. Unfortunately Tante Sun dies when performing a ritual. Having gotten all he wants, Deden lives in anxiety because Sundel Bolong haunts him, trying to collect a pay-off. Not to mention there’s the robber ghost demanding his loot that’s in fact the source of Deden’s wealth.

Portraying how easy it is to be an ally heavily benefits the majority audience. The more we encourage it, normalize it, and give people the tools to become one, the sooner we can co-exist peacefully.
As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, I’d like to urge viewers and filmmakers to take a long and hard look at how rape is portrayed on screen.
It’s been five months since Wayward premiered on Netflix and it still has some of us in a choke-hold.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
