'American Fiction' Speaks Truth
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.

A nasty short with lots of meat.
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
"Beef" is a new dark comedy with a near entire Asian-American cast
Despite its aggressiveness, the Beef anthology series is about romantic love in all its forms. The final scene of the first season led us to believe that, despite the conflict, drama, and toxic traits, the main characters would end up together and, most likely, live happily ever after. The whole “beef” plot was the prelude to their love story.
The differences in these films could not be more blatant, and yet Gus Van Sant has found a way to portray the same messages and use the same techniques in each.
Even now, the well-established Snyder has yet to learn this as he continues to allow misguided decisions to convince him that his projects hold the same kind of intelligent and emotional weight. Army of the Dead is a tonal mess, one that never decides what it’s trying to be, and, for all we know, doesn’t want to decide.
The whole family will enjoy these fantasy and science fiction stories about families and individuals connecting, finding true love, and discovering self.
