Lu Over the Wall (2018)

Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.

The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.

Dead Poets Society relies on patriarchal tropes such as overbearing fathers, contrived brotherhood, and faux-individuality in order to portray its straight white male characters as oppressed.

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.

When it comes down to it, The English explores what happens when power is unchecked and how those who seem powerless, have more strength than most through their convictions for justice.

I hadn’t heard of it either until recently—and yet, it’s one of the highest grossing movies of all time.
