'Causeway' Explores Toxic Masculinity Through Its Protagonists
The message to take away from 'Causeway' is that toxic masculinity can manifest in anyone, no matter what their gender identity is.

Malcolm is a psychological horror thriller about the mind of a mentally ill serial killer who suffers from schizophrenia, psychopathy and multiple personality disorder. Michael Russo is his name on the outside, who he is known to his family, co workers and people he grew up with. But Malcolm is the alter ego inside that torments Michael day and night to kill the innocent. This movie takes place when things get out of control where Michael is forced to go on the run. With law enforcement in his rear view mirror. His itch to kill is still thick. And Michael is at a constant battle with Malcolm, law enforcement, his victims, and the reality he is building his life to be everyday.

If you are a discerning movie watcher and/or an African-American with a modicum of Black consciousness, this film isn’t for you. It would be better to watch the documentary ‘They Fight’ to see the impactful, emotional story of Walter Manigan and the young men of DC’s Ward 8.
Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.
As I typed this, Chris Evans was being “cancelled” on Twitter. I did a little research on this since I always thought Chris Evans was well-received. It turns out the backlash is because of a white savior movie he made called Red Sea Diving Resort.
