It's Lovisa's birthday and everything she picked for the party is perfect; the right theme, the right food, the right booze and above all - the right guests. Johan is coming and she needs to make a good impression. So who is Lars? The guy that suddenly shows up one hour early and with way to many roses? And why is he acting like there is something going on between them? As the evening progresses, Lars starts to act more and more embarrasing. Lovisa is desperate, Johan will misunderstand everything! So what to do?
Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart. I appreciate that this narrative is complex but not complicated; an easy enough plot to wrap your head around while still treating the audience like an equal participant in this social commentary
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.
Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
Make way for more Latine representation! Disney has released a toe-tapping musical trailer for "Encanto", which features more diversity than expected!
'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.
