Even the cause of gender equality and women's emancipation can be fraught with severely problematic ideologies, as this film goes ahead to portray. Kay Kay Menon, an activist in the gender space, is about to be awarded the Padma Shri for all his work. The narrative progresses to reveal his saviour syndrome, among other extremely problematic views, further accentuating the irony between his public image and personal practice. However, as he sits down to write the final chapter of his book about women's rights, has his past finally caught up with him?
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes on the heels of its billion-dollar grossing predecessor, and seeks to do absolutely nothing other than repeat its success. In this, the film is eminently effective. If you have seen the previous film, you can expect something extremely similar in this package. That is, a barrage of references to Nintendo intellectual property wrapped in a plot that provides the thinnest layer of emotional payoff for the characters.
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
Our trilogy at Seabrook High School starts with a rivalry between zombies and humans who eventually come together.
This film was filled with great plot points. Unfortunately, they all contradicted each other and clashed. Had the premise of Awake been more consistent and accurately portrayed the real world aspect, I think this could have been an extreme success.
What starts off as a success story for a single mother living below the poverty line, slowly begins to weave itself into a tangled web of greed, guilt, and destruction.
