The Proposition (2006)

This captivating film can only be truly appreciated by seeing it firsthand. There are not enough words to describe the terrible beauty one experiences while watching it.

Now that we're officially halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, let's look ahead at movies featuring Hispanic & Latine representation through the rest of 2021.

Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.

One thing’s for certain: Holmes has star power. We may not be able to see everything, but we’re certainly all watching.
