UFC Fight Night 242: Burns vs. Brady (2024)

A family drama is woven with quiet yet powerful forces of words and nature.

When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.

For the entirety of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marion remains in full control of both her body and her personality, a rarity for female characters at the time of the film’s release. She’s granted depth with personal demons from her past and emotional vulnerability when the situation deems it appropriate for her to grow alongside Indy. She avidly rejects the notion of being anything other than a sassy, humane rebel, and Indy’s equal in every way. This she does while still maintaining her femininity.

A film about family and sacrifice... and carnivorous locusts coming after you.

It’s dark, uncomfortable, and there are things that don’t make sense.

Tarantino's alternative history of the 1960's uncritically repeats the era's sexist and racist stereotypes.
