1985. A sectarian community threatens the streets of Los Angeles with continuous criminal acts. Their leader, Charles J. Murray, employs psychic and hypnotic powers to force the incorporation of new warriors into their ranks. The Commissioner calls the only police capable of entering the territory of the sect and resolving the case without causing civilian casualties. Everyone knows him as "Whirlwind."
White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.
Films can alleviate alienation by presenting realities where the viewers feelings are shared by onscreen characters. 'The Little Mermaid" film can be interpreted as a transgender story.

All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.

'Playing with Fire' was clearly a film made for a kid or tween-ish audience. Keeping that in mind, I thought 'Playing with Fire' was alright, though it did portray some harmful stereotypes.
