Yeah at least I give celebrities like Mayim Bialik credit for staying true to themselves. So many celebrities are afraid to say they're Jewish. Or if they do, they claim they're just born Jewish but don't identify as such. It's really sad.
I 100% agree. And it disgusted me that audiences were applauding at this. How can they applaud knowing he's making the Palestinians out to be the victims and the Israelis that are at fault? How can people look at this as socially acceptable behavior? How come no one is mentioning the Israeli hostages? Because then that would mean we'd have to have fault with the Palestinians while the Hollywood media is painting them as the underdog victims? Jews are the ones who need help right now and Israel must exist in order for Judaism to exist. How come people don't see that? Especially Hollywood considering the number of Jews who work there.
For the Spider-Women, one white girl, one Hispanic, and one Black. Woke.
While I see what you're talking about, it's still a typical rom-com in having the two leads get together. I was hoping these two would remain platonic and help each other find other romances. Cause as friends they had chemistry. As a couple it was a little weird. It's like, why can't guys and girls just be friends?! I was also offended that everyone in the movie kept telling them they should be together? Why? Just because he's a man and she's a woman? They weren't wrong in just being friends.
But if they're supposed to be little people, they should be played by little people. And black and white people didn't associate with each other as closely as they did in the past making this film historically inaccurate.
Filling the blanks with a diverse cast to avoid controversy of having an all-white cast. In the past, black and white people would not be associating closely with each other like they have in Wonka. And if they're trying to be diverse, why would they cast Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa instead of someone with dwarfism like in the original Willy Wonka? It's like in the new Snow White movie having a Hispanic actress play her instead of a white woman. Her name is Snow WHITE.
To me, it feels like tokenism. If a movie was made in the past when minority groups couldn't get high-positioned jobs, they should respect that instead of trying to rewrite history.
Why don't we just see people as people instead of still defining people by their race?
Cause this is only their second movie within the course of a couple of years. They're not exactly legacy status. But yeah I can see that too where Chad could be Ghostface next since it would yet again be the boyfriend who's the killer. I feel like it would have to be that way because it wouldn't make sense to bring in any new people to be Ghostface. There's no one else really in connection. But it would be really interesting to have it be Sam. To have the hero after all this time be the killer and that this was something coming for a while. Like in Game of Thrones having Daenerys be the mad queen because it was her destiny this whole time like it was her father's. I can't help but remember the look on Tara's face at the end watching her sister stare at that Ghostface mask for as long as she did.
Like I said in a previous post, I think Samantha will be Ghost Face and Tara will be the one to kill her.
