I'm watching now and there's some interesting stuff.
White people living in a black neighborhood wanting to move because they know the black kids will eventually rape their daughter.
Weird interaction between a couple about the mom seeing her baby.
Woman gets hands and head blown off and it's only half done.
I assume someone who is very tired of PC propaganda wrote and directed.
Any thoughts?
Well... It's a movie about the general fatigue of the whites, social triumph of PC and black people being more... vital I would say (as synonymous to active, charismatic etc.). However, the movie is not in any way racist or critical towards such a state of affairs. It just outlines the current situation.
That’s how I saw it also.
Everybody loses
It's a Film Noir concept to have a character(s) who are generally good and get defeated by modern society and then lose in some dramatic way.
It's a plot I've seen since forever in film.
Triple Frontier on Netfilx has the exact same plot. Soldiers down on their luck decide to do something corrupt and then lose massively.
Film Noir is in part based on communism and concludes that no good person can actually succeed in this society.
What?
I work in psychology and have spend huge amounts of time in ghettos in Philly. It's a good bet that your white daughter, black one, etc will get raped or worse around black guys.
In the film, the husband and wife instantly agree on this and there's no argument. I am white and would never let my child live in a black neighborhood or go to a school with too many blacks. I have worked in some of their schools and violence is common including rapes, that the blacks working there do nothing about.
I don't see the movie as "racist" if it's sending out factual info as facts aren't racist. PC is reverse racism as such ideas make it seem like there are no problems with anyone, which actually dehumanizes blacks, etc by making them into protected almost pet like people.
I am curious about why the film decided to "go there" when the film really isn't about the realities of racial/cultural behavior.
While I liked everyone in the film, it had a very cliched plot. I just watched Triple Frontier on Netflix and it had the same plot. It's a plot I've seen in movies from the 1940s. People are after money they believe with change everything then life and all the money is lost.
I don't really get what the money was going for as far as message, but I enjoyed it overall.
You enjoyed it overall, that’s all that matters.
shareYeah I used to work in bad neighborhoods, lets just leave it at that.
But there is reality
And there is woke latte sipping wealthy white people, never worked a shitty job in their life where they needed to mix with a wide range of society, thinking they know what reality / the world is, then dogmatically tells everyone how to think and feel. Bizzare.
I've recently seen white people call black people all sorts of things (edit - on youtube about the riots), buts its "a-ok", because those black people were police officers.
Stfu you fcking racist
shareThis was made by the same people as Brawl in Cell Block 99, with some of the same actors.
shareHow was that film?
I thought Bone Tomahawk wasn't that great.
The gore scene was very unrealistic and borderline bizarre. Same in this film with the mother getting her hands blow off then head. Kinda for no reason.
Was Brawl about the same?
Yes. They had Vince Vaughn destroying a car with his bare hands. Like what would normally require a sledgehammer. I think it's supposed to be a bit campy and look like a B flick, even though they have the means to up the production if they wanted to.
shareI didn't really notice that, but it's stupid.
All three films have a graphic comic book look imo. Great stuff!
shareBrawl in Cell Block 99 is probably the best of the three so far.
I'd recommend it highly.
