Three women on the movie poster, but only one man with a small mustache? Should I be worried about this movie?

I didn't see any black people in the film and the small person was angry, so it should be banned.

True.

Well the femme fatale has been one of the cornerstones of film noir going back to its origins.

Gross.

it's based on a novel from the 40s, wokeness didn't exist back then...

Yeah, it didn’t exist when Tolkien wrote LOTR but here we are.

I do not like wokeness, but I did not notice any in this movie. You can relax and enjoy it without having to worry about any ideological messages or ridiculous casting.

That’s a relief.

Is this a real question? I’m seeing this question a lot anymore, and I think it’s the dumbest question ever. If you’re a cinephile, then just watch the damned movie, and make that deduction for yourself.

For now, you’re just a chicken shit that just wants someone else to think for you…or you’re a troll (which I think is worse).

Like, do you ask this about every movie? Why ask? Just do a little homework, and then decide not to watch it (because the colors don’t agree with you)? 🤷🏻‍♂️

“the colors”?

[–] LennyNero (474) 2 years ago

Why play dumb? Just watch the movie, pull your skirt up, and decide for yourself. Asking “how woke is this?” Is such a dumbass question.

If you’re interested, watch it, if you’re not, there’s a million other options. There’s literally thousands of options that suit your desires.

Shut the fuck up

There's no wokeness at all in this film, thank god. Worth watching, even if it is about a half hour too long.
