It's a friendship. And it's pretty obvious how they played the entire arc with how Eddie felt toward Dustin in the beginning, then learning to appreciate his intelligence. A lot of conservative males are totally brainwashed to believe that being gay is wrong. But, there are a lot of gay people. It's usually a cry for help in that they are in an environment where they can't be themselves. It's really the only reason to rant about fictional storylines that include different types of relationships and people.
I think it's because he sounded congested that his mom thought he was sick with a cold and would let him stay home from school.
Yes. Movies just didn't spend the money in the 70s to buy real music. Plus, it's Disney. It makes total sense that the "rock" music would be like this.
In the 80s there were still plenty of working-class areas in different areas. For instance, Santa Monica south of the promenade.
Looks are subjective. Get a life.
Wow, you must be a genius to have figured out the plot of a movie based on a famous book that has been read by millions and already portrayed numerous times in film. It was the white guy! Isn't that crazy? I mean, you never see a person with the killer's relationship to the deceased actually be the murderer. That never happens.
The role of Salome is not unrealistic for the time period. Sorry to ruin your racist, hate-spewing party.
It's hilarious that this is so confusing for you. They are entertainers. Do you think that white people didn't pay black people to sing for them in the 1930s? You're not upset because people are changing characters or the story around. You're upset because people want to show more diversity in movies and television. You think there's an "agenda" when the real agenda has been trying to keep storylines out that show poor people as morally good and talented, black people as hardworking and law-abiding, gay people as someone who is just like any other neighbor or trans people who are just living their lives and not trying to groom children or force being trans on others. You want for people to have the same fears that your pathetic, spineless self has. Luckily, more and more people are telling folks like you to stuff it.
I'm pretty sure the villain was selected because they are the villain in the novel and Branagh didn't change that.
It's a relief that changing around a few characters didn't "detract" too much from the movie. Thank god you weren't pressed to think too hard.
Is it really that difficult to watch a movie with characters that may be different than those from the agenda that has been pushed on us for decades? I find it hilarious that for as far back as anyone can remember, an overwhelming majority of movies and tv shows feature white characters and put anyone else in stereotypical minor roles, but when someone puts in a black person as a major character that movie is now "pushing a woke agenda." And, oh no! It appears that it's a distraction and you just can't watch a movie and enjoy your hatefulness at the same time.
It’s a good thing you don’t live in Los Angeles. If I was unable to watch a movie that wasn’t filmed where it was set, I wouldn’t be able to watch much.
Her kids totally knew that the dad didn’t respect her and that she was unhappy. He treated that entire family like he was a king and they were his servants. Kids read that. They were happy that she was happy. And it made them happy, too.
The long speeches are childlike in quality. It’s what someone with no grasp on how to communicate effectively, and no concern or consideration in getting a response, would create in their head. A teenager would write these while holed up in his bedroom listening to the Jesus and Mary Chain.
It’s more about how easily some people will justify their beliefs and actions, no matter how heinous they may be.
There is nothing spontaneous about Diablo Cody's writing and that's why the spontaneity doesn't ring true and why it's sometimes difficult to suspend disbelief in her movies. Jason Reitman took this and made it a good movie. It was the reactions - more often lack of reaction - from the family, Mark and Vanessa, and the best friend to Juno's self-absorbed behavior that made it. Nothing wrong with that unless you believe the character of Juno is supposed to be witty and original.
Typical conservative argument tactic. Make up some huge accusation/lie and then start crying when someone calls you out. The fact that you care if someone wants to make strides to show muslims as heroes or other non-white/non-heterosexual characters of worth is what makes your argument racist. If someone flat out said to you "hey, I think it's a good idea to expose more people to the real world in that muslims aren't all religious zealots, black people aren't always criminals, women aren't always nurses - so I want to make television that shows these people in ways of which I'm familiar." Why is that an issue to you? Why does it bother you that people want to show the more we have in common with those who aren't like us?
You're contradicting yourself. You simply hate seeing races, ethnicities, LGBTQ and probably women thriving in areas in which you think they should be placed. That's not how the world is made up. There are muslim cops. There are gay Asians. There are people who don't always do the right thing. As for an agenda, people write what they see and what they want to see. You are free to write a television show and you can put an old, white man as the hero. It's no more of an agenda than the delusional one you've made up here. If I write a story and I put a dog in it instead of a cat, it's because I like dogs more than cats, I see a dog more in my story and that's how I want to write it. I have no agenda to make people like dogs more than cats. And it's no agenda to show others that people different from them don't always act in stereotypical ways. Do you also get upset if a movie has a white terrorist - is that an "agenda" to woke us out of seeing muslims as terrorists? Do you really think that showing women as doctors is an evil coup to take over work for males in the world? You don't like the show because it shakes the foundation of your thinking and hatred of others. Your acceptance of diversity in your family is no different than any other person who oppress others and only accept what he knows.
It's a jab at GenX and older folks who know how to suspend disbelief and can focus, understand and be involved in a normal plotline instead of having to watch something geared toward younger generations who can't focus and comprehend a scene that is longer than 60 seconds.
Reported, idiot.
