Origin (2023)

Must see- if it is hard to watch, imagine living it
9 January 2024
I saw this movie in AMC screen unseen, and I only share that so you get that I had zero clue what I was walking in on.

With that I have to say at first the movie was slow, I understood that it started with the retelling of Travon Martin, then just bounced between time periods to show injustices during Nazi Germany and the following times from many different points of view. The main character went through a lot of personal turmoil but her purpose was clear, she felt there was an underlying connection between a lot of the injustices and mistreatment among many different sect of people. I have to say this is not an "easy" or "light" movie but it needs to be shown.

When leaving the showing I often go to see the reviews, and to my dismay there was clearly a person who just didn't get it. It is based off a book and I plan to read that more. Do yourself a favor and see this film, it's an important one.
