Loot (2022)
Liking this Sassy Satire
Honestly, I really only started watching LOOT because of Maya Rudolph. However, I'm loving the entire cast, especially Ron Funches & Nat Faxon (love their voice acting & performances in other shows like the Great North & our flag means Death)
I haven't finished the show yet, but I especially cracked up at the satire on architectural digest tour of Molly*'s mansion/cabana (*Maya Rudolph). Probably my favorite satire in the show so far.
I see a lot of people not really into Molly's tone-deafness but I think that polarizing character choice is a love it or leave it situation. An example in mind would be like Michael Scott (Steve Carell's character in The Office sitcom)
For some that can be grating, but I think it's been great to watch.
I see a lot of people are complaining of lack of character development, but maybe I'm just a bit more patient in their story arcs. I really enjoy this show - super watchable. Hope there is more to come from this funny group dynamic.
A Última Floresta (2021)
Clothing versus customs.
Honestly, I couldn't finish it.
I watched the first few minutes of footage of the men and a family and then the tribesmen running off 3 white men gold prospectors.
I expected to see their clothing to be minimal, as their customs have bead works and body paint.
It just bothered me immensely that this dramatized documentary seemingly had probably altered their dress to give them a voice. Seeing these tribesmen in modern day basketball shorts. And yet, the women wore only beads and bands of cloth.....
Did the filmmakers change their customary clothing (or lack there or) for our view on modesty? It just immediately & jarringly made me feel 'this feels wrong'.
