Promising Young Woman (2020)
Accomplished timeless film
Brilliant script, direction and performances. I hope it gets recognized as an outdated story of the ways things were... some day. The story eloquently shows why there are no "good guys". All men have either been the perpetrator of or have defended a man who has sexually abused a woman. It's as systemic as racism. I hope men are held accountable.
Dear White People (2017)
Great Show. Can't wait for Season 2!
This show nailed it even better than the movie. I think partially because it had more time to really develop each character with more backstory and depth. Not only was it a well told story, it had heart, it was smart and it made me laugh out loud many times. Without giving anything away, from Sam to Troy to Reggie to Coco to Lionel to the Dean, each character arc was wonderfully scripted, directed and performed.
Well done.
I was so shocked that the ratings for this show was so low, but then I read the comments and realized it's just more proof that racism is not over and that privileged white people, like myself, need to actually listen to what is being said and take a look at how we have contributed to the problem. I'm not perfect. I've made my mistakes when I was younger, but I'm learning and trying to be a better person. If you hated this TV show because you think it's "Race Baiting" you are completely missing the point and reacting from a place of insecurity and delusion.
