Green Book (2018)
Is it really as progressive as people think?
Here's the thing - this was a fairly enjoyable film to watch. That said, I think it's attempt at telling a progressive story about diversity and acceptance misses the mark. It feel to me more like a movie to help make non people of colour feel good about the "progress we've made" as a society. It's still a black man's story through the lens of a white man. It still has the black man giving in and coming back to the white man at the end. It certainly illustrates overcoming prejudice but, I don't feel like this portrayal goes much further than that.
Departure (2019)
Awesome!!
This series has kept me on the edge of my seat...not to mention the cast is stacked! It doesn't make me more comfortable to fly but I'm thoroughly enjoying watching.
Gran Torino (2008)
Cliche x10000000000000
I know this is a well loved movie, but I do NOT understand why. Sloppy cliches and stereotypes everywhere (angry/racist war vet, the "urban" character, the meek and unassuming asian character), a snoozefest of a script, and just a 1-dimensional movie over all. SKIP!
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Still watch this every year!
The strong, empowered female characters. The expertly executed fight scenes. The beautiful contrast in colours throughout the film. I NEVER tire of this film (even though I find Tarantino as a person, questionable at best).
