Kramer becomes an Internet famous photo bomber, so Jerry checks his photos and finds Kramer in the background of every single one of them.

The man who did the definitive film version of Malcom X's life also did promotional ads for the American military, wow.
When I sat in the theater and saw people cheering the destruction of illegitimate masters, I saw it retroactively as an inscription of the improvement on our race relations in this country. That, despite the fact that the ongoing war against the minority poor in our country goes on unabated; we can heal the wounds of our egregious socio-ethical impasses. Living in New York has given me a new perspective. That life does go on. That things, though however slowly, can change. That God in his mysterious ways does show that there are lifting visions of the meek.
Films like Von Trier's Manderlay, in juxtaposition to Django Unchained, are found wanting. They demonstrate a sort of retrograde vision of race relations. That minority conformity within the American mainstream comes with a sort of condolence of state violence, that integration itself (having met fierce resistance within racially included groups) had a sort of compromise for black socio-cultural admittance to the mainstream. No matter. I have an opinion, and, Allah willing, it is the correct interpretation.
As-salamu alaykum,
excuse me for the brief reply

well the strong silent type thing works better when the character isn't essentially a sidekick to more emotive performers
Tarantino's audience is above all male, so maybe there it's good that he makes movies that they go BANANAs for, that cast the white man unequivocably as a the douche bag. After all, the social function of these "Controversial!" movies, shows, is not all that educational or thought-provoking, it's an affirmation of morality. That's all a revenge fantasy is, the protagonist's journey to condemn evil. Its like jerry springer
EmanuelaOrlandi posted:I agree with Sherm. Compare Django to a Scott Sanders movie and it's clear that one is bullshit white person guilt and the other is informed by knowledge of the black experience and of modern black radicalism. It's really nothing for a white person to decide to make a movie about a black dude killing evil caricatures of slave owners.
lol "evil caricatures". if y'all can't see the value of a movie about revolutionary violence against all white people by slaves than why don't you look at the shitty movie Lincoln that is out right now.
if movies about slave revolts were so easy, why has there only ever been one mainstream movie about John Brown, which was pro-slavery? How about all those hollywood movies about Nat Turner? this forum has some of the worst opinions about movies i've ever seen, at least for a forum which is supposed to be socialist, anti-racist, and philosophical.
