So what’s the point of apple+ if they don’t even put their movies on streaming

It’s not really about him not f***ing with black people. It’s moreso just him realizing he’s not the right guy to tell a movie about a perspective he doesn’t know much about. You can tell with how he grew up, his perspective always came from being around white people, many of whom had racist views.

Can’t say I’ve ever supported the notion that a filmmaker be forced to write characters of a race or culture that he/she would have no idea about. Invest in studios run by people of color to get those kinds of stories

Also been loving the promo for this film. Great move from apple to go wide from the jump! Y'all really rocking with this huh? That's great to see, can't wait to catch this in IMAX. The two theatres close to me are renovating at the worst time smh, and I hope its to upgrade to IMAX lmao. Otherwise I'll just have to wait for the stream

No one is asking him to write or direct black movies

But if you’re not including a group of people in your movies but you’re consistently s***ting on them in every one of them, you’re gonna look funny

Something I think this movie could’ve really benefited from in trying to get its message across is doing something similar to what Blackkklansman did at the end of that movie where it showed the modern montage of anti-Black racism in America so that the audience couldn’t walk away from that movie saying “wow, what a crazy time that was, good thing were better now”.

There are still missing and murdered Indigenous woman who’s stories are being ignored by police across North America. This is happening at disproportionate rates for Indigenous Peoples, and most of the population is completely ignorant to it.

See, but wouldn't poisoning Mollie go against his love for her? All of the multiple scenes of him declaring his love for her (and their children) come off as sincere and are virtually the only instances where he comes off as a respectable character.

I have a different take on it. Ernest isn't incredibly bright, so, initially, I don't think he fully knew what he was doing to Mollie. But I think he slowly started to connect the dots, and it all culminates in the table scene, where he is confronted with his biggest failure - he realizes he ended up hurting and undoing his family, just like King said.

It was such a strange decision
I just don’t understand the film’s decision to depict Mollie as so naive
Her relationship with white people… her trust in her husband… Where is that coming from?
It feels like a smoldering fire that never catches flame
At the outset I said oh boy I can’t wait for the movie to serve us up a delicious part for Lily Gladstone and then it just… never gives it to her
