Watched this last night, good but not great imo. I don't see why it's getting all these awards and s*** I don't see what this movie brings to the table that's WAY different/better than something like eg The Nice Guys. Better than some of the other movies I've seen that's been in this position lately (like EEAAO) but I watch these highly praised movies and it's like...that's it??

Feel like it's a movie that's benefitting off the real world climate rather than the movie itself (Blackkklansman). And the movie doesn't even say much with its politics - conservatives are racist, liberals are pretentious, government participates in false flags. The racist government are the bad guys, you have to root for the characters who were part of a terrorist organisation because they fought against this government

Movie was well shot but I did think the scene where the Sensei is taking Leo to charge his phone was overdone. Gave me Marvellous Mrs Maisel vibes like I'm supposed to sit there impressed "Wow, it's all seamless and there's so much going on " when I just find it drawn out and the yelling/Leo stumbling around looking for a charger isn't funny. Also hated the shot where Leo is running across a bridge wearing shades with dozens of police officers below him, like none of them looked up and saw him You're on the run from police and run across a bridge where tons of officers are right below you, you couldn't find another route my nigga??

Whole plot of the movie was odd too. Why is Teyana f***ing Lockjaw. His weird behaviour with Willa after he finds out that's his daughter, like he's trying to be her father and also hates her/arranges to have her killed. Somehow the black mother ends up being the deadbeat

All in all, not a bad movie. But is this really the peak of cinema? I still need to watch Sinners but the bar is low imo

Dont think it was tryna to, its a character driven narrative, all that other stuff was mostly to set the scene for the characters interaction with each other

Crazy take lol

It was a power dynamic thing, she starts the movie by exterting her power sexually over Lockjaw, and Lockjaw then flips it around and coerced her into a sexual relationship for the sake of her and her group's wellbeing.

Well he didn't really want to kill her, he had to tho in order to get in the club, before they found out he was lying about being romantically involved with a black woman
