Leave the World Behind

Basketball people dunking on y-t's

0bama produces Netflix film adaptation that says white people shouldn’t be trusted in the apocalypse.

Took a few minutes to think about this movie before dropping my thoughts.

When I'm sizing up a movie for its wokeness level, I aim for a middle ground.
It's easy to fall into the trap of seeing shadows everywhere – like thinking a scene of poverty is a dig at bad capitalists or a flawed white character is some kind of anti-white statement. But let's not get carried away. Most movies aren't trying to be deep political statements. They're just movies.

Bringing this back to "Leave the World Behind." Initially, it just seemed like another flick. Nothing too preachy or in-your-face about it. But then I've found out the Obamas are in the mix as producers. That’s a curveball. We're talking about Barack Hussain, a guy known for his specific viewpoints and political stance. Suddenly, the film isn’t just a film anymore. It's got the Obama stamp on it, and that makes you watch it with a different set of eyes.

You start wondering: Are there messages here I didn't catch before? Is this film subtly pushing an agenda? Obama link is a lens that brings certain aspects of the movie into sharper focus, making you question what's really going on beneath the surface. It's not just about the story being told; it's about who's telling it and why.

That flipped my whole perspective on a film.

Pretend like you didn’t know the obamas made this

No gay scenes, no trans, no climate change propaganda (at least so far, might change in the next one they make) BUTTT there IS race baiting.. although you wouldn’t have guessed it until the girl is laying in her bed with her dad and drops the “remember not to trust white people” line.. then it makes the racial tension come to life where otherwise it would have been subtle or just slightly insinuating.. but after that line it really makes it become apparent. I get the obamas made this film but I feel like some reviews are JUST because they know Obamas made the film. It had a crap ending, but I would give the second one they come out with a watch.. lots of supposed conspiracy theories and supposed symbolism with this movie too apparently

Wishing it was better and I didn't have to rate it as "woke".

I mean, I guess with the Obama administration involved, what do you expect? I'd have rated it less DEI and more fun if it wasn't such a terrible, drawn-out, dialog-driven film. But it is. So, we have the ultra rich black dude and his Caucasian-hating sidekick kicking Julia Roberts our of a weekend rental. The world is ending, but not in an "Independence Day" kind of way. More like a "condescending black man and his Black Panther sidekick berates white family who in reality just rented their mansion for a weekend" way. It's a movie you'd like to enjoy, but White family just don't get it: they're incompetent, incoherent, mindless dipshits.

I'm changing my review sliders: this movie really sucked. Original: Woke 2, Review: 3.

Woke Amateur Trash

As others have written so well the DEI and race baiting bs throughout makes this one very woke. Other reviews have covered it well so I won't waste more time on it. Ignoring the woke the movie itself is pure amateur hour horribly made nonsense. I've seen YouTube shorts more well made than this. The acting is terrible by everyone involved and every single character is awful. I hated every single one of them. The dialogue is stupid and makes no sense. No one acts and talks like these people do. Ever. The camera angles, cinematography and editing are trash. Even the music choices at the beginning are out of place and bad. It's just complete garbage and there is zero reason to watch this flaming dung heap.

This era of cinema will one day be declared worst ever, shunned, and all originals will be ritually burned...

This is more racist than every Nazi film...
