Not woke

Not the best movie ever but rather entertaining. It revolves around the occupation of germany by the allies which is a topic rarely treated by cinema. The movie shows some pretty shocking stuff, which is accurate to represent the nightmare that was post war Germany, although there’s some romantisation.

The movie is not woke and believe it or not it used to be standard in the pre pandemic world 😢.

So lame…

It’s supposed to be a subversive romcom about abuse for rich white liberal women in their 30’s.
It’s super boring ! It felt like the movie was still beginning when it ended. I did not felt engaged at all but I maybe I just don’t het romcom…

And now to the wokeness. At first glance nothing. Everyone is white, everyone is rich, everyone is American, everyone is straight as an arrow. Even I would demand more diversity…
but man the feminism ! It’s not as bad as some movies that have it front and center but it’s clearly propaganda on many levels. You know this moments when the movie look at you on your couch and tells you “it’s still time to go and vote for democrats to smash that toxic masculinity kids !”, I am not kidding there’s one such moment in the movie.

The only point I might give it… maybe… is if it helps peoples who are in abusive relationships (also some men, just saying) but I don’t even know if it would honestly…

A hundreds movie whose theme is women, rape, bad men... in isolation that's not too bad but in the 2020's you know why it was made.

The plot is incredibly contrived. the main protagonist is supposed to be smart but does very stupid things. and the end doesn't feel earned.

Note: I began writing this shortly before the movie ultimate ending. And after I saw it I increased wokeness and diminished the note. here is why...

--SO SPOILERS COMING--

So she actually did it... yes, the movie is that morally bankrupt. I belived the dude did it for her or perhaps the benevolent black father figure but no ! which mean all the good men are actually completely useless.
since this is not a true story, everything was actually manufactured for it to be a chad murder fantasy. I don't give max wokeness because; yes, those things may happen.
And also using the praying mantis as metaphore is quite stupid.

What a waste…

One of the best TV show for young peoples as well as being very enjoyable for adults.

I am not a huge fan of the universe but it is asian “medieval” fantasy which is always interesting to see.

Besides I have huge sympathy for this setting since it has been so badly mauled by the wokies. Being awfully racist they are crazy about it being a “white free” universe and added a filthy layer of modern ideology to the lore after the initial show was released.

It just makes me sick…
