Woke because actors are black? Woke because domestic violence doesn't exist in real world? Woke because in real life no one has a step dad? Woke because all men are sweet angels that don't hurt a fly? Woke because reality doesn't resemble your delusion? Just guessing what you don;t care to explain. |
Guest 3375 Wokeism; def: policing the speech of others. Exactly what you do. No need to attack everyone you don't agree with and turn this comment section into a cesspool. Btw, your examples?! You have no fukn clue what woke is. While your at it looking up the definition, look up 'provoke' to. Get some fresh air. |
Guest-3375 asks why the op thinks this movie is woke. Aren't then you, Guest-2545, the one policing Guest-3375's speech and isn't Guest-4005 the one provoking? Just saying. |
Guest-2055 nope, there's a difference between provocation and pointing out. Maybe everyone just be decent and start respecting each other, discus instead of toxic shit posts, that we all know the intent for. Why all the fucking hatred all the time, we all share the same passion, they fuck of to twitter for toxicity. |
How is saying"woke me up before you go go" pointing anything out? You're funny though when you ask for decency and are the only one speaking of "toxic shit", "fucking hatred", "fuck off", "toxicity". |
I just saw a revival screening of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in a full-size cinema this week and I can't describe how refreshing it was to experience. That era in films also gave us "Gladiator", "Traffic", "Unbreakable", "LoTR: The Fellowship of the Ring", "American Psycho", and "Fight Club". We were spoiled! |
So, this is a movie about a teen whose stepfather shell out heaps of money to send him to a private school so he can get a decent education and get ahead in the world. But he prefers to hang out with his deadbeat father who left his mother to fend for herself until she found a loving husband. Always the victim. |
Using the offensive and oppressive propagandist language of misandrist bigots to describe the plot of this tale is not going to attract viewers to this movie. It is the very description of this movie that is 'toxic'....... |
You must have read a different plot. |
A "woke" movie? And so many people see that as being a bad thing. Speaking personally, which is all any of us can do, I hold the Merriam-Webster definition of "woke" as my guiding principle: : aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) So, tell me the "anti-woke brigade", what is so bad about that? As a white person, I am part of a sub-set of human beings that has victimized other people for their appearance ever since we first met them... African, Chinese, Pakistani, doesn't matter. Western society has victimized anything it views as "other" (and don't start talking about the movie again, that's just infantile)... be that being gay, or "foreign" (in whatever land someone may find themselves). We see it shown in access to anything from justice and the legal system, healthcare, and equal employment opportunities. So tell me, what is so wrong, so absolutely awful, about wanting all members of our society to be treated justly? And don't forget, "equal access" doesn't mean "equitable access". Putting something on a four foot high shelf doesn't mean everybody can reach it, some people can't get out of a wheelchair; sometimes you have to set the bar lower for some to make it equitable. Just what is so terrible about fairness for everyone, black, white, female, male, gay or straight, able-bodied or wheelchair-bound? That's what I see "woke" as meaning, and I'll stand by that until I can't stand any more. Somebody on here said to me recently, "Stay true to your principles, never back down from an honorable fight and always be a purveyor of truth." Well, that's 100% woke, and I'm 100% with that too. |
My biggest issue with the "woke brigade" is the "It's OUR turn to be the hateful ones". Also the "you're white you HAVE to guilty!" The promotion of negative to fight negativity that is prevalent in the "woke brigade". And finally, the "if you're not woke, then you're racist". |
Thanks for that laserbeams2345, my answer (including supporting evidence) would be wayyyyy too long for the comments section, so I PM'd you instead -- hope that was OK |
Ok people, Your feeling are real. But the real question is do your feeling line-up with the evidence and facts presented ? I haven't seen the movie yet soon I'll withhold my judgement for now. It's time to get back to agreeing to disagree with each other. I'm not always wrong and you're not always right! As for the trolls |
Sorry dude, but abuse and domestic violence are simply always wrong. So yeah, you are wrong. |
Suppose this movie is woke (whatever that is), as woke as woke can be and then some. So what? Are you actually telling the world that only movies are allowed to be made that are compliant to your moral guidelines? Do you realise that THAT is the actual definition of cancel culture? That woke movie is not cancelling anything or anyone, but you are striving to get these movies out of the theatres, off of tv, out of this world. That's cancelling. |
Woke grow up !!! Talking about fake news. Fake woke. It’s all the rage. The people who have close mines can’t open them. It’s called The Walking Dead.!!! |
Going to watch Miles Warren's short Bruiser 2021 and Huntress 2018 before watching this one though. Thank you trolls for making me do my research first |
As bad as it sounds - but d/l and share to strike back at the wokeratti . |
So, Black kid who doesn't know his father? Check. Father is violent asshole? Check. Abused mother retreats into addiction to Abrahamic mythology? Check. Are there any stereotypes they missed? |
