brucin 923 Posted December 30, 2018 Saw a "news" story from HuffPost. Didn't read it because the headline said it was full of spoilers but the headline also said the movie is about white people not seeing racism. The trailer looked interesting so I will give it a shot. The plot reminds me of The Happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did not read the article because I didn't want to spoil the film. The article according to the headline and tagline was more about how the story was an analogy for white people failing to see racism. If you can find the article let me know. I'm not sure when I'll get to the film as I'm working this weekend.

Malsua 1,422 Posted December 30, 2018 I enjoyed the movie. That said, of COURSE Sandra Bullock winds up in an interracial relationship. In TV/Movies these day EVERY couple is either two gay guys or two gay girls and if it's not the prior, it's interracial. If the relationship is involves a white male, he will be gay or with a black women. It's pretty annoying. I could give a shit what people do but there are people who date within their own race on occasion and are hetero. I know, it's a shocking statement. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After reading some of the posts in this thread, are you guys talking about two different movies. @Zeke, which one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Goldwing 90 Posted December 30, 2018 Ill give it a chance. I hope not to waste another 60 min of my life as I did with a movie recommended by another forum member Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siderman 1,138 Posted December 30, 2018 This thread is confusing the heck outta me. Isnt Birdcage an old gay movie with Robin Williams and Bird Box a new sci fi? At least the trailers in tv look like it. Where's the anti /racism stuff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every freaking show has to have interacial, gay couples or someone from the left's social engineering flavor of the month club as someone who couldn't give a crap about this stuff in the past, even helped my republican ww2 vet grandfather marry 2 gay couples in Vermont before it was legal anywhere, I've now moved into the anti column. I'm tired of having stuff crammed down my throat and teach my accordingly. Liberal left wants us to accept and think this all bs is mainstream, it's not. Gays are less than 3% of the population and while I don't begrudge anyone their lifestyle, don't force it on me. I do think trannys are deranged and it's a mental condition and I'm not changing my view. If you look at manufacturing, 2-3%is baked into warranty returns, humans are no different I'm tired of the word racist being used so liberally. Most don't even know true racism much less the difference between bigotry, racism, and hate. Oh and I've lived ALL over the country, in every region and the NE is BY FAR THE MOST RACIST and it's not even close 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm absolutely sick of it, sick of it. anyone see the liberal guy in Atlanta yesterday have his meltdown over a Trump wearing customer who he then called a ni%%er? liberals are so censoring, bigoted and racist it's amazing they are not called out more on it. I've told my boys, you judge people on who they are and how they treat you and others around them and that skin color does not matter. I also tell them that you stick to your own kind and I explain that means people, not race, that hold the same values etc. That said, my kids will go to PSU. If you've ever been to PSU during a game, you'll understand why and will NEVER send them to Rutgers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
