Last Film You Saw

[Bigga]

"Dear White People" and no, I'm not about to write an open letter!

This was one film I was highly sceptical about, having seen some unimpressive clips. I thought I would bite the bullet and not judge it from what I'd seen and I'm quite glad of that decision having seen said clips in context.

The older generation may remember a film from the very late 80s called "Do the Right Thing" by Spike Lee, which turned out to be a highly controversial and emotive subject of racial matters set within a poor neighbourhood of Brooklyn(if I recall).

This takes that idea, tips its hat and updates it to the middle class/ rich university settings and adding in other factors. It's a very worthy modern day version of Spike's joint that asks the right questions that "DtRT" did not.

Impressive.

You should have read my post before you watched it. I think I threatened to kill the **** that said it was good :)

Watched unbroken last night, pretty good and worth watching.

Is that the prequel to Brokeback Mountain?

It's the sequel, where the locals have to throw a bucket of water on them.

I saw '71 last night, brilliant film. I was apprehensive about watching it in case there was bias or an agenda but there wasn't. It demonstrating shocking acts from all sides without being specific.
