My only issue with it is it feels very much like "easy" racism, if that makes any sense. Much like Crash.

Racism IS easy, that's why racists are dumb.

Also Crash is great.
No easy racism as in "hey here's how we fix it!" or a very simplistic view of it. Again, much like Crash. As compared to something like Get Out which paints it as something complex which can hide in plain sight and has multiple layers to it.
At least one film was entertaining.:slaterconfused: Oh really, like what?
Reminds me of Birdman to be honest.And you know how I feel about that movie.
Also
The other film will have rednecks waving their redbox DVD rentals in the sky if it wins
Word.
I’m pulling for it to win Best Original Screenplay because Hollywood would have a damn Klan rally if it won Best Picture...

i didn't get that vibe at all. it felt like it used racism as a prop to lighten the mood of the film and for comedy purposes. they really didn't need to make Sam's character racist at all.
plus the racism felt like it was pandering to white ppl. the narrative of Sam's character having a good heart even tho he's racist was over the top.
all in all 3 billboards is just ok to me. i don't get the hype for it and the oscars nods it's getting.
How exactly was the cop redeemed in that film? Somebody explain that one to me. By the end of the film he’s jobless,failed to catch the murderer,his life is in shambles and he’s off to go murder someone based on 0 evidence. I’m not seeing the redemption
How was it easy racism? Elaborate
As far as a story, killing a rapist is considered redemption.
But again, there’s 0 evidence of it. He’s off to kill someone he assumes is a rapist. And how does murdering someone redeem you as a person? And how does that suddenly make his racism okay?

It feels like people are using a lazy analysis of the film and saying that’s it’s the film that’s simplistic. Like people wanted Sam Rockwell to be a cartoony villain who’s racism is his only defining trait with absolutely no middle ground to his character. I don’t get it. And I don’t understand how anyone is saying it has an easy answer for racism.
That’s how I feel about half the best film nominees pretty much every year

Wouldn't that imply you think all white people are racist
racism is a touchy topic for most white ppl. 3 billboards touched on it but in a light hearted way. scenes dealing with racism had some comedy in it.
