No, Interracial Love is Not “Saving America”

Exactly what I was talking about. Found this linked in themuse article @rantanamo linked.

Another one mentioned "othering," where people begin to dissociate and view a group as the other. It's highly promoted by this white romantic idol agenda they are pushing .

Again others have said the movie is based directly on his life written by him and his wife, so i can't hold that against him but the issue remains...

One's life can be an example of othering.



Why not have that conversation? Jordan Peele is half-white and married a white bytch, but still created Get Out.

This desi c00n should go deeper, as well.

Just saw this. It's a very good movie.

As far as the interracial angle, it's a major part of the story and I'm not mad at Kumail since it's autobiographical. The movie's formula does demand the desi girls be marginalized but at least the one that wanted to go to the cat cafe came off well and represented for the pressure brown girls feel too.

The bigger question is now that this movie is a success will Hollywood allow a movie with a fully desi couple as the stars? I have my doubts. If Kumail's real life story was that he ended up with one of the Pakistani girls, we might not have even gotten this movie.

The Cat Cafe! That's what she said that tore me up....That woman was gorgeous and cool as fukk.

[FlyRy]

Putting this on now. I got impatient even though I know it'll permanently be on Amazon Prime free in a month or two

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Movie dragged quite a bit. Still a good watch. 3/5

 

[The Phoenix]

i walked out 30 mins in

Why am I not surprised?

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Just watched this on Amazon Prime and enjoyed it . I didn't realize how emotional the backstory of the Indoor Kids was, I miss the podcast Emily/Kumail used to do together.

 

[BXKingPin82]

it was good but daaaaaamn that shyt was long as hell!!!

 

[Lil Diddy]

damn @ the hate on preceding pages.

it was a pretty good movie imo. I didn't think too much of the interracial aspect because it's biographical.

I agree with it dragging tho. def didn't have to be 2 whole ass hours

 

[Kane]

It was good until she got sick.

The rest was a chore to get through.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

If you gonna get a white girl at least get a bad one
