Did your girl enjoy the movie?


The funniest thing to me, is how differently the movie affected us. As we all know, there isn’t a lot of media that deals with the micro-aggressive racism of ultimately, well meaning white people (not that those in the film were well meaning, obviously not, but until the plot is revealed outwardly they are trying very hard to be good people, kind of, but I think ya’ll get what I’m saying here). She was aware enough to groan and cringe at the typical things (grabbing the arm, black is in, voted Obama a third time), to anyone who cares enough to find out, black social media breaks these things down in amazing fashion all the time.


But, when I told her the opening scene (Darius from Atlanta, lost in the suburbs, on foot) made me feel more anxious than any scene I’d seen since Irreversible (and I watch a LOT of movies), her response was a casual “really?” until I explained to her everything that immediately was communicated to me, how real his fear was, and how I feel that all the time.


She enjoyed it, but the things we found scary were so different. Only moment of dread we both shared was the cop car at the end.

saw it with a white friend. she did feel the need to point out the "reaffirming" of black hyper-masculinity when the protagonist survived catherine keener's stabbing :rudy:

nonetheless, we had a dope time. i was there with a mostly black audience n got no stares. except a black girl directly behind us in a long line at the concession stand asking if we was in line when we was clearly next:childplease:

i think she just wanted to get a look at us. pretty girl, but she was with her man.

that's the type of passive shyt he prob gotta deal wit all the time. she was type bad so i couldn't blame him.



also the white dude selling tickets asking her for her id, but not me. if she with someone who's clearly over 18, why she gotta show id?:childplease:
