One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen

It was up for free on the Apple media site. I can't say I liked it, and I can't say I understood it.

I just finished watching it, and I feel like this is a really toxic movie that craps all over its viewers with meaningless ugliness. Was it about Luce himself, or the kind of person who succeeds in our society? What does a family do when they find out a very successful member is psychopathic criminal with no limits, conscience or respect for society? Done before Trump's sister and niece came out about Donald's character, and still Trump supporters are just as cowed as the parents in this movie.

What is your problem? Stop making everything about your support of liberal causes when it has absolutely nothing to due with the movie.

I think the OP was spot on, never mentioning or even alluding to any liberal causes, unless you think that dissing the toxic Donald automatically means you're a liberal.

[–] Poozer91 (605) 3 years ago

Spot on about what? The movie had nothing to do with politics. The OP loves bringing his liberal views into everything and never misses a chance to bash republicans. I never said I supported Trump, but the movie has absolutely nothing to due with Trump or any political issues. It is about racially identity and society's perception.

It’s a thriller about identity.

Is Luce a budding radical, hiding extremist views behind a veneer of smiling success and a promising future? Or is he just a victim of expectations and profiling, of the way his community can see him only in binary terms, either as someone who’s overcome his past as a child soldier to become an “example of why America works” or as a kind of ticking time bomb of inevitable violence?

I really enjoyed it.

I think he is a dangerous psychopathic elitist who beliefs he is beyond law and morality.
