It's sad how Hollywood movies have become so predictable

Being called The Assistant, you know there's two possible plots in modern Hollywood:

(1) A poor Woman/Black/Indian/Muslim/Hispanic assistant is abused by his evil/psychopatic white male boss.
(2) An intelligent and efficient Woman/Black/Indian/Muslim/Hispanic assistant saves the day while the stupid/useless white male boss gets the laud.

This case, it was (1) 👍

And I haven't seen the movie, but I already know that there will be some scene where the evil white male boss will sexually assault her. Because according to modern Hollywood, every white male has sexually assaulted women. That's modern Hollywood.

Why don't you try being insightful rather than inciteful?

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

I was very insightful. I was so insightful that I could even predict the argument of the movie.

Without seeing it no less.

You're agenda is abundantly clear. Stop trying to gaslight people.

Go to imdb and look for "Storyline". You have there the plot described. You're welcome.

And I said, it fits what I predicted. You don't get more insightful than that. :-)

So why not go to every film you haven't seen to start a thread about it - or are you only interesting in the ones where you have the hope of getting people all fired up?

And why don't participate in other threads? You have only a dozen messages here, and all of them have been to attack me in this thread and in the Witcher one.

I'm flattered that you only have eyes for me in this forum 😄 but you should try to socialize with other people. Bye.

Because every title I looked in for discussion or information, there YOU were attempting to set fires with the same old negative rhetoric.

You also seem to be unable to distinguish between somebody attacking your opinions and attacking you, so fall back to the 'personal attack' retort almost every time somebody disagrees with you, which is a tell that you're aware of the harmful nature of your posts.

You were almost right, except for the part where anything of value happens.
This movie will steal 1,5 hours of your life and leave you dumbfounded.

So your saying it was like watching Secretary but without the sex and kink... good to know... I'll just go rewatch Secretary instead.

well, you were wrong. the movie is a depiction of the weinstein scandal from the perspective of his assistant - and no, she isn't abused by him ("she's not his type"), nor does she save the day.
