[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roma. It was so terrible, basically a rich man who made a movie about how his poor indigenous nanny loved him sooooooo much that g--d made her have a stillbirth, so that she could keep sacrificing herself for her employer's family 4ever (to include literally risking her life to rescue her charges from drowning at the end even though she can't swim.) So disgusting and tone-deaf about race and social class, and yet it got so many accolades. BARF.[/quote] This was me after I watched Roma the first time. I didn't get it. Then, I watched it a second time. THEN I got it. It's actually brilliant, you may want to watch it a second time. And I thought the whole thing was a commentary on the class issues. I think the filmmaker was HIGHLY aware of the power dynamic and the whole film was a commentary on exactly that. That "Can you get us a smoothie" at the end...the filmmaker was making a point there. Worst movie? I'd put Sideways up there, I suffered through that one. Vanilla Sky was pretty dismal as well. [/quote]
