Hermione Belle

It’s was an entertaining movie, but it wasn’t Mulan. It left more questions than it answered and we missed the Classic Disney ending “and they loved happily ever after”. I could waited for the DVD.

I love it but WHY does Disney hide this version of Cinderella? It was done in excellence but when searching for it on Netflix, Comcast or Amazon (Firestick) it’s never an option doesn’t even show.😠😡

I loved this movie! It is both timely and culturally relevant. As I read through some of the critiques, both professional and amateur, I have to say that a common thread emerged for me: The non ethnic voices that perceived this movie as something other than it was. This movie wasn’t about DJT, he is merely part of its backdrop, nor is “MAGA” a new term, it has been used by the Klan and white supremacy members since the Civil War, which is why the term racist has stuck with DJT, if it barks like a dog, well.. And the thought that Mr Lee was dredging up racism that only exists on the fringe of American society is at best naive and at worst intentionally misleading. However for our white brothers and sisters to comment on something they don’t experience in their daily lives, it’s easy to say it’s “on the fringe”. I can assure you it is not. Instead of talking about racism that most ethnic groups live with, the best you can do is try to empathize and ask “why is this still around and causing so many so much pain?” Mr Lee gives a historical account of thing past and present and he does it in a manner that did not stir up anger in me nor most of my friends and family, but it encouraged us. It made us a bit sad that so many still cleave to hate. Mr Morgenson of the Wall Street Journal completely missed the entirety of this amazing piece of art, one which I am sure will be remembered and used to educate generations. Mr Hoose of pluggedin looked at this film possibly through the eyes of his Colorado Springs, descendant of kkk glasses. It’s sad that racism isn’t seen by those who are racist. With the exception of Mr Liam (and his lack of historical facts), I would say these others and any that agree with their misguided review of Blackkklansman, need to consider that their discomfort at this picture may be symptomatic of a deeper, older and more insidious condition of the heart - institutional racism. I loved this movie and it will be a part of my classic movie library, just like Gone with the Wind, which I also love.
