Love this Raechel! Particularly on our capacities to ‘use’ whatever the culture machine produces to our own ends, rather than needing to feel passive and miserable in the face of it at all. We can co-opt too you know!
This was such a good review, thank you! I knew I couldn’t stomach the movie (in part because I hate when horror/scifi/dystopia just puts white people in the positions BIPOC are usually in — other part, as you mention, because I know I couldn’t separate the images from the reality of war happening RIGHT NOW) so I really appreciate reading your thoughts on it!!
Totally legit choice to skip this one for those reasons. But love a fellow media nerd who can appreciate the discussion around a text for what it generates even beyond the text itself!! 👯♀️🖤🖤🎥🎥
