Waste wood + chatterbox movie

Joana 2022-04-20 09:01:47

Another kind of chatter movie. It was adapted from the play, so saliva is inevitable. If it weren't for the black theme, this movie should not have attracted much attention. This year's Oscars are about political correctness, so the original ordinary film was just stuffed into the best nominations.

At the end of the day, it's a story of Luther, a failed father, and it's the kind of shit that's trending right now. Well, rubbish movies are in vogue, "Manchester by the Sea" and even "Moonlight" count. The world is so traumatized that we need to heal? The story is really generic.

Denzel Washington's acting is still impeccable, but the black guy who sells the musical instrument is even better.

In the end, after the death of his father, the father and son finally reached a reconciliation, keeping the clouds open and seeing the future. This is a bit like another version of "Big Fish", but of course this story is more sad and helpless.

    Bono: They're old folks. My granddaddy used to pull his teeth with pliers. They ain't had no dentists for colored folk back then.

    Troy: Well, get clean pliers. You understand? Clean pliers.

  • Rose: I took all my feelings, my wants and needs and dreams, and I buried them inside you. I planted a seed and watched and prayed over it. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom! And it didn't take me no 18 years to realize the soil was hard and rocky, and it wasn't never gonna bloom!
