This scene was pure comedy gold and truly hilarious. It's giving guy who came to pick up his girlfriend, and the door got opened by her disapproving mother.

Review : Native Son (2019)

Call it an embarrassment of riches, but there are way too many streaming services out there to keep track of.  It’s a full time job knowing what’s streaming where, and more importantly, what exclusives or unique projects are showing up where.  That’s why, during a recent dig through the HBO app to find the latest episode of Game of Thrones, I was stunned to see Richard Wright’s Native Son in movie form.  Not only was I unaware that the book had been adapted to a film, but it appears to have also gotten a modern day update.  So, with no knowledge of what I was getting in to, I decided to dive in. 

Bigger Thomas (Ashton Sanders) is a young Chicago native with dreams and aspirations of bigger things.  Though deeply involved with is family, his community, and his girlfriend Bessie (Kiki Layne), Bigger struggles to fit in on a sincere level, choosing instead to wear his difference as a badge of honor.  Bigger is given the opportunity to become a driver for Henry Dalton (Bill Camp), his blind wife Peggy (Barbara Sukowa), and his daughter Mary (Margaret Qualley).  As Bigger attempts to navigate the conflicts that arise on both sides of his new experience, issues continue to arise to the point that he loses focus in a way that threatens to jeopardize his life forever.   

Rashid Johnson makes some wonderful choices in the adaptation of this seminal piece of work, chiefly the choice to drench Bigger in the Afropunk aesthetic to show how he fails to fit into either world he inhabits.  Chicago also serves as a proper setting for the story, as it has both the dangerous and the alluring at its core, providing the sense of two worlds.  The modern update is woven so seamlessly into the story that many may not realize it is an adaptation, and one that’s true to the original, with the update fitting so well that even the name Bigger relates to Biggie Smalls and so on.  At the root, the story examines the story of a man attempting to hold in the inevitable explosion that the world expects from him, at times even seemingly trying to force the reaction.  Bigger, therefore, finds himself living life with his guard up to both sides of his world, as he constantly deals with the dual-sided coin of white microagressions and black peers viewing him as a sellout.  Bigger miraculously, however, manages to maintain his humanity, even when his hand is forced, and especially when his back is against the wall.

Native Son serves as a reflection on poverty, opportunity, and what lengths those who want to better themselves are willing to go to.  Bigger represents those with a long term state of mind in a short term predicament, where stability is in direct opposition to easy money, and the temptation of the quick fix clouds judgement.  The film itself is an emotionally taxing one, where the presentation of the story allows us to feel the weight of Bigger’s problems as if they’re ours.  Despite this heaviness, Bigger is still forced to wear a mask to keep up appearances, foolishly being asked to prove he hasn’t changed in spite of his given opportunity.  This runs parallel with the recognition that Bigger’s seemingly singular job opportunity also includes manual labor and the babysitting of a young adult, the latter of which puts him into having to deal with racial debates and posturing.  Mary also provides a different realm of temptation that Bigger is mostly able to avoid, but when the situations hit extreme things go horribly wrong.

The episodic nature of the film (complete with title cards) makes the film play out like both a living, breathing book and an emotional checklist for Bigger’s state of mind.  The nature of this update/adaptation is incredibly smart, and so natural that without context, many would probably think the film is an original.  Bigger’s costume design, in particular, is incredibly strong, making him stand out among the rest of the inhabitants in the world of the film.  The inclusion of the film Sweet Sweetback’s Badass Song plays as symbollic to Bigger (and most black men’s) struggle in trying to find respect and stability in a crazy world.  The soundtrack is amazing, mixing hip-hop, punk rock, soul and classical music effortlessly, and further driving home Bigger’s natural diversity as a character.  The time-lapse shots used help to punctuate all of the tension that Bigger faces.

Ashton Sanders brings a measured, cautious approach to his performance, never fully letting his guard down for anyone, and letting it down the most when around his family... the presence of dignity he exudes carries him through the early experiences, and tears him apart at the most drastic times.  Margaret Qualley and her playful exuberance, in tandem with her knowledge of self and ‘the help’, creates a bright spot that becomes a sense of danger when foreign elements enter her system.  Nick Robinson and his sense of duty/righteousness makes him the innocent of the film, even though his ideas make him one of the more forward-thinking characters.  Kiki Layne brings a sense of support to the table for Bigger, though not at the expense of her needs.  Sanaa Lathan also provides support, though hers is of the unconditional nature, in her motherly role.  Bill Camp brings an attitude of understanding an opportunity, being trusting with no clue of what is in store for his character.  Appearances by Stephen Henderson, Lamar Johnson, Jerod Haynes, Barbara Sukowa, Elizabeth Marvel, and a brief appearance from David Alan Grier rounds out the cast.

It honestly took me way too long to come around to watching this film, but I’m glad that I finally did.  I’m curious about future Ashton Sanders performances based on this one, and I will certainly be encouraging others to watch this beautiful and intense piece of art.

・ ・ 『Swallow スワロウ』観た。 ・ 痛々しい異食症が目に焼き付くが本題は違い、民主党支持派からトランプ政権へのアンサーフィルムなのかな？と(2019年現在で)。 昨年の｢WAVES/ウェイブス｣では、産婦人科へ入る前、そして、そこから出た後もキリスト教右派のデモが強烈に印象的だったが、どうも意味深だった。 あえてキーワードは書かないが、“女性を守る”という事と“女性の権利”は反比例していて、宗教や地位や理屈ではどちらも片付かない時代になっているという事なのか？と。 また、もう一つあり、女性は用を足す為だけに物や場所を使っている訳ではないという事。 ・ ところで、ヘイリー・ベネットが熟した。 ｢ヒルビリー・エレジー｣はまだ観ていないが、｢ハードコア｣と｢ガール・オン・ザ・トレイン｣のビッチぶりが未だ鮮明で抜けないのだが、ベネットのベイビーフェイスが｢Swallow/スワロウ｣の役柄を引き立てた感があった。 また、｢Swallow/スワロウ｣は旦那？彼氏？なジョー・ライトとの共同プロデュースがニクい！ 妊娠した時にお互いが思った事の集大成だったのかな？と。 ・ #swallow #スワロウ #カーロミラベラデイヴィス #carlomirabelladavis #ジョーライト #joewright ・ #ヘイリーベネット #haleybennett #オースティンストウェル #austinstowell #エリザベスマーヴェル #elizabethmarvel ・ #ビー玉 #marble #異食症 #pica #スリラー映画 #thrillerfilm ・ #映画 #movie #ビバムビ #instamovie #moviestagram #instagood #instapic ・ #staysafe #socialdistancing #withコロナ #newnormal (シネクイント) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJnvlIxAqmq/?igshid=1qzuoscqqj3uq

Not sure if this is what they were going for but: consider if there was an @andersoncooper or a @billoreilly in the aftermath of the Civil War? This may be the sociopolitical side of @newsoftheworldmovie yet that seems to be the concept in the film rendition of the book. Although set in Texas, this is truly a story of the South, failed and defeated, yet told on their turf. Although anyone watching the film will recognize evil when it appears, @tomhanks acts as a witness to where this violence and racism comes from — particularly through the role of a paternal guardian to @helena.zengel.official. This is the contemporary commentary we expect from Paul Greengrass, yet this film has much more in common with “The Theory of Flight” (1998) than the line-up of thrillers he’s done since then. Make no mistake, @newsoftheworldmovie has suspense, but Greengrass is significantly more fixated on coping with death. Hollywood has spent decades glamorizing the wild west (circa. 1850s —to— 1890s), yet this drama is a raw depiction of the era, displaying the unruly chaotic of these outpost cities and wild plaines. 🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞 #NewsoftheWorld #PaulGreengrass #TomHanks #HelenaZengel #RayMcKinnon #ElizabethMarvel #MichaelAngeloCovino #film #filmmaking #filmmaker #movie #movies #moviereview #cinema #cinematography #screenplay #PauletteJiles #actor #actress #news #newspapers #fakenews #CivilWar #South #Texas #DallasTexas #SanAntonio #WildWest #NativeAmerican https://www.instagram.com/p/CJTlplpBE6Q/?igshid=180tdhmaeu5cq

😈...As Supernatural quickly approaches its end, there's a search for a new supernatural drama...😈...Helstrom, now streaming on Hulu, follows the story of siblings Daimon and Santana Helstrom who are dealing with "literal" demons from their past...😈...They derive from an apparently long line of demons, which is why this series has a rough beginning with that lack of a backstory...😈...Their mother was locked away in a mental institution because she was possessed by a demon called MOTHER, right? Hmm...😈...That was one of many questions I wanted answered but sadly it, like many other gaps in the story, were left short handed...😈...The Helstrom background was never revealed in full detail other than the fact that DAD was a serial killer/demon of great power...😈...But who was he exactly? Was Dad Lucifer? Was mother Lilith going by a different name? And how do demons fit into the lives of the series setting?..😈...Are they demons that came out of the closet so to speak and are they only found in Oregon?..😈...Putting this aside, the cast was well picked and the acting was great, except for the Mother Teresa nun trying to be Miss-Goody-two-shoes pushing her faith that got her nowhere...😈...My favorite concept of this whole dark and "supposedly superhero" themed series, where the powers that Daimon possessed for they were portrayed realistically without the fancy hoo-ha...😈...But the ending however, was left in a cliffhanger leaving the possibility of a season 2 but who was that man? Was that Dad? If there is a season 2, I do hope the show writers/creators add in more of a background into the Helstrom bloodline...😈...I rate Hulu's Helstrom 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #supernatural #drama #hulu #tvseries #demons #possession #review #reviews #myreview #tvreview #reviewerofinstagram #fantasy #horror #marvel #sydneylemmon #tomausten #arianguerra #elizabethmarvel #alainuy #robertwisdom #junecarryl #davidmeunier #paulzbyszewski #daimonhelstrom #santanahelstrom #marvelshelstrom (at Silverado Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGoKMjxAX4W/?igshid=1o2kou2y0u0v9

‘Homeland’ Season 7 Trailer Shows a Shift from Terrorists to Governmental Misconduct!!! Check It Out!!

‘Homeland’ Season 7 Trailer Shows a Shift from Terrorists to Governmental Misconduct!!! Check It Out!! #Homeland, #Showtime, #ClaireDanes, #MandyPatinkin, #ElizabethMarvel, #AmyHargreaves

Homeland has had its ups and downs over the years, and it feels so far removed from its early seasons that I have almost completely forgotten about the Brody family (almost). Each season since Season 4 has felt a little bit like a reboot, with varying success, like how Season 6 started off fairly strong, but became a little too convoluted towards the end. At first, it seemed like the show was…
