#you could even replace the tasteless civil rights allusions with gross orientalism and essentially turn one into the other. fuck me#I am going to be such a hater on the creator I am so sorry if folks here enjoyed it. no offense and no hard feelings#but if you ever wondered what it would be like if detroid become racist was a movie with a different aesthetic package but the exact same#optics and thematic follow-through. boy is this a perfect flick for you#if you are going to flippantly anthropomorphize your robots to the point of imbuing them with historically loaded cultural aesthetics.#then you're not in need of telling a heightened genre story within scifi trappings. you can just write a fantasy flick or even just#something real or historically rooted. otherwise you lean into the DIFFERENCES and make THAT the root of acceptance#otherwise you're just wanking yourself off for dressing robots in tibetan robes and making it sad when they blow up from american nukes#good lord have some tact or nuance in your god damn filmmaking. I know it's dire in hollywood right now but I KNOW y'all can do better#text#negativity#genuinely a david cage moment but in movies. ladies and gentlemen. we found him
