Michelle Obama’s Radiance in Netflix’s ‘Becoming’ - Review

The classiest first lady radiates light and hope on her tour for her autobiography ‘Becoming’.

As memoir of the Former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama’s ‘Becoming’ was received with great praise, the 2020 Netflix adaptation was sure to do the same. The radiating light and hope that this icon bears is highlighted in documentary, directed by Nadia Hallgren. The pure poise and intellect coming from the former First Lady is one that is rarely seen in many leaders nowadays, as she shows her truly open support for minorities. Inspiring those close to and far from her, Hallgren’s film strictly gives us insight into Obama’s growth and continued, beaming influence. Though with not nearly enough time to go further than skimming the surface of the woman she is known to be, the feature still ticks the boxes of what a documentary should be.

Following Obama on the tour for her autobiographical novel ‘Becoming’, she crosses the United States to speak on her experience living and working as the 44th First Lady. Michelle’s life is split into moments at home, her time on the road working, as well as perfectly discussing touching issues with the younger generation. As documentaries go, ‘Becoming’ certainly offers rare insight into the woman behind the glorified persona that she is expected to live up to. As we get to see Obama dashing to and from high security events and paraded around in Range Rovers, we can feel as though we’re getting an exclusive look into what goes on behind the curtain. Yet, as much as these scenes are shown & backed by an emotive soundtrack, we’re never given real insight beyond the inspiring, lighthearted material. We are given the promise of hope from the Obama’s, followed by the shots of stadiums filled with crowds staring at the former First Lady in awe, as she somehow relates her experience living as a family in the White House to the audience. Sure, there are some snippets of secrets that we wouldn’t have heard from the media, like how Obama had told her butlers to take off their tuxedos and stop serving her kids’, so that they can be raised knowing how to make a bed. Or a story about as the White House was lit up in rainbow to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage, she and daughter, Malia, snuck out to join the moment.

However shallow the documentary’s presentation may be, it is the real nature of Obama that is powerful. Following her time after the 2016 election, she highlights how the ending of her role as First Lady affected her, stating ‘I was sobbing on Airforce One for 30 minutes. I think it was just the release of eight years of trying to do everything perfectly.’ In another moment of reflection, she touches on that same pressure, revealing, ‘It’s hard to wake up everyday and maintain that level of perfection that was absolutely required of me and Barack as the first black President and First Lady.’ Again, we are only presented snippets of touching moments to give a sense of ‘realness’ to Obama’s life. Yet, by keeping in shallow waters, we are left without an in depth look at who Michelle really is, beyond the glamorisation of her life as a political icon. Her grand elegance and light is there, but what really drives her to stand so proudly on such a high pedestal? And why is she so greatly recognised as a universal inspiration? Touching moments that are seen is when she visits her family home in Chicago to speak about her life growing up. There is, of course, a great contrast between what she was and has now become, which can be said is a vulnerable place to go, as the role of a First Lady can be seen or expected as someone born into privilege. Certainly not a rags to riches story, but we can see the environment of her real upbringing, and how the people around her made her who she is today.

To find relatable ground with audiences and speak on the importance of ones personal journey is what is touched on the most, getting those watching to see eye to eye with such a respected leader. When visiting Chicago, she speaks about losing her father to MS, as well as sharing the sweet story on how her and Barack met at a law firm. These aspects give us a sense of her as a ‘real’ person who’s ‘just like us’.  This realness is further seen when following Obama around as she speaks, not only to, but with wide-eyed college students on stops of her tour. These scenes in the documentary can be seen as the most compelling, as it is what Michelle is best at - being a leader & boldly inspiring the next generation to come.

The importance of her visiting community centres to talk to the younger generation, is not because it’s something that is required as the job of First Lady, but because it is something that she genuinely wants to do. To connect and share the relevance of a journey. Where we could see First Ladies as passive and only a figure fulfilling their duties, it’s clear to see that it means so much more to her. She states, ‘I crave some longer experiences with young people. Through the community events. The tour could do a great job of giving me a little taste of it’. As a feminist, supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and advocate for racial issues, her democracy and connection with others shines through. Where politicians lack empathy, Obama’s everpresent support for all is what has the youth grasping at her for advice, and listening to her with sheer adoration. Speaking on using your voice in the world today, she states, ‘we can’t afford to wait for the world to be equal to start feeling seen. We’re far from it…so you’ve got to find the tools within yourself to feel visible and to be heard and to use your voice.’  These moments focusing the value of ones education and personal journey can strike a chord with the younger generation, as Obama’s teachings come from such a powerful place - her experience.

Another memorable quote from Becoming that sums up Obama’s heartening attitude towards groups of young dreamers, stating, “I have been at, probably, every powerful table there is in the world. I’ve been at G-summits, I’ve been in castles and palaces, in boardrooms and academic universities. And I’m coming down from the mountaintop to tell every young person that is poor and working-class and has been told, regardless of the colour of your skin, that you don’t belong, don’t listen to them. They don’t even know how they got into those seats.” With oppression brought unto her and Barack as the first Black President and First Lady, millions can even sympathise with her time in the White House. Amongst all the pressure and radical racism coming from so much of the United States throughout her eight years leading, to relate to todays generations is a through her embracing of youth and diversity is a superpower. It, again, is this pure openness and encouragement of the younger generation that sets her aside from any regular politician. The promise of tomorrow and inspiration given to those once like her years ago is what makes a leader.

As a sense of cool is brought to the table, as Obama dresses in a yellow silk frock, with striking Balenciaga boots before walking on to speak to another crowd of thousands. The closing scenes are backed by Frank Ocean’s ‘Godspeed’, and one of her fitters comments on a blazer of hers that reminds her of Elvis. Obama’s mix of grace, understanding and style are all elements that have her seen as such a powerful figure. It is the quality of openness that we so love in figures like Michelle Obama. Someone dangerously and boldly supportive of minorities, like icons Malala Yousafzai or Princess Diana. Nadia Hallgren’s adaptation of Obama’s autobiography ‘Becoming’ hit Netflix in May of 2020 & successfully gave insight into the publicised life of Michelle Obama. Though skimming the surface of Obama as a person, we can see the grand influence that she had and still has unto others following her time as one of the most inspirational First Ladies of all time.

Developers accuse Apple of anti-competitive behavior with its privacy changes in iOS 13

A group of app developers have penned a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, arguing that certain privacy-focused changes to Apple’s iOS 13 operating system will hurt their business. In a report by The Information, the developers were said to have accused Apple of anti-competitive behavior when it comes to how apps can access user location data.

With iOS 13, Apple aims to curtail apps’ abuse of its location-tracking features as part of its larger privacy focus as a company.

Today, many apps ask users upon first launch to give their app the “Always Allow” location-tracking permission. Users can confirm this with a tap, unwittingly giving apps far more access to their location data than is actually necessary, in many cases.

In iOS 13, however, Apple has tweaked the way apps can request location data.

There will now be a new option upon launch presented to users, “Allow Once,” which allows users to first explore the app to see if it fits their needs before granting the app developer the ability to continually access location data. This option will be presented alongside existing options, “Allow While Using App” and “Don’t Allow.”

The “Always” option is still available, but users will have to head to iOS Settings to manually enable it. (A periodic pop-up will also present the “Always” option, but not right away.)

The app developers argue that this change may confuse less technical users, who will assume the app isn’t functioning properly unless they figure out how to change their iOS Settings to ensure the app has the proper permissions.

The developers’ argument is a valid assessment of user behavior and how such a change could impact their apps. The added friction of having to go to Settings in order to toggle a switch so an app to function can cause users to abandon apps. It’s also, in part, why apps like Safari ad blockers and iOS replacement keyboards never really went mainstream, as they require extra steps involving the iOS Settings.

That said, the changes Apple is rolling out with iOS 13 don’t actually break these apps entirely. They just require the apps to refine their onboarding instructions to users. Instead of asking for the “Always Allow” permission, they will need to point users to the iOS Settings screen, or limit the apps’ functionality until it’s granted the “Always Allow” permission.

In addition, the developers’ letter pointed out that Apple’s own built-in apps (like Find My) aren’t treated like this, which raises anti-competitive concerns.

The letter also noted that Apple in iOS 13 would not allow developers to use PushKit for any other purpose beyond internet voice calls — again, due to the fact that some developers abused this toolkit to collect private user data.

“We understand that there were certain developers, specifically messaging apps, that were using this as a backdoor to collect user data,” the email said, according to the report. “While we agree loopholes like this should be closed, the current Apple plan to remove [access to the internet voice feature] will have unintended consequences: it will effectively shut down apps that have a valid need for real-time location.”

The letter was signed by Tile CEO CJ Prober; Arity (Allstate) President Gary Hallgren; CEO of Life360 Chris Hullsan; CEO of dating app Happn Didier Rappaport; CEO of Zenly (Snap), Antoine Martin; , CEO of Zendrive, Jonathan Matus which; and chief strategy officer of social networking app Twenty, Jared Allgood.

Apple responded to The Information by saying that any changes it makes to the operating system are “in service to the user” and to their privacy. It also noted that any apps it distributes from the App Store have to abide by the same procedures.

It’s another example of how erring on the side of increased user privacy can lead to complications and friction for end users. One possible solution could be allowing apps to present their own in-app Settings screen where users could toggle the app’s full set of permissions directly — including everything from location data to push notifications to the app’s use of cellular data or Bluetooth sharing.

The news comes at a time when the U.S. Dept. of Justice is considering investigating Apple for anti-competitive behavior. Apple told The Information it was working with some of the impacted developers using PushKit on alternate solutions.
