It’s incredible how a film can change the trajectory of someone’s life. I was thinking about this the other day, how certain movies can shape us during key moments even more than the people around us sometimes do.
This is eclectic! I've not seen a couple you mentioned and will check them out. Re: O Brother, the casting and directors were blocks for me. But I'm inspired by your description for another look! Also, I watch a LOT of British TV dramas, crime, detective series - so I get that working class, white supremacy theme.
completely agree re your reaction to o brother, bizarre choice to make a film so intrinsically about black culture and cast one black actor but hollywood stays disappointing (but never surprising).
pls send me a list of anything you’ve seen, i’d love to hear !!
