That....... World to Come movie sounds like my thing. Sounds more like Antonioni taking place in old New England than the movies mentioned on the tweet tho. I actually thought Mia Hansen Love was the director.... I have to jot down this new director, I guess.

This sounds interesting. Does it have a release date? Studio?

Overhyped because of Black Lives Matter and the fact that she's a black woman. I know we're not supposed to 'feed the troll' or whatever but seriously dude, just fucking stop.

It is his first comment about this film, as far as I know. He's asserting his guess (I assume that he hasn't seen the movie) as fact, but it's not like what he's saying is impossible. It's a "narrative" that a black woman is making a film about this event, and the narrative can become more important than the quality of the film itself. Narratives are what Oscar campaigns (specifically for actors) are built around. I'm personally curious about the film (depending on trailer quality), but calling him a troll for this one comment shows pure instinctual hive mind thinking of "my side is right, anything outside of it is wrong." His comment should have been prefaced with "This looks like it could be." That's the only problem I can conceivably see with it.

Shocker that you don't engage in meaningful conversation, you just tell people you disagree with to shut up because they're wrong. Well, let's continue to actually cover the film festival and stop attacking people for saying something against holy altar of wokeness.

You're the one who hates Franklin for no reason, so I think that qualifies you as mad. Why would I be mad about being intellectually superior to a man who can only communicate in memes. Shall we get back on topic now? I concede defeat. I can't fight stupid.

You can make the argument that it is a very timely release that could benefit from the real-life goings-on in the world without being offensively reductive to think that the only reason it's getting any praise or hype is because of BLM and because it's directed by a black woman. Right out of the gate, he was dismissive of the film's quality or artistic merit despite having not seen it, and any positive press (in his eyes) must be because of other factors.

That's fair, and adult. That's why I take issue with him stating his view as fact. Labeling him as a troll for a single post is also wrong, and if the echo chamber only goes one way I take issue with that as well.

Labeling him as a troll for a single post is also wrong, and if the echo chamber only goes one way I take issue with that as well. His post history has been dancing on the trollish line as well (i.e. calling PTA's upcoming film his worst, sight unseen, and being rather dismissive of results of polls he makes when they don't go the way he expects). This might be a one-off, but it's still worth calling out. Look, I'm all for discussion about how a film can be received and viewed outside of an artistic prism. That's what cinema (and art in general) is supposed to do. But it's 2020, and when you can't frame an argument beyond a simple minimizing take that is obviously designed to set people off, I've got no time for it.

The gifs/memes are just me having a bit of fun because I don't take any of this stuff too seriously, for better or for worse. stephen, as per usual, perfectly summed up my thoughts and I get where you're coming from too Martin Stett. There's only 2 issues I have with what's been said on this page: 1) You keep on referring to the fact that I've labelled him as a troll for a 'single post' but this isn't true. He's made a whole number of questionable posts over the last few weeks and the whole reason I said "I know we're not supposed to feed the troll" is because I'm directly referencing a comment made by another member here in regards to an earlier post made by Franklin. 2) Maybe it's just me, but calling yourself "intellectually superior" to someone comes across incredibly douchy. I mean it's probably true but it doesn't need to be said.

Well, it is a stage play so not sure how much 3x Emmy Winner, Oscar winner, or for those who live in a bubble that black woman, Regina King will be able to open it up. It did well when it premiered in LA years ago. That guy playing Ali sounds like him. This movie will be interesting because it appears after this meeting he went from Clay to Ali.
