Bless Spielberg’s little woke heart.
When you’re a Jet!
What’s the matter with Hollywood these days? Is it the drugs? They’ve become a ridiculous bunch of idiots who think they’re better than everyone else because they care about things that make no sense.
The producers will withdraw the movie, rush some sub titles into it, just like they did with Heaven’s Gate(1980), and it will still bomb.
I have no idea but it looks like it is going to suck. Anything too woke sucks nowadays. Still some good stuff out there. Squid Game (Korean) and Cobra Kai (sequel to Karate Kid movies).
As it should. Great news.
I hear that you can catch every covid variant in movie theaters.
Everything WOKE turns to sh!t.
Gee wiz. But the media was saying it was Spielberg’s greatest movie ever! Better than Close Encounters. Better than ET. Better than Jaws. Better than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Better than Schindler’s List. Better than Jurassic Park. Better than Saving Private Ryan.
I don’t think you can trust the media.
Same with woke books, woke News broadcast networks ( CNN is crashing),Jussie Smollet, and many others.
And they wonder why their PC remakes bomb.
Spielberg is a sick freak. I’ve thought that ever since he inserted an oral sex joke in E.T., ostensibly a kid movie. Weird.
Spielberg has been a disaster since he turne hard left. He went from the best Director in Hollywod to nothing. Once upon a time, I would run to one of his movies. Now, I won’t watch a Spielberg movie unless friends I know recommend it and tell me why they recommend it.
He “lost it” long ago. Get woke, go broke is a real phenomenon.
I don’t know why they have to dig up classics and put their contemporary improvements on them. Hey, let’s take some classic Christmas carols and play them in minor keys! Won’t that be amazing! No.
The original West Side Story had actors with darkened faces to represent the Puerto Ricans. This one actually has real Puerto Ricans.
That's not "woke." That's simply a more accurate presentation of the story.
This movie is brilliantly done. It is arguably the best movie remake since 1994's Miracle on 34th Street and will make a profit when overseas and streaming is countered in. The box office tally that is used now is obsolete.
When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way.
But this movie was not even half Jet.
Hollywood is going to continue to ride the WOKE train, even though it derailed decades ago.
What really made the original “West Side Story” so eternal and compelling was its adherence to the true moral of it’s inspiration, “Romeo and Julliet”. The point of Shakespear’s play and Robert Wise’s film was that the honor disputes between the rival groups was a tragedy that destroyed the happiness of the young lovers. By trying to take sides for PC reasons, Spielburg steps on this important eternal message and destroys the real moral lesson of the story that makes it a classic.
You would think smart people like Spielburg would get this but they are blinded by their PC cult beliefs.
