re: #201 SixDegrees

Actually, the shallowness and stereotyping present in the film were mentioned by a reviewer for NPR. It isn’t confined to the “rightosphere.”

But that’s what you get with Cameron - a two and a half hour film, with 5 minutes or less worth of backstory, character development and plot. Anything that gets in the way of moving the action forward gets left in the dust, painted with a brush a mile wide but only an inch deep.

It doesn’t detract from the movie as far as I could tell. It’s hugely entertaining and visually gorgeous. I enjoyed it.

One of the best reviews I’ve seen yet of the movie.

I agree 100%
