These are the stories I’ve been waiting my whole life for. I’ve found them in dark, private spaces till now. But writ large by major directors? Ah that feels good.
Superman was created in response to both the Great Depression and specifically the rise of the Nazis.
Paragons like Superman and Captain America are at their most popular when society is at its lowest specifically because it offers hope of a world where people simply aren’t that shit. Or at least a brief fantasy of it.
I liked the darkness and the setting, but the vampires were badly written. Everything was so obvious. The klan added basically 0 to the film other than “let’s kill some racists” type justice boners. Everything was resolved by then…
That’s why I appreciated Sinners so much.
Give me more monologues like that.
