    Saw it today. It's a masterpiece. Everyone must see this. I hope they show it in schools.

    Movie was a disappointment. I thought it would be about my life as a mod.

    "This movie was made just to win awards!"

    So it was made to be good, then?

    I liked Ejiofor in Children of Men and Redbelt but this one doesn't look all that appealing, at least to me.

    Actually, the movie made me feel guilty for being white. It's really painful to watch. Really painful. I'm glad I saw it though.

    hence, white guilt and the need to tell people you saw it. its pretty common. The Butler was the one before that. And that dub step fighter pilot movie before that. And way before that it was saying "2pac was a poet".

    Its like reposting Banksy on your instagram.

    It's hollywood. Special effects. Screenplay was written by someone over a century after the fact.

    Why in the FUCK would it make you feel guilty? You, like me, have never enslaved anyone, not should any of us be held accountable for what people did 100 years ago.
