Introduction A couple of weeks ago, I found out that I got AppleTV+ with my bank account. I have used it to watch a few things but two weeks ago my friend Les saw it at the cinema and told us how good it was. I saw it was on AppleTV+ and, though it is not my normal thing, decided to watch it. Some of the actors and the writer/director Steve McQueen drew me to it.

The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Vampire Stories appeal to gothic romantics
I just finished reading a Top Story written by Angel Hepworth, a negative review of the "Twilight" movie based on Stephanie Meyers books. I did not read any of those books, but I was a passionate fan of the movie series and watched the films more than once. After reading the points made by Hepworth in her review, I feel like I may be in the minority (although that does seem awkward considering how successful the books and movies were) when I say that I still love those movies. I read all of the negative feedback, but I just couldn't make myself agree. The only thing I could say in my defense as a fan of the Twilight saga, is that it's like creamed corn. I love creamed corn, especially in entertainment.

Watching Twilight For The First Time. Top Story - November 2024.
This is sort of weird for what an avid reader of young adult fiction I was back in my teens, but I never actually read much of Stephanie Meyer’s famous Twilight. I briefly borrowed one of the books from my cousin, skimmed a few pages, and then gave it back because I didn’t like it. And that’s where it ended for me.

Diversity and the Critic
One of the weirder problems with being a critic is the wokeness problem. The essential problem is that encouraging diversity is good, but there are times when diversity gets pushed to the point where it actually becomes a parody of itself, and there are even times when it distracts from the film itself. Worse are those times when the need to diversify character types creates some weird situations due to the change in race or sex of the characters. This makes life interesting for the critic because calling it out can call down a lot of fire on the critic, creating its own issues. There needs to be some way to navigate the problem.

"It Was of Its Time" Needs to Become a Red Flag
One of the weirder parts about being a critic is the issue of what to do about older media. The problem is that society has progressed; the casual racism, sexism, and homophobia of the past are just not as acceptable as they once were; let's just say that a lot of comics and movies from the WWII era have not aged well. Making it weirder, you even have movies or books that were behind the times even when they were published, such as "Birth of a Nation" or a lot of 1950s movies. Adding to the fun is that some movies or books even poke fun at some of those old-fashioned mores; giving them a proper critique can be difficult in and of itself.
