Letitia Wright's SURROUNDED got slept-on when it dropped in 2023, TBH...
She also acted her ass off.
As I have said, it deals with a similar theme to SINNERS...just within a Western setting instead of a southern juke joint. Basically, it's a one location thriller wherein the heroine Mo, played by Tish, has to navigate when a criminal gang encumbers her journey on a stagecoach. Anyway. it's on PRIME. WATCH IT. SUPPORT IT. Letitia Wright is a producer and it is unheard of for a Black woman that young to produce and star in a movie like this. I literally cannot name another western starring a Black woman and if you trust/know my taste, I'm saying it's a decent watch. ...And Jamie Bell basically plays in a similar pool as Remmick. If you are looking for a similarly themed movie to SINNERS, just a different genre and sans blues music... SURROUNDED is pretty much that. BUT and THIS IS KEY, because it's from the perspective of a Black woman... that status means the lack of trust expands a bit because of the greater danger to her. In fact, I think it's interesting to compare her approach to her situation to how the people in that juke joint handled theirs.
#THISISAREC I may come back to this post to expand on that comparison, actually, under a cut, of course, after a rewatch. Because the similarities and differences are interesting.
The images that Israel claims are of fighters arrested and stripped in Gaza include a journalist and his family, two teenage boys, one United Nations employee, and the director of an UNRWA school.
CINDERELLA
cinderella
tell me how’d you do it
how did you stick through it
through the tears
through the pain
through the hurt
i feel stuck
in my head constantly
i wanna give up
but the people around me give me hope
sometimes
but i’m tired of being alone
i’m tired of dealing on my own
and if certain people heard this
they’d think they did something wrong
but it’s my fault
i did this all to myself
i know your story
and i just wanna know how
she said
dont you have time for me
don’t you ever wanna see me
i cry tragically in a corner
i give you everything you need
but you don’t ever thank me
i’m tired of waiting patiently
for you to breathe the same air as me
i guess me and cindie
will bleed

I don't EVER wanna hear you say they don't know how to act again.
things we need to address:
gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc
the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests
the broad effect social media has on public and common good
lazy minds and lack of empathy
outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)
the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation
still waiting for this to happen to me …
