serious spoilers ahead! read at your own risk and sorry for the lack of punctuation 😭 this was a bit of a serious movie following the romances I’ve been watching but I quite liked the change in pace it’s a movie showcasing the damages of a radical ideology it also shows the importance of educating yourself/becoming politically literate because people who perpetuate radical ideologies aren’t going to say it to your face, they WILL lie to you, and ultimately it’s up to us to see the signs before it’s too late. things I liked: - the theme - the acting, the characters were very convincing in their roles and there was a sense of dread throughout - the ending — no magical resolution, the family does separate - I liked that the showed the consequences of censorship with the sister Anna who was attacked and forced into hiding. things I disliked: - the pacing of the movie, it felt very cluttered - they also didnt give an inside look into the actual politics the “change” was planning for (although we caught glimpses, such as the drone monitored curfew, the census, 20 years for protesting?!?!!) we don’t have much other idea. all we know it’s a very authoritarian regime (tho I beleive that can also work in the favour, any authoritarianism being considered bad etc)
