Oh boy. When you put it all on paper, you start to wonder...
This month's move theme: The devil made me do it.
Hints: This movie is subtitled, on the dark side of things, on the non-stop action side of things, and has some some pretty intense gross-out/shock elements. This month's movie might be the director's most straightforward film, which is sayin' somethin' about his body of work...
Content Warnings (there are many, read all the way through): This movie is FULL of blasphemy, casual misogyny, contains a smattering of symbols of American racism (in some background shots and shop windows), and even has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of "But it's tradition!!!" blackface. [BTW, blackface is literally never acceptable, and really REALLY shouldn't be something people want to partake in so badly.] There's also a couple of right-wing-flavored racist utterances by side characters, seemingly to punctuate the terribleness of those characters, as they are buried in dialogue that sets them up as terrible people. There's a couple scenes where a character prepares freshly caught rabbit, and although the animal was certainly obtained by the film crew pre-deceased, it's preeeeetty gnarly. Less terribly, there's a long talk between two characters about virginity, but somehow it leans more to the "this is what I've chosen for myself" end of things than the "this is the only pure way to live" end. And just for funnzies, there's multiple shots of unabashed, older-man, full-frontal. (So many warnings this month, I hopefully didn't forget any, but see below if you have further questions or concerns!)
If you have additional concerns/questions about this month's film, feel free to reach out through facebook, or email info@TimMonsters.com and Tim or I will happily address any concerns, big or small. We want fun surprises for everyone!
Mutual Aid Suggestion: This month's mutual aid suggestion is to contribute to Community Driven, a non-profit that works with medium-to-small scale local grocers and restaurants, taking their potential food-waste and bringing it to appropriate food distribution non-profits. (Most food-rescue non-profits won't work with smaller scale businesses due to the amount of work it takes to obtain their surplus, and how inconsistent their surplus can be.)
