Mudbound - A movie about the brightest color of the Oscars

Racial discrimination against people of color is one of the themes that Hollywood film societies often exploit and appreciate in the Oscars. Looking back on Oscar in recent years, in 2014, the film 12 Years a Slave won the best film of the year at the Oscars, by 2015 the film Selma was nominated, in 2017 has recently had two films are Moonlight and Fences was nominated, in which Moonlight won Best Film of the Year. At the upcoming 2018 Oscars, Mudbound is sure to be the brightest color film, next to the movie Get Out on the color theme.


The film is based in a poor countryside in the Mississippi Delta, where muddy surroundings and intellectuals are still heavily influenced by racist ideology. At one farm, originally owned by the black-skinned Jackson grandfather who had been taken over by whites, the Jackson family had to work for the new owner of the White McAllan family. It is important that despite the differences in skin color, both Jackson and McAllan's children were enlisted and fought across the hemisphere against Nazi Germany during World War II.

While Ronsel was a tank soldier on the front lines, Jamie was also a B-25 fighter pilot from the air. At the end of the war, two young veterans returned to their hometowns with outcasts, battling their own problems. They are the abandoned generation - a term coined by the great writer Ernest Hemingway to imply a generation of adolescents who engage in war with enthusiasm and return to a fleshly and mentally devastated, complete life. meaningless.


One day, the war ended, Ronsel and Jamie returned home.

Ronsel, when he fought on the plane, saw his teammate head-to-head, his teammates on the other planes were knocked out and he alone survived the fierce battle. From then on, Jamie was severely injured. Returning to his hometown as captain and receiving honorary medals, Jamie was haunted by the horrors of war and had to drink alcohol to get drunk to forget the present.

Meanwhile, Ronsel has a white girlfriend in Germany, to split her hand to return home. Despite being an honorary soldier with a rank of sergeant, Ronsel still faces racial discrimination, especially from Pappy, the father of the McAllan family. Ronsel was forced to go door after buying groceries. With personality from a soldier, Ronsel did not succumb and was very upset but could not change anything in the countryside.


And the miracle happened when Jamie and Ronsel met. The two soldiers who had gone through the war, along with other skinless comrades, experienced pain and loss, quickly became close friends and shared their lives. Jamie is the only white person in this area who is good for a black man, because it does not matter to Jamie. The team that drove the plane to save Jamie in the fierce battle in the past was a black man. And from then on, Jamie realized that everyone was the same, regardless of whether they were black or white. Perhaps this is something only experienced people and faced with war as Jamie understands.

But life is not easy. When Jamie's father Pappy met his son with Ronsel, he was very angry. By the time Ronsel had forgotten the photograph taken by a white German girlfriend with his two children in the car Jamie and Pappy had caught, he went crazy and decided to do something terrible: Call the crowd In the KKK Assembly (White House is superior, often white caps and black assault) to both
Ronsel and Jamie to a warehouse and demanded the execution of two people.

This is the most dramatic and touching scene, when we witnessed Ronsel being tortured, stripped naked and hung up as if dealing with an animal, not a human. But Jamie's friendship and spirit, despite being considered a traitor to his family, is a traitor to his race, and Jamie is determined to protect his dark-skinned friend to the end. Face the risk of execution with your friend.


And then there was the sad ending, when one was killed and one crippled for life. But this is not a sad movie that despairs hope, as neither Jamie nor Ronsel are dead. And to the final frames of the film, before the Mudbound closes, Ronsel arrives in Germany to meet his girlfriend and son, making the horrible things of his hometown go away.

Using the muddy image from the film's title and throughout the movie as a metaphorical symbol, Mudbound successfully communicated the meaning of racism in the post-war United States as well as poor, bottom-up lives. Such as the mud of poor people in the poor countryside.

Mudbound has won 19 wins and 31 nominations at various film festivals and awards, including two Golden Globes nominations in 2018. Mudbound is a movie about the brightest people in the upcoming Oscar season, and it's an emotional movie by director Dee Rees.

Narcos (2015)

Incidentally, I saw an ad for Narco on YouTube, and instead of skipping the ads like I normally do, I played this one out because I was genuinely excited for what I was watching. Instantly I jumped onto Netflix and I was not disappointed. This is a truly gripping show, one of the best I've seen this year. The characters and acting are done well and the storyline moves at a fast enough pace to get your adrenalin pumping for the whole episode. My only fear was that it would be too generic of a Crime drama, but those feelings were quickly swept away. This is truly an original and thoroughly planned out TV show with a whole lot of heart. Maybe the best on Netflix at the moment. Narco doesn't disappoint with any aspect of the show. It's exciting and fast paced, but above all, it makes you want to keep coming back for more.

Borg vs McEnroe (2017)

I was fortunate enough to see "Borg McEnroe (2017)" on opening night for the 42nd Toronto International Film Festival. Without giving away too much (especially if you're like me and you didn't know much about this 1980s tennis rivalry coming into it), I will say that this is a fabulous film and everyone involved in the making of it should give themselves a huge pat on the back. They have done an incredible job in crafting a story that successfully explores, analyzes and pays homage to two contrasting albeit equally fascinating personalities in sports history. Both of the titular characters are played to perfection thanks to virtuoso performances from Sverrir Gudnason and Shia LaBeouf, the latter of whom was practically made for the role. Regardless of what you think about Shia, his commitment to any role is always awe- inspiring and here he gives a performance that so perfectly combines loud-mouthed arrogance with an icy determination that he actually makes it diffi...
