There's one thing I wanted to point out about the transphobia, and I will also include racism that's in this film.
There's a scene in this film in which there's some commentary about police brutality.
And I feel like what I got from that was, again, not a perspective, but more like a pointing to it.
Like when you said, they said, here's a trans person.
That's kind of like the biggest issue that I have here is to say, if you're going to make the joke, either make the joke and say it with your chest or don't mention it at all.
Because it's like you're not making the joke.
Now you're just referencing it as funny, which just makes me say, like, I need to know what you think about this so that I know, like, are you being smart?
Are you writing something or are you just confused at the prospect?
I think the fact that they are doing that, I take issue with.
So I feel like if you are going to do parody and do that and you don't have a perspective, then you're absolutely right.
We end up walking into a movie just being like, oh, we're just supposed to laugh at this even though we walk back outside and things feel just a little bit more tense than that.
That's all I'm saying about parody and comedy.
