Awards success of Emilia Pérez prompts outrage in Mexico and among trans activists

I think "sparks outrage" is the proper terminology.

Trans outrage?

So rare!

Does it please and sparkle?

🤣 like MAGA these extreme people can’t help but eat their own.

Rather ridiculous criticism. It was a great film and I think if you look at the story of someone who felt stuck in the wrong body, making the courageous decision to live their truth and proceed with gender reassignment surgery that would have been in this Narcos lifestyle, that had a family, there would have been issues and doubts all along the way. That's honest.

So what if the actresses aren't Mexican? It's not the first time that's happened in a Latin film. It just seems like an excuse to hate on Karla Sofia and the film without even watching it. I didn't think it portrayed an untrue version of Mexico, and my husband is Mexican and was born there.

It was fantastic. All of them were.

It was terrible. All of them were terrible except Zoe Saladana.

R5 = Zoe Saldana

R7 Zoe Saladdana

r10 Ziggy Salamadonna

R11 Zoroaster Salamander

A bunch of overwrought TWADDLE. Every other minute someone bursts into a crappy song. Ya basta!

Salamina

Why can't a film just be a film anymore. Im so sick of art having to hold politics on its shoulders. It's fucking trans woman who happens to be a drug dealer. Lawd, people are so touchy. I might go see this just for Zoe Saldana.

r11 is it one of those musicals where it seems awkward when people burst out in song and dance because those are the worst?

Whoever posted on social media that Gascon won a Golden Globe should be reminded that she didn't.

I miss escapism too, r13. Those movies are still out there of course, the summer is usually full of them.

Showee Shuldunder

Give it a rest, r17.

R18 Resht?

Ooopsh ish mee

Does she have a pussy?

ALL "trans" characters MUST BE heroic, valiant, and virtuous victims! The gifting of their "trans" identity MUST be the main dramatic conceit of the entire story, or else you are ALL MAGA EXTREME TRANSPHOBIC TERFS!

[quote]Glaad, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organisation, described the film as a “profoundly retrograde portrayal of a trans woman” and a “step backward for trans representation”.

Did GLAAD write this apres-ski from a five-star resort in Gstaad?

Luigi Mangione, where are you when we need you?

Thank god this trans crap is coming up end this year.

That’s how Marxism works. Everything much support the state, support a narrative. It’s Stalin 101. Art has no value if it isn’t supporting a specific cause or goal.

My OCD has been triggered. Why do Brits spell organization with an s.

Just looked at the Wiki page for the film. It’s opening has the criticism. Just before I checked the source I thought, “Let me guess, The Guardian.” Sure enough it was. lol

Were any bricks thrown in the movie?

In Trump’s America, all art must support MAGA or it will be boycotted

Marxism is an economic theory. How you translate that into being artistically repressive makes no sense
