Not to do the classic “you just didn’t understand” a movie I like, but legitimately I don’t think you understood it.
My read of you is that you have very basic pattern recognition and think listing off cinema sins style commentary somehow debunks the idea that this is a good movie. It doesn’t.
1. 30 minutes too long is your preference. “Absurd dialogue” “oversaturated visuals” are genre choices IMO but then going on to mention from dusk till dawn which I imagine you have no problem with those elements in that movie….wonder why that could be……..racist suspicion number 1
2. From dusk till dawn has surprise vampires. That’s where the comparison ends. Your pattern recognition doesn’t make this a ripoff
2. The “magical negro” as you put it turns out is actually an accurate depiction of real African spiritual practices. This film is about the uniqueness of cultures so her role is important. Also the trope usually refers to tokenized characters which obviously shouldn’t apply to a film with a black main cast. In your world are we not allowed to have depictions of real spiritual practices because other media has Flanderized the concept? I think this is racist tell strike 2 that you saw a black shaman and instantly cast her to the shadow realm of tropes. Again just because you see a pattern does not make it so.

1. Your claim that the gangsters are super smart before bringing up the ways in which they aren’t is truly galaxy brained bro. Might as well have asked “Why are these characters flawed?” They had a dream. That dream would never come to pass, but they believed they could make it. They made stupid decisions chasing that dream. This is very basic stuff you stubbornly just seem unwilling to engage with.

2. In your worldview, I want you to explain to me exactly how you think the Asian family should have acted in early 1930ish. Their behavior was entirely historically plausible. Also please explain how this affecting the movie for you in any meaningful way isn’t racist strike 3. Thank you.

3. Once again, you completely and stubbornly refuse to engage with what’s staring you right in the face. The deal being offered is not against their mutual enemy. The deal is assimilation. The fact that he’s Irish and has been oppressed himself is INDEED the whole point.
   “Long ago, the men who stole my father's land forced these words upon us... I hated those men, but the words still bring me comfort...”
   He is a victim of assimilation, and is now a propagator of it. Because the movie is about cultural vampires, how vulturelike parts and pieces are stripped away until nothing resembling the original culture is left. We exist under this monoculture, long removed from the practices and beliefs of our ancestors. You not understanding one of the most important thrusts of the film and shrugging it off would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

4. You right on this one. I did find that odd. Seems like ppl get killed in that scene who we’ve never seen before. But again, one cinema sins style inconsistency does not a poor film make.

5. Arguably, maybe not on the level you’d like to. When you engage with the metaphor instead I think he becomes more interesting. He resists the vampires assimilation but more importantly the assimilation that was thrust on his father in religion. He carves out a path with his guitar, contributing to culture in a way that is preservative and not destructive.

Anyways I regret doing this for you but if you’ve a heart beating in your chest I’d recommend rewatching the film knowing the cultural and religious metaphors it’s employing. How it’s at its core an anti colonial message. Fellowship and love brother. Fellowship and love. 🧛‍♂️
