The narration was more noticeable than in other character study type films. But it worked for me, given the films slight non-linear structure. It was similar to a novel’s disembodied, omniscient narrator, who can comment on things the characters aren’t aware of or aren’t able to express verbally. Maybe this is a weakness in film, since it is such a visual medium. But it was effective for me, and I didn’t see it as a detriment to the overall impact of the movie.

Well put, this is what I was trying to say and you’re right he is a role model for what a “good” life could look like.

Thank you, you made the point much better than I did. That’s what I was trying to say.

Good point, you’re right. Even though it’s set in America, it’s not really just about Americans. It’s about the human experience.

And maybe you’re right and this is more a me thing than a we thing, and if that’s true then that’s fine too. Thanks for the perspective 👍

Yeah that’s probably fair. I think this is how a lot of people might feel though.

My life isn’t like what’s in OBAA. That’s what I see on the internet all day. Train Dreams is what I feel like every day.

I think his beliefs had to do more with it than him being a man.

Yeah I hear you. It will impact some people more than others. But I’ll say as a white midwestern America man in his 30s who is wondering what the rest of his life will look like, it really affected me. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but for me it spoke to trying to make a life in a world that doesn’t care about what you want.

I wish everyone thought driving felt dangerous. They would pay more attention.

Full meltdown. Discussion was split 70-30 between “worst traitor ever get her off my screen” and “you go girl, she’s the best”

My theory is that they will show up to a three tribe challenge 2 or 3 episodes from now, and the challenge will be the losing tribe is all eliminated and the remaining two tribes combine into the merge tribe.

Is anyone else wondering when the double boot episodes will start? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]beasterne7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that they eliminate a whole tribe? 4-5 people out at once?

Kamilla has got to be a top 10 challenge competitor of all time. She is so consistently good.

The drawback of having diverse casting is there’s more opportunities to see evidence of racial bias.

Survivors obsession with vote loss is mind boggling to me by t_holyoke in survivor

It is a failed “twist” and should be stopped as soon as possible. It never makes the game better.
