Warning: Spoilers
The concept is good but the execution a joke. I like movies with messages as I believe they are important and so is the topic of this movie. But instead of making me think of the bigger picture, I started to question the directors intentions. It seems like the script was written by a kid for a junior school project against racism. It has absolutely no depth or intelligent plot, the entire story is used to portray racist stereotypes in an extreme unrealistic proportion
It appears as if the writer and Director of this Movie reflected his emotions into the movie resulting into what seems to be a rather irrational parody than a educative representation of real problems in our society
As the movie progressed I started to feel more and more uncomfortable because of how the antagonist is depicted. Karen who is named after the Slang "Karen" is not an actual Karen but an openly racist person. This movie tried to portray as if all Karen's are also racist while giving the vibe as if Black Women can't be Karens and that this term is exclusively for white racist women.
The way people in the movie were chosen proves my point. All reasonable friends are black, the lawyer is black and so was the attorney and even the only one in the entire neighborhood who openly stated that Karen is racist was chosen to be Asian. Other white people in this movie have show hidden racist characteristics. Like "oh look black peoples in the neighborhood" and "we need some black peoples in this neighborhood" and of course a white police officer who's a complete psychopath and part of a secret society of powerful white peoples protecting each other and with it allowing them to do whatever they want. And let's not forget the restaurant owner who kicked out the black people from the restaurant. Seems like the whole town is part of the neighborhood.
But at least the movie made the cop who saves the day white right? Probably because making him black would be too obvious.
And for the end the slogan "all lives don't matter until black lives matter too" is over the top like the entire movie. Don't wanna get too political here but I as a white jew have the right to say that this is total none sense. My people are discriminated since always and this slogan gives me the same vibe as "all lives matters" to Black People.
"Black Lives Matter" 100% true "All lives matter" racist people not getting the point "all lives don't matter until black lives matter too" people who think that only racism again black people matters.
