ChapotraphouseAt the beginning of the movie, Will Smith's character says "Fairy lives don't matter today" and stomps a little fairy to death
Directed by David Ayer, who among other things directed the piece of copaganda horseshit End of Watch, and written by nepo baby sex pest Max Landis.
Released back when people were still watching Netflix films with the hope that they might eventually make a good one.
My "Everyone posting to Hexbear except me is under the age of 21" theory gets stronger and stronger daily
Someone told me once that this is their favorite movie.

Looks like donuts are back on the menu, boyeeeeeeeeeeeez
Will Smith's character says "Fairy lives don't matter today" and stomps a little fairy to death
You have to be joking
It's way worse than described, because the scene has a bunch of black people standing around hooting

I am very dense and I noped out of watching it when I heard that. Not immidiately, though. It took some time to process that this shit's got translated into russian and that I hear that dogwhistle dubbed in a whole another language.

Will Smith has never been a good person.
Have you considered though, as a white guy, this makes me feel better about my white guilt and teaches those people important lessons about how racism is over and they should just stop complaining so much?
Training Day is probably the only one of his (David Ayer) movies I like and watch from time to time. There is still a lot of LA political meddling with the movie, in my opinion. Sort of a misdirection from the realities of CRASH and Rampart. The studio wanted to cut some of the higher-level corruption plot from the movie. It's not as good on politics as it could be but it's enjoyable enough as a movie.
End of Watch is a literal fairy tale. It's obvious Training Day only worked as well as it did because of the actors and Antoine Fuqua. I think both movies are good looks at how Hollywood handles cops before and after 9/11. If End of Watch came out in 2004 it would have won oscars. The second best time for it to come out would have been during 2020-2021. But then there would be a BLM subplot where the cops try to genuinely help protestors before someone throws a brick at their head, proving how dangerous these protests are for our good family-oriented officers.
Bright is like the intersection of several things. It's the Will Smith decline meeting Hollywood trying to re-create the MIB-era of Will Smith greatness. It's Ayer trying to reinvent his shtick of cops in LA, even kind of hoping that Smith could give a Denzel-like performance (he could never). It's Netflix and Landis grabbing hot-topic social media BLM discourse as script-fodder. I wouldn't even go as far to say it's copaganda because I don't even think Netflix gave enough of a fuck to try. They just picked "urban fantasy" and "buddy cop" out of a hat. Everyone else was too self-involved to agree on a overarching political narrative. The "fairy-lives don't matter" shit is just Will trying to play a cop like Denzel, but failing because he sucks, while being fed a script by a human LLM.
There is still a lot of LA political meddling with the movie, in my opinion
Very likely, since the TV show The Shield was supposed to be called Rampart before the LAPD threw a hissy fit.
Watched and instantly forgot because it's so forgettable.
What are we talking about again?
I think it's that Disney movie with blue elves and stuff but they live in modern times and that one character is voiced by Chris Pratt, I only saw it once, it is pretty forgettable like you said.
Huh? I refuse to believe this exists
Why did you remind me this exists
Wtf
Never gonna stop, better watch the clock cuz an orc is a cop, now!
