The Blindside, Emilia Perez and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas outta be studied for how backhandedly insulting and damaging they are to the people they're supposedly representing.

When it comes to discourse over representation and what is or isn't tasteful there's basically always going to be some blowback as someone is always going to be mad at how someone else is talking about their generational trauma. It happens, humans are not hiveminds you can never carry so many thousands of perspectives on something.

These three are not the only films of their kinds by a long shot but they represent such obvious lack of foresight and care by the authors when you take even a second to look them over. The Blindside book and movie exist to make the rich white people feel like the heroes in Michael Oher's story; Boy in the Striped Pajamas' author gets that the holocaust was wrong but not WHY it was wrong and so horrific; Emilia Perez comes from a Cis european trying to make the story of a transgender mexican crimelord work without actually respecting trans voices, Mexico and mexicans or the victims of cartel violence.

Damn, the more I find out about Michael Oher the more I realize how fictional the movie The Blind Side was. Wow this is quite disturbing. But I guess the real story wouldn’t have been that entertaining. He wasn’t homeless, he was playing football, basketball, and running track when he met the Tuohys. And……. it was the Father that met Oher, not the son. It’s theorized that they changed that in the movie so it would look less like a recruitment. It’s starting to look exactly like that when you think about it.

They portrayed him as a dummy who needed saving. When really in-spite of his circumstances, he was doing just fine and preparing for his future. The real story of Michael Oher is just as amazing as the fictional movie. I wished they had shown the truth and I wished this family genuinely loved and supported him.
