white Americans dying on the hill of defending the politics of Oppenheimer as a film is so embarrassing to me
They’re all being like “making a movie about something doesn’t glorify it” and no it doesn’t do so inherently but a Christopher Nolan Hollywood biopic starring cillian Murphy fucking the blonde bombshell of the hour on screen kind of does lol
And like yea criticism that it doesn’t include a Japanese perspective might not be the right angle to bring critique but obviously the center of that critique isn’t “they should’ve done random cuts to Japan” it’s “a Hollywood movie starring twenty modern beloved sex symbols which goes to great length to dwell on and explore the hurt feelings, loves, and dreams of the people responsible for one of the United states’ greatest atrocities is in poor taste”
so i finished playing luke's sweet chapter 2 story and i Really liked it, made me emo as hell and i love how it showed luke's fears about his condition and his more emotional fears on hopelessness, and yet it wrapped up so tenderly and hopefully and THAT made me notice that........
luke's sweet chapter 2 story -> shows a luke becoming frustrated with the lack of leads regarding his illness
main story 9 -> ALSO shows a luke becoming frustrated with the lack of leads regarding his illness
but in luke's sweet chapter 2 story -> this frustration generally manifests in a much....softer and vulnerable way, in comparison. his anxieties make him restless but overall makes him sullen and withdrawn, unwilling (at first) to make mc experience the same negative feelings hes experiencing. he hides a bit behind his smile, but he doesnt run. and moreover, this entire exchange piqued my interest cuz of one key fact: hes able to recognize whats messing him up and....verbalize it to mc
which may not seem like much but it struck me. cuz he was able to TALK about it. TO mc.....
.....whereas in main story 9 -> luke's frustration manifested in a more aggressive and closed-off manner. due to uh, All The Other Plot Conflicts too, surely, but also at no point does he manage to 1) find the leads he wants NOR 2) clearly SAY to another person why it's messing him up so much.
which all just rlly goes to show
luke personal story timeline, still struggling but very much doing Better: w-who are you?
luke main story timeline: im you but without the self-awareness or support system or trust in others to either recognize or admit when im upset :(
