I don’t like my movies+books super-realistic okay, so sue me.
If I wanted to watch a bunch of people get shot, I’d turn on the news. same if I wanted to hear about hate crimes and murder and arson and refugees seeking shelter and being denied.
you want the real Oscar-worthy display of human misery and suffering? look around.
sometimes you just want to watch a dang movie and not have to think about how terrible everything is.
