If that's to edgy, maybe watch Zootopia on Netflix as a gateway drug of sorts. Moonlight definitely isn't going to unracist anyone. Not really the point of the movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think it's possible (Jaws made some people afraid to go in the water for a while, Psycho made some people afraid to go in the shower), it's an extremely hard thing to do, especially in the political climate nowadays.

Jake Gittes Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just now, cannastop said: Can any movie change people who are set in their ways? I don't think so. Depends on how set they are and how willing they are to engage. Age too. I don't think a movie can cause someone to have an instant epiphany but it can get some thoughts going which might develop into something later. I definitely credit some movies and TV shows I saw over the years with helping me get out of my teenage misanthrope phase and making me less judgmental towards people in general. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Cinema was/is still a powerful medium used as a propaganda tool for a reason... As it can plant beliefs, reinforce your beliefs, it can challenge them, put them into perspective, casually reconsider them, nuance or reject them.

It Follows, The Witch, The Babadook, Green Room, The Wailing, The Love Witch, Under the Shadow, Demon, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night...a few others, too. It's a veritable horror renaissance out there. Don't Breathe, Conjuring 1 and 2, Ouija 2 all scored in the 80s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This has quietly gone from "One of the better reviewed horror movies in recent memory" to "One of the better reviewed major releases of modern times" in the span of a couple of days. I'm letting myself get too excited. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franfar Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 These reviews would be great for most movies. But for horror..... Maybe a 3.5x multi is on the cards. This will transcend the horror genre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
