After 20 years in the Army, Master Sergeant Amiah Sale’s future hangs in the balance.

The Trump administration has made it a mission to purge all transgender service members from the military, but as the trans military ban makes its way through the courts, some service members, like Sale, are spending their days in limbo.

      This scene raises my heart rate so bad. It’s wild knowing that you could show this to some people and have them decide that they want to be in his place.

        There’s always a chunk of people who want to be the boot. And a chunk of people who are happy to eat boots if they can be the boot sometimes.

        There do exist some people who want that power fantasy, as once the law cease to exist, wield assault rifles as the symbol of their power, feeling they can determine the fate of anyone they capture or run into.

          When my friends and I went to the big march after Renee Good was murdered I had the opening song, Lovefingers by Silver Apples, stuck in my head the whole time. Afterward we went back to my house and watched the movie. The next morning I woke up to the news that they murdered Alex Pretti. It’s a good movie, but I hate how relevant that movie is.

          I avoid watching this film for the same reason that I’ve avoided watching Idiocracy, Don’t Look Up, and Black Mirror; it will just make me suicidally depressed because it’s just getting closer and closer to real life.

          Civil war. I think it was divisive cause it didn’t really make any political statement. Just showed a take on a modern day civil war.

          I loved the vibe of it I think. And the direction of the IRL world feels genuinely represented in this movie. It was a ride. Plus I love everything Kirsten Dunst is in basically.

            I loved everything about the movie except Kirsten Dunst. I have nothing against her personally, but in this movie she looked like she was just reciting lines, no acting involved. I know she was supposed to be this tired, jaded character but to me she overdid it and landed on plain boring.

            It looks good, but I can’t bring myself to watch it. It’s far too close to today.
