AFI 2018: film #1
“the law is wrong”
i’m growing tired of the same cookie cutter way of making biopics. this isn’t really a bad movie, but the second half lags a lot and it feels really simplistic in a dull way. given a choice, i’d choose the rbg documentary that came out earlier this year
edit: they say the phrase “on the basis of sex” at LEAST 7 times. i counted. it was a lot -
rbg went to harvard, also went to her husband's lessons whilst he was sick, and raised a child all at the same time and i can't even remember the order of the alphabet without singing the song

"it's not a privilege, it is a cage, and these laws are the fucking BARS, motherfucker"
reader, i regret to inform you this is one weird-ass biopic. i present the strangest moments, ranked:
1. in his first scene, justin theroux dances around the aclu, slapping his knees as he at length performs a (self-written?) song entitled, i fuck you not, "i'm a nut"
2. felicity's brooklyn accent is just her normal british accent but while pretending her jaw's been wired shut
3. felicity and armie hammer's foreplay is just them fetishizing their height difference with sweet nothings like "you're so short" and "why don't you come down here"
[a/n: i would do the exact same thing were i married to armie hammer]

armie hammer: because we’re gentlemen of harvard!!!
felicity jones: uhhh wrong movie bruh
-
they finally released the other armie hammer and turns out he’s a second wave feminist
-
A flawed but good biopic of an extraordinary woman. I hope Ruth Bader Ginsburg lives long enough to see the end of Donald Trump’s horrific presidency. We need her to outlive it.

well folks, we did it. sexism is over! congratulations to everyone on their hard work
