The Last Supper 2025
pretty sure you get automatically sentenced to Hell if you make a movie about Jesus and use A.I. generated scenery and landscape shots in it. I'm sure it's also a sin to make movies starring a white Jesus, but somehow, the A.I. thing is even more offensive to me.

Black Orpheus 1959
It's vibrant and beautiful, but it's also obvious why the film's portrayal of poor Black Brazilians has been criticized as paternalistic, childlike, and mindlessly hedonistic. White French director Marcel Camus seemed to have little interest in Brazil or its people outside of how they could add an exotic flavor to his modernized Greek myth.
Also, Mira deserved better.
