One of the most important films of the decade. Layers and layers of political metaphor but ultimately a rallying cry for the liberation of the global south.
Also it’s beautifully animated. Like stunning.
I think about how my grandma grew up in rural China with 8 sisters and now that she’s almost 90, she gets to see the development of her country to this extent. All in her lifetime.
Affected racist bullshit. Doesn’t have anything meaningful to say about love and loneliness. Yeah, you’d be lonely if you were an entitled white prick visiting a foreign country and treating its citizens as spectacles/less-than/unworthy for you to learn their language at all (all the while mocking them for speaking more languages than your sorry monolingual ass). Give me back the 110 minutes; I’d use it on something other than watching a pretentious white woman’s “truth” and attempts to force chemistry…
