The White Man's Burden...


I'm sorry but every single woman in this movie was 10x more compelling and well-rounded then this white kid, and yet the whole story revolved around him for some reason? It was like since he had a great life he had to leech off other people's pain/experiences in order to fEeL sOmEtHiNg. I'm so tired of this narrative! White men need to develop a personality or something instead of living through the disabled/poor, LGBT and divorcee women around them like sheesh. Even the alcoholic mother was a more interesting character in the .2 seconds she was on screen than this kid was the whole movie! Haven't we had enough of the manic pixie dream girl?

As a sidenote, the first half of the movie with him literally stalking her gave off "You" vibes and the only thing distinguishing it from horror was the soundtrack.

LOL

If you think this movie was somehow a commentary on white men then I think that says more about you than anything.

Lol clearly it wasn't the intention of the people who made the movie but for anyone viewing as a non-white-man it stands out pretty blatantly.
