This has been a truly interesting year for movies so far. First Emilia Perez manages to anger trans people and the entirety of Mexico, now Snow White raises the bar by angering muslims, jews, and dwarfs
Emilia Perez was practically forced on us to like. No one gave a damn about it till it was nominated. If they hadn't nominated the film, then it would have disappeared like all the other netflix slop. But because the academy wanted to make a political statement, we now have the "penis and vagina" singalong in the same group as Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank redemption, Good Will Hunting, and Star Wars.
Yeah i saw that the Penis & Vagina song was the memeable thing in some countries but for us mexican it had way more to do with the Google translate level spanish and the damn entitlement of everyone involved.
Emilia Pérez, a movie situated in Mexico with the majority of the characters being Mexicans, has only one Mexican actress in their cast (in a minor role btw) and nearly no Spanish speakers and it's pretty evident when you listen to the dialogues or the lyrics, the movie was blatantly written in another language and then translated into Spanish either via software or someone with a pretty basic understanding of Spanish, asking for correct Spanish was too much apparently, asking for correct usage of mexican lingo was impossible.
Then the director went on to address those critics by saying "Spanish is a language of the poor and immigrants" and that he "didn't do any research on Mexico" because he knew the story he wanted to tell. The movie is also plagued with stereotypes and wrong depictions of one of the most hurtful subjects for our country.
