saying white people are bad but not cleverly writing or showing in visual form how they’re bad doesn’t mean its symbolic, it just means you’re not a good writer.
Get Out already did symbolism perfectly and subtly with this
And Hidden Figures said white people bad overtly perfectly in this.
This movie added nothing to that conversation and the vampires were run of the mill, ulterior motive seeking, promises of a new life, etc etc. If people want to turn that into nah nah Ryan is saying white people are like that too tho, you’re free to think that but the
writing didn’t present the characters as
that.
Chinese people owning a store that black folk do business in wasn’t symbolic it was just a store Chinese people owned and black people did business in. It wasn’t
written with a symbolic gesture or even shown in one.
The twin shooting another black man in the ass could be seen as a symbolic statement that we don’t trust each other and the white man got us pitted against each other. Nah that was just a gangsta showcasing to not fukk with him. Again writing and direction matter.
