Disney's Pocahontas: A Problematic Portrayal. Content Warning.
Content Warning: Discussions of racism, cultrual appropriation and genocide against indigenous people. As a child, I was a big fan of Disney's animated films. My sister and I eagerly expected each new release, and our parents would always take us to the theater to see them. We also owned the VHS tapes and would watch them repeatedly. One of our favorites was Pocahontas, the first Disney film to feature an Indigenous princess as the main character. I loved the movie, the toys, and the soundtrack.

Wicked
So I have been waiting for the Wicked movie for a decade now. I have seen the show live three times and it has always been one of my favorite musicals. When the casting was released I was ecstatic for Cynthia Erivo to be Elphaba and cautiously optimistic for Ariana Grande to be Glinda. But now that I have seen the film I am happy to report that it exceeded any and all expectations that I thought I had. This movie could not have been better and I am going to spend the next few 100 words telling you why. Now this whole thing will be spoilers but the show has been around for decades now so this is really on you.

Ordinary Angels
Ordinary Angels came out earlier this year and it is very much on my Oscars watch list. From the second I saw this trailer I knew that this movie was going to cause me deep emotional issues. Both Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson were incredible casting choices and I know that I have Oscar opinions regarding this movie, but of course we also have the fact that this movie is based on a true story and the Academy loves that shit.
