Why give Ken a hard time if he learned his lesson

This is mine "True Romance" A Senryū (川柳) for Matthew Fromm's Film Critique Challenge https://vocal.media/poets/true-romance-g61u102fg?via=mike
This is way too fun! I still haven't seen Barbie but now your critique has me extra intrigued, lol!!
I've still not watched Barbie 😅 But it's on my watchlist. Loved your Senryu!
Ha! Nice challenge! I still haven't seen Barbie. Planned on the drive-in one night and of course it rained. Maybe time to see what the hoopla is all about!
Here's my entry (maybe the first one, maybe the last one, who knows, lol)! This was fun, thanks for the inspiration :) https://vocal.media/poets/wednesday-wy28s0hhn
Nice critique! I admit that Ken got off too easily, but I still love the movie nonetheless. There are a lot of complexities regarding Ken being a product of the system that he was forced into that make his outcome a little more of a grey area, but it’s a bit too much to discuss in a small comment section—or a senryu. Here’s my attempt at a senryu critique for the movie Joy Ride: https://vocal.media/poets/joy-ride-lh8af0hrw
Good short movie critique , I will do one for you this week, though we are running a challenge in VSS if you fancy dropping in on that
I've yet to see the movie, but can tell from your review that it wasn't at all what I thought it might be.
This is amazing!! Love your humour, and yes, I agree, he did indeed!! 😅 Loved the film though, glad you like it too x
He did, though, didnt he?
Meh, I think that the film is missing a big point of plot conflict.
Love this!!! Fabulous critique!!!♥️♥️💕
Sounds great Matthew!!!
