hi guess whos goin 2 see the coyote vs acme movie tmrw :33 ill send over my thoughts here tomorrow when im done with it!!!
disclaimer; i have the media literacy of a 5 year old the first time i watch a movie. usually takes me a few days before turning the gears and actually figuring out the movie. if ur wanting a detailed review this is NOT the place broski
OKAYYY i got to watch it. heres my thoughts (copy & pasted from me yapping to it to oomfs)
okay so. In my opinion, the theme of the movie was to express and depict how people of color are so underrepresented in court cases. Theres still systemic racism TO THIS DAY. The cartoons were the people of color. They felt the obligation to stay silent to racism due to it never being taken seriously in court and judges always taking the white persons side. THATS why it said “based on a true story” BECAUSE ITS BASED OFF OF THOUSANDS OF POCS STORIES EVERY SINGLE DAY. White people get murdered and mistreated and its the top story and the people behind it ger punished. But the MOMENT that happens to a poc everyone is silent. Thats why, the best way to depict this moral WAS the coyote. Because the coyote could only ever speak in signs (and very limidedly) because PEOPLE OF COLOR DONT GET THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT THEIR ISSUES WITHOUT BEING OVERSHADOWED BY A WHITE PERSON!! That is why it was MANDATORY for the roadrunner to come. The roadrunner represents a person of color that, even though they are frequently silenced or overruled, still uses their voice to speak up for others who feel like they cant.
THAT IS ALSO WHY ITS GETTING ANNOYING THAT PEOPLE ONLY SEE THE MOVIE AS YAOI. THEIR SHOWING THE ISSUE AND THEME OF THIS MOVIE RIGHT AT YOUR FACE AND YOU IGNORE IT FOR YOUR “RIVAL YAOI” WHEN ITS SO. MUCH. MORE. look, i love roadrage as much as the next guy. But can we PLEASE LOOK AT LEAST A BIT DEEPER INTO THE STORY AND HOW IT SHOWCASES REAL WORLD PROBLEMS???
And THATS WHY THE ENDING WAS THE BEST FUCKING THING EVER. IT SHOWED A WORLD WE COULD POSSIBLY BE. IT COULD SHOW A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE OF COLOR ARENT AFRAID TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THEIR ISSUES!! IT WAS THE PERFECT ENDING!! And aside from the coyote plan at the end being just harlaious. IT SHOWCASED A PERSON OF COLOR HAVING A VOICE. EVEN IF WILE DOESNT HAVE AN ACTUAL VOICE. HIS ACTIONS SPEAK ALL FOR IT!! HE GETS HIS TURN TO SPEAK UP FOR HIMSELF!!!
As for foghorn leghorn. I believe he is to represent corrupt poc CEOs. Specifically ones that become so desensitized to the violence and racism as “just for money” bc society treats poc as less than white people. So eventually if you feel pressured to follow public eye (of racism) then YOU TO BECOME RACIST AND IGNORANT YOURSELF
As for roadrunner. Ohmygod i loved their part so much its undescribable. I specifically loved the scene where acme was tryna trap him. But he looked straight at the camera. And BOLTED THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. He is NOT naive (even if he acts like he is.) and when he defended coyote in court? OUUUGH. THAT WAS THE SHIT BRO. Absolute cinema i tell u
if ure curious my top 3 favs r roadrunner, paige, and wile
