Racist aspects ignored!

Rating: 5/10 (12 April 2018)

This could have been a lovely,imagematic film, a poetic love story, an eerie Princess Bride, but Guillermo Del Toro once again offends the audience with contrivances just to shock and dismay with obvious racist tendencies everyone in Hollywood seemed to ignore. What did the Pie seller, a Blonde,buff, alpha male, have to do with the plot? Why did he cruelly refuse to serve his pie to the lovely African American couple, and ,again, what did this have to do with the plot? And why was he a homophobe? What did that have to do with the plot? And why was the most despicable,cruel character reading The Power of Positive Thinking? Del Toro is no Ang!!! Brokeback Mountain was a poignant, honest, brilliant film. You can promote an inclusive society with art, I agree, and show prejudice in our culture in art, also, but just tossing into the story bits and pieces of disgusting and contrived behavior is insulting. Shame on you, Guillermo.
