Before this movie I was a special snowflake but this movie inspired me to finally cancel my netflix account
finally redemption for us snowflakes
I love this comment
dead
Someone on Twitter said “Purple Hearts is for the girlies with racist boyfriends.” and they were not wrong…
So glad we finally have representation for them
@@withcindy please review the final gambit
Ayeee i was the 666th like on this reply 🙌🙌
💀
Do you know the user who tweeted it??? I need to screenshot it for my IG 😂😭😭
it’s him saying ‘not every man you let into your life is a bad man you can’t trust’ after literally proving he is a bad man she cannot trust for me
LOL IKR???
Exactly 💯
Exactly what I said when I saw the scene with my father
"You really think every man is out to get you? F'ing snowflake 😒"
_Brick smashes through window_
"omg, what was that?"
"Okay. So you know how I said I needed to fake-marry you for money?"
I was so confused when he said this lol. The conflict wasn’t even about her having trust issues with men, she was mad because his past drug dealer just showed up at her mom’s house. Like sir where did this come from 😂
"This marriage is a fraud, you are not in love, so you will face legal repercussions from it" is something that's weirdly never said to husbands that abuse their wives.
Wait did he abuse her ?????????
@@cobaltblue5523 no?
@@cobaltblue5523 they weren't trying to imply he did
Say that louder!!! Legal system is so f-ed up.
But when has it ever been a law that you need to be in love to be married?
“I like how he teaches her to be less of a feminist and she teaches him how to taste seasoning” IM DEAD
😂😂😂
Because all a racist need is some seasoning in their lives. But at the same time, imagine living without seasoning? 🤔
@@crystaleefyffe1230how is he racist
@@blairmcbride5437did you not hear the racist undertones comments that he said to her about her and her mom’s ethnicity.
You know the fact that Solider Boy is a former junkie who took drugs for FUN and yet he wants to talk shit to a girl who needs drugs for SURVIVAL is the ultimate hypocrisy.
LOL RIGHT???
They wanted to make sure they depicted conservatives accurately.
@@firewolfandrewb makes perfect sense
Great point, well said
When u said Soldier boy i was genuinely confused for a whole minute cause why and how is the Boys related to this. Then I realised what you meant lol.
Male lead: "How do you think these women in Iraq feel!?"
They're being assaulted by American soldiers actually, thanks for asking.
It's actually really depressing how this idea that conservative men can change the way non-conservative women think is actually something a lot of them think. It's so predatory and gross, and also denies women's ability to think for ourselves. It's just another example of how men are treated as though they are superior to women and smarter than us.
So much this
It's the same for miss girlies who think they can change their racist boyfriends lol. I know guys. He's racist but he's really not that bad. He only say the n word behind black people's back.
YESS
Yeah. Keep your beliefs and I’ll keep mine. Tho I would hardly call him a normal conservative- I have conservative family members but he’s very far right it’s actually laughable. Just like she’s very far left
@@lunarialoonatic Ah the American perspective that anyone wanting equal rights is far left. Maybe take a look at politics in other countries, like Western European ones. Our right wing is about American center.
I love how they're both extremists- he's an army trump supporter and she thinks minorities deserve rights
Her radical beliefs were so outrageous !!
LMFAOOO
LOL you're so right 🤣
OMG, that's too good 🤣🤣
PLSSSS
makes me sad that the girl was so “woke” (and rightfully called out the dude’s crappy behaviour) yet she still ended up with him even though he didn’t even apologize 💀
The way they just decided to no longer talk about politics 💀
@@withcindy welp it’s somewhat realistic i guess 🥴🥴🥴
The lack of resolution of all that is so frustrating 😭💀
Yeah that’s what really bothered me about his character I’m like... get this republican out 💀💀
exactly like there's no redemption arc at all
The audacity of him to be like ‘I know your type you must drive a fancy car with daddies money’ when he literally stole his dads CORVETTE and sold that shit like????
LOL TRUUUUU he was a huge hypocrite
@@withcindy haven't you ever been a hypocrite once in your life or are you just the perfect human
@@lukefury8162 Id like to point out that two things can be true at once. I can dislike someone for lying and still lie. Besides this one contradiction isn’t what made people dislike him, it’s one among many things that people don’t like about him and that thus person pointed out.
@@lukefury8162 it’s bad writing. if she called him out for it, or if it was even mentioned at all that he was a hypocrite in the story, then it would make sense. people who lie or are hypocrites IRL are faced with the consequences of their actions, or at least are aware that they’re lying and feel bad about it or their lack of self awareness is a noticeable part of their character. it wasn’t well written.
what really hurts as a middle eastern person is them portraying the army as like a little quirky American summer camp when y’all brutalized and tortured my people and still do.
Yeah? Well your people have this bad little habit called "terrorism" in the US. Claiming we've brutalized and tortured your people and STILL DO is absolutely ridiculous. My country's men fought yours because your country has attacked the US's people. As a "middle eastern person" maybe you should open your eyes and get your dumb ass head outta the sand.
Literally!!! Fuck the army 🤢🤢😷😷
and then that line at 9:41 where he literally said he wanted to kill us because of our race 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Yeahhh!! The scene where they were acting all cute and wholesome with the kids playing ball made me sick. They've bombed, tortured, abused, and brutalized an entire generation of kids in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, and beyond, but then they pull this shit on us. Nothing disgusts me more than military propaganda.
Let's just burn this movie to the ground and the military
the way i thought this movie would be about the guy developing empathy towards the marginalized groups he actively supports to oppress but nope, the girl literally just stops caring about her beliefs and becomes a slight bigot herself 😭
her character development
Right???? That is a good movie with a good story
But that would have made the alt-right uncomfortable
That's what happens in almost every enemies to lovers / completely different people fall in love with each other movie. It's always the girl who changes for the man, rarely the opposite (and "he's not completely abusive anymore" doesn't count as change of character).
At this point, I'm just gonna reread Pride and prejudice
@@anonymous-zs9rn Pride & Prejudice is the standard and trendsetter and everything else fails to be even a cheapshit carbon copy of its beauty
I said it before in Kennie J.D.’s review of this movie and I’ll say it again: This film is not a romance, it’s a horror movie because I literally cannot think of anything more terrifying than having to marry a military dude/bigot whose beliefs disrespects my human rights to afford medication that I need to LIVE.
My nightmare in a movie
@sewer~rat Great minds think alike!😄
Hey there fellow biscuit!!
@@andromeda_2410 Hi space queen!🙋🏽♀️
What about marrying Clay Walsh from Old Fashioned?
I’ll say it again: ENEMIES TO LOVERS IS DONE RIGHT WHEN THERE IS AT LEAST MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN RIVALS (as in “Oh, you’re my a rival now because I acknowledge that you have talent and prowess in wielding swords, I can’t wait to fight you”)
Or if there's disrespect, it's either for a good (perceived) reason, or it's explicitly treated as a character flaw and the character learns better and changes throughout the course of the story. Pride and prejudice does this well, with darcy disrespecting Elizabeth because of his flaw, pride, and Elizabeth disrespecting him back because of his earlier behaviour and her own flaw, prejudice. And they both grow and learn from it, they start to respect each other and it's actually believable when they start falling in love. But very few stories do this well, most of them either have no reason for conflict or the reason is way too big (bullying, abuse, bigotry, even just completely different ideals) that it's extremely difficult to make the change from enemies to lovers seem organic and realistic to the characters.
@@anonymous-zs9rn Yes! There’s gotta be some sort of mutual character development involved (for this movie, it was one sided and it was awful).
Enemies to lovers trope also only works when their is significant character development and without bulling each other or power imbalance. This movie just failed miserably.
can y'all recommend me some good enemies to lovers movies/series/books/anything 😭
@@kageyama4510 The Percy Jackson series- edit: Deadass, that started my fixation on the enemies to lovers trope.
the actors are absolutely FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES to make this terrible plot work and i respect them for that
Frrr lol truly the only thing I appreciate from this movie
Frr
Sofia Carson (the main actress) was actually the one who came up with this plot (I think I heard) and guess what, the idea was conceptualised in 2016, the election year
@@aminaa5824I thought Purple Hearts was originally like a book?
@@aminaa5824it’s adapted from a novel by the same title by Tess Wakefield.
my favorite thing about this movie is everyone talking about her hair tucked into her shirt instead of the literal racism
Racism we can understand. The tucked hair though? Indiscernible
@@withcindy this is like that Britta quote from Community 😭😂 you are britta
"We can excuse racism, but we can never excuse hair being tucked into your shirt" YOU CAN EXCUSE RACISM?
@@lesbiangoddess290 yessss Esther you get it! 😂❤️
Also it probably itched her while doing it
They killed Frankie because he was too nice and they knew people would like him better than the main dude
ugh RIP frankie
He was the sacrificial POC guy who exists to further the white guy's story.
@@withcindy They did Frankie dirty😭
except when he didn’t care about that comment that guy made at the brunch either :/
I knew they'd do that.... bc they lowkey always kill off the token Black person in movies 😩😭😮💨 so racist and weird
When we say Fuck Racists we doesn't mean literally fucking a racist 😂
I shouldn’t have laughed
@@lunarialoonatic but we did.
this had me dead
Lol😂the humor of your comment is off the chart!!!! Fuck racists!!!!
💀
Yall remeber the "Still a better Lovestory that twillight" meme ? Now I'm convinced that Twillught has a better lovestory than purple hearts
Yeah the "not a better love story than Twilight" list has been getting uncomfortably long in the last few years (Fifty Shades, After, Sex/Life, 365 Days) which probably contributed to that meme dying out.
@@bigbearkat2010 They really heard that phrase and took it as a challenge.
@@bigbearkat2010every time i read 365 days (the WORDS NOT THE BOOK) i can't help but sing the antfarm theme song
@@bigbearkat2010 Have people really been saying Fifty Shades is a better love story than Twilight lol??
@@the-ma-an better smut lol
Who even read for the plot???
Another thing I can’t get over is the fact that she was so strong in her beliefs and her friends/band like never questioned her sudden change
i guess they didnt care either lol
This is typical liberal stuff though. Liberal white women who are big on rights until they meet a hot guy who they get along with. Then they just "agree to disagree." Because liberals don't actually believe in human rights, they just think it would be "nicer" if people had them. If she really cared she'd never stop busting his balls about his disgusting beliefs even if she married him for health insurance.
"Why'd you become right wing?" "The D was real good" "Ok, fair 'nuff"
i think it's honestly a weak point in the plot and shows who wrote that just wanted to do something barely below the surface because it feels like she actually never sees anyone from her friends group at the end of the movie. And if we dig deeper this also happens with abusers isolating their partners to better manipulate them
The idea that she is marrying this man for his health insurance felt like the realist movie/ book plot I ever came across.
until she fell for him for real :(
They both needed money.. she wasn't the only one who married him for her own benefit so..
@@blending_in you really don't see the difference between marring bc you need medication (that by the way is either very cheap - less than 5$ in PPP - or entirely free in most other countries, including countries the USA military have bombed into oblivion) to save your life and bc you need money bc you are a former drug addict who is in a lot of debt to some cartels.
Lmao actually tho
I don't understand why their marriage was considered fake. Did they not get legally married? Like Cindy said a "real marriage" is just a legal one. You don't have to be in love to get married.
The American Government doesn’t want to dole out benefits based on marriages of convenience. They actually do investigate claims of marriages made under “false pretenses” - marriages where there were reasons other than love to get married.
Uhm seriously? If you're this gullible then u don't want to know how many fraud marriages n orchestrad as such been happening in Europe especially in Sweden to get citizenship. An uncle of mine did it with his wives cousin. They showed that he got divorced and married her cousin from abroad and God know what more fabricated documents for her to get and her kids citizenships..
@@silverstarfinder meanwhile the old rich guys who have zero interest in love and marry hot young girls have no problems. 🤦♀️
@@silverstarfinder Interesting. I didn't know that
@@sarasthoughts Exactly!!! Anyone with a brain can tell that that is also a marriage of convenience, but it's not vilified like a marriage of convenience for something like a green card is. I assume investigations don't happen in those scenarios just because the men are rich.
Something that I feel like isn’t being discussed is that the marine would NEVER marry her ass if she didn’t pass as well as she does. The story never would have happened if she was an indigenous Latina, or god forbid, a black woman
very true!!
Yeah like it seems to me the guy only fell for her because she's cishet, not of a minority religion, and white-presenting
If she had brown skin, if she were trans or bisexual, if she practiced Islam, nothing in this movie could've happened
I was looking for this comment! I totally agree and wondered why more people aren’t pointing this out 🥲
@@withcindy Really? I absolutely believe a racist dude would marry a Black woman if she looked like Meagan Good. He'd just still go on being racist; racism isn't logical, he wouldn't ever grapple with the duality of "loving" (being attracted to) a Black woman while also being racist. He'd definitely use it to justify his racism, actually: I can't be racist, I'm married to a Black woman. That's why it's okay for me to say the shit I say.
They made a black man say that to Arabs so the tiktok girls could speak for them like, "It's not racist cuz he wasn't a white guy!" lol!
Naurrrrrr 💀
Putting the racist shit in the mouth of a black character is a common Hollywood cheat.
If it was a white man, I’m sure a lot of people on the internet would be outraged and lecture about the whole “white male privilege” 😂
THATS what I’ve been saying like blk people can say racist things to other minority groups
Not white people since they invented the concept itself to benefit themselves
As an Iraqi woman, who lost many members of her family in the war (my uncle, his wife, two sons and many others, they were killed at their home) and heard about the way American soldiers raped and mistreated other women in my family. This movie was just disgusting to say the least, I immediately stopped watching after he mentioned "Iraqi women" so yeah 🙂
I mean srsly it's 2022 and the Americans still think the Iraqi war was a good thing and they were our savors 😍
Literally my reaction also, like the Iraq war was not a good thing, it was literally just American imperialism
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
seriously its so awful!!
SO TRUE his defense of hOw dO yOu tHinK tHe wOmEn iN IrAq fEel🙄🤢 like sir are you aware that they need to be protected from army people like you too???? Just ignorant American supremacist bullshit propaganda through and through
I’m so sorry
Hope you’re staying strong 💔
this girl's six month wait while he was in prison has NOTHING on what bella swan went thru when edward disappeared
as an arab girl i really don’t understand why they felt the need to bring us up here like cant we just live
I am convinced this was made by men to make themselves feel better about not being able to get all the ladies these days 'cause "everyone is a feminist now >:("
whatever works in their fantasy i guess

@@allysonrose4661 It almost reminds me of different erotica I have read. The difference being those were fetish pieces and not meant to be taken seriously..
outside of his horrible beliefs, literally nothing about the male lead's character is appealing at all. what did girlie see in him 😭
His face? Nah, not good enough.
Maybe she’s a fan of ACOTAR and he has a foot long dick?
@@virginiafernandez6846 ok because he was obviously attractive but you could find 20 of him in left leaning countries that aren’t republican or awful😭😭

The fact that people found it hot when luke told cassie to sit down after she called out the racist guy😭
THEY WHAT?
What? Gosh, it sounds like those people thrive off of misogyny and sexism.
We just making stuff up now?? Truly pathetic
@@lukefury8162 back when I found this movie, I looked it up on tiktok to see people's opinions about it, and there were several videos of them simping over that scene🤷♀
Argh that part.
Just imagining a superior timeline where this movie was a friends to lovers/fake marriage with her and Frankie, and instead of racist conservative military propaganda we got actual nuanced criticisms of the US gov/ healthcare system/ military. sigh.
As someone who is the daughter of a military man, them getting married after knowing each other for a week is the most believable part of this whole story lol
omg lol
As someone who served, I second this comment.
as a daughter of a military man too, well, my parents got married after meeting up 3 times
military men are the only men i seem to be able to attract despite being a flaming socialist & anti-fascist and it checks out. somehow i got out unmarried tho lol. maybe it’s because i didn’t just steamroll over my own beliefs unlike a certain character
@@maddiemainer yup, they’re trying to play out taming of the shrew with you, thankfully you didn’t cave in
Hearing about this movie as a non american is like watching an alien trying to learn sign language from watching Italians gesturing on a restaurant. It makes no fucking sense.
im embarrassed to be american lol
@@withcindy Girl, same 😔👎
@@withcindy ditto
As an italian, that’s so true
Trust me, it doesn't get much better with the needed cultural context. It gets so much worse.
"We can save your ass but we cant touch it?" ....yeah dude. You're supposedly fighting for freedom and liberty, why should it be a problem that an American woman doesnt want every dude on the street to grope her just because of their occupation? The lack of self awareness in these characters is weird even for a crappy "hallmark" flick.
"girl you're singing to a bunch of stoners at the beach, i'm not sure this is the right audience" 😭😭😭😭 Y'ALL PICK ME OFF THIS FLOOR
I love that she wrote a song that says "I hate the way I say words that I laughed at before" because, what words is she talking about? "I love you"? Or "blue lives matter"? Lol.
LOL NOOOOO
This slapped
I ACC CHOKED ON MY DRINK PLS
words are god bless you
😂
that one guy yelling about killing "ay-rabs" during his toast really set the tone for this entire movie huh??
He was so out of pocket and for what 💀
@@withcindy I swear to god, mfs consume every piece of media with smut regardless of how mindnumbingly stupid and ethically questionable they are
And luke didn't even call him out for that 😀
It pissed me off sm that Luke had the audacity to get mad when she called his friend out
@@kokos_antics it was so dumb
As an Iraqi woman I was just flattered that he cared about how I'd feel 🙄 what a considerate guy 🙄
No but srsly I was so shocked when that guy just out of the blue shouted he's gonna hunt me 😂😂😂 I was just chilling one afternoon and suddenly I'm being hunted 😂
The movie was just so many bad things but mainly stupid and racist and I'm utterly shocked so many people liked it 🤦🏻♀️
Don’t you get it? Genocide is cool when the Americans do it against Arabic people.
Seriously. I‘m wondering how Sofia felt about this comment in the script as she also has Arabic roots (Palestinian and Syrian roots if I can remember correctly)
came here right after watching red white and royal blue and the WHIPLASH o_O hes much happier as a gay prince really seemed like he was thriving there
I came here to say the EXACTT same thing i literally cannot believe it's the same guy playing these characters
Ok I will say a romance lead being accepted for playing both gay and straight, that's somewhat of a redemption.
Frankie dying for the sake of a “romance” plot that shouldn’t be happening makes me grateful to be aromantic
Aro gang aro gang!!
Fr tho this movie is a dumpster fire
its better this way
@@withcindy so much better
same, but I'm afraid for my life now
Nothing makes me happier to be aromantic than looking at romance
The real sacrifice was Cindy watching this for us, SHE'S a real trooper
braver than the US marines
@@withcindy where’s your medal of honor
@@withcindy Thank you for your service
@@withcindy thank you for your service
she should start a gofundme so we can all pay for her mental health after watching this trash movie for us 😂
I think if the concept was more "bigot marries liberal girl boss and they scam the government together, but then he goes away to war and has to confront the reality of his beliefs and develops empathy" would be a much better plot than "girl with too many solos changes her beliefs because the dick is good" but maybe that's just me.
(genuinely, I think there were elements here of a good story, but the execution was worse than I could've even imagined)
How did Sofia Carson go from being co-lead in a trilogy of Disney movies that dealt with inclusion and prejudice to this thing is beyond me
I'm crying in my Evie costume.
I mean she's just trying to get her bread... also you can't know how bad a movie is going to be, you're already hired once you see the script
@@resir9807 of course, no shame to her for just trying to get her bread, I was just pointing out the irony of this role being radically opposite to what she became famous for
@@aliceauditore4068 Oh my bad haha, haven't watched any of the movies but sounds like quite the whiplash
@@resir9807 No, you see the script before you sign on to the movie. She could've said no, but apparently she really loves this racist excuse of a movie lol
this movie is such a centrist fantasy... "why couldn't we just get along???"
If we just hugged and kissed then racism is cured 💜
That's an insult to centrists.
I'm a centrist and I was rooting for girlie to run the hell away from this man. I do not support this movie.
Because the right thinks I'm not a human being because I have a uterus.
seems like a right wing fantasy tbh
i’m not surprised frankie was killed off if i was in this movie i’d be begging to get out too
frankie take me with u
i knew frankie was a dead man walking the moment i saw him. rip brother
Oh that actor forsure worked wonders with his attorney to get him out as soon as he read the "kill all Arabs" line in his script, i just know it 😭
I've seen Nicholas Galitzine play a gay kid, a prince, this guy and soon a gay prince.... honestly, I'm pretty baffled by this.
I'm wondering how the writer's room read the synopsis of "girl marries an army man so she can afford insulin" and decided it didn't sound like a horror movie plot.
People do Enemies to Lovers so wrong. I be embarrassed to say it’s my favorite trope sometimes smh 🤦🏽♀️
It def doesn't work in modern day for this reason lol
Honestly, why is it so hard for people to create the nice tension that makes enemies to lovers so good without either side being toxic af or the whole relationship basically being based on abuse 😅
@@Anni_ka yesss
we grew up a realized that being hot doesn't make him calling you a bitch every 6 seconds feel any better. :,)
@@Anni_ka Ugh, this just happened to me. It was my first attempt at writing enemies to lovers and I was aiming for “charming but a bit of a jerk” and somehow landed on “trash bag of a person”, so now I have to go back and adjust everything.
as a middle eastern girlier i love it when military men act like we're not real people :)
But is it fine when men from your own culture do it
@@lukefury8162 i never said it was pookster
it's so hard to not be kinda disappointed in sofia cuz how tf do u go from a character like evie to This 😭😭😭
Why can’t we have an enemies to lovers story where the person isn’t downright abusive/hateful, people really can’t do the assignment right 😔
As a type 1 diabetic, it’s even more sad that marrying someone for good insurance is a life saving option 😭😭
sad country we live in :(
Or that his preferred political party is the reason she's in this situation in the first place.
@@mysteriiis Not to mention that said political party voted "no" to capping prices for insulin at $35. Because heaven forbid people don't go broke paying for their medication and health insurance companies aren't able to siphon every last cent out of consumers 😒
Please tell me as someone with type 1 diabetes. Do you really experience symptoms of high blood sugar? I’m a bit confused. As far as I know patients feel dizzy etc with low blood sugar, on the contrary, high levels go unnoticed (of course if sugar don’t rise to a hyperglycemic coma level). It looked like they had to exaggerate her state so we know that insulin is something she can’t live without
@@legal_drug_user I get shaky and dizzy and disoriented with low blood sugar, but there are very much symptoms of high blood sugar such as headache, extreme thirst, nausea, and frequent urination etc. as well that are super inconvenient too
someone on twt said that it’s called purple hearts bc she’s “blue” and he’s “red”…… no words 🥴
💀💀💀💀 bye
Oh my gOD that’s cursed 🤢
The ✨️cReAtIvItY✨️ --- 😭
That's better than the plot 💀
And the sad part is that that's still too clever for the rest of this movie.
1. she should've married her friend frankie
2. i can't believe conservative beliefs are STDs in this movie
3. i don't know how you managed to survive all these goddamn music montages but god my brain is melting just by seeing the recap
I love how the movie romanticises the dystopian nightmare that is the American healthcare system.
I remember seeing so many people loving this couple and it's the same people who think Tessa and harden and whatever Dakota Johnson's character is called and Gray's relationships are "goals". Frankly, it's dangerous and terrifying to see younger people and teens think that this is a healthy, loving relationship.
no thanks!!
Ana 😂 ew
@@tiffanykim2773 thank you! I completely forgot, and did not want dirty my search history by looking it up 😅😅
We keep romanticizing this this and then turn around and shocked pikachu when we here about cases of domestic abuse.
same goes for twilight
aside from this movie being a republican x liberal fanfic, and coming from an arab country, the “let’s hunt down some goddamn ✨AY-RABS✨” scene was very... *sigh*. i saw that specific scene on tiktok and i thought: surely people have been critical about this right? bc the main lead does not stand up to the racism of his peers. i check the tag, and apparently the girlies said fuck ay-rabs i’m more interested in the main lead YELLING at his gf to sit down and basically silencing her from speaking up 💀 the amount of “i'm sat” stitches i’ve seen to that scene is... concerning.
anyways, i didn't subject myself to watching this mess so cindy i salute your courage to sacrifice and watch it for our entertainment 😭
it was so baddddd
I was so surprised ppl were mostly focused on him telling her to sit down. It’s giving me “you can excuse racism?”
Their subconscious dom/sub kink is clouding their thoughts, but they are yet to realize that they even have that kink (if they ever do realize that) 😆
Yeah while I generally enjoyed this movie, the way that the male LI treats Sofia’s character is gross. And the complete turn around of Sofia’s character was weird.
This movie is like a bad written wattpad republican x democrat story from an uneducated high school girl. And I'm ashamed to say the girls on tiktok you mentioned sound like my cousin.
Who is the target audience for this? Women who need to reassure themselves that their racist bfs are not so bad... to them? Yikes. This looks way too halfassed.
yes, this comment 🙌🏻
"from military wife to prison wife" absolutely made me choke on my tea
I HATE that I predicted that Frankie would die because I so wanted to be wrong. It's always the main character's friend who is also POC 😭
SIGHHHH
The red white royal blue jokes are what's getting me thru this movie
cant wait for the adaptation to come out so i can react to it
@@withcindy yes im so excited for the movie adaptation rwrb has been my comfort book for like, 5 months now ?? and i'm litERALLY going to scream when i watch the movie for the first time
Can we talk about the fact that Sofia is half Arabic herself and she has to listen to these types of scripts????😭😭
She is???
Sofia wrote the script ... she was the producer
This sounds like something Colleen Hoover would write.
the biggest tragedy of this movie is that they had so much filler time they filled with this girl singing instead of actually talk about the issues they brought in the movie to pretend they are woke. Why did I suffer through this girlie almost dying or him saying her mother doesn't deserve any rights, if they didn't do shit about addressing them.
because everything can be cured with the power of pop music
Cuz this movie is literally the meme where a centrist is standing inbetween BLM and neo-nazi saying they should just meet in the middle.
And her voice is not even that good..like girlie is airy and nasally af
@@firewolfandrewb and the middle is just them being ok with killing and oppressing minorities
Because there is no real compromise here. That would require the guy to change enough to the point where, under the current conservative ideal, he wouldn't be conservative.
Why IS Sofia Carson defending this film SO HARD?! Like, girl, you CAN do better. From what I gathered, she isn't JUST Evie from 'Descendants', but maaaaan is she becoming more like her character's mom everyday.
Lol I actually looked through her social media after editing this out of curiosity and she seems to love this movie so much, it's kind of endearing actually. I wish I could support it with her but unfortunately it aint my thing
@@withcindy She's also reminding me of her ponysona from the 'MLP' film (Pipp Petals) that she was in last year. I know that she has a social media presence to uphold just like her character Princess Pipp, but I bet that she's starting to lose fans.
I've heard she was involved in the creation of the script... she was somehow involved in how they developed the story.
@@MonseBarrera13omg whyyyy
I think she had good intentions but it just didn’t work
OKAY THE RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE COMMENTS HAVE ME ROLLING
Same but sir Nicholas Galitzine has been it all gay kid prince and now ✨GAY PRINCE✨✨ like Cindy gonna have to watch it when it comes out
@@pam9919 YESS
"they were so close to solving both of their problems.. they both got screwed over by their country" dang why does cindy always hit the nail on the head 😭
My uncle is in the navy and I kid you not my aunt was sobbing her eyes out watching this movie and she wouldn't let me and her daughter leave the room bc she says it'll teach us an important lesson about love and sacrifice so we just sat there awkwardly while she balled her eyes out 💀
LOLLLLL i mean the movie is prob made for her so im glad she enjoyed it
LOL if my aunt made me watch this movie and asked me what did I thought of it I would just say "It's boring, can we watch some Marvel movie now"
@@arianahirsch1100 she actually asked me what i thought of it and i just said "yea, i'm fine being gay and lonely"
@@withcindy it was really made for her but the thing is she said its like her life in a movie which is funny bc they are both white 💀
@@bladder7278 omg ur pfp ASJHDIL mitsuki❤️❤️
“Technically isn’t any marriage legitimate if you sign the paper” Had me giggling from stress 😅 I recently immigrated to the US on a fiancé visa and the lengths you have to go to, to show your marriage is legitimate, that you’re in love, that you plan to be with your spouse forevermore is *intense*. How do you quantify love, you might ask? That’s a great question that I live in fear of getting wrong but also don’t really know how to answer. 😬
that sounds so stressful!!
@@withcindy Nothing says “I love you, honey” like 800 pages of documents 🙃
My husband went through this, years ago now. I'm a US citizen and he's from Thailand, and when we were told what we needed to do to "prove our love and marriage" well... Yeah it was A LOT. Like, "y'all need how much of what now????" It's crazy.
I wish you the best of luck.
In my country (Germany) the department of foreigners can send police to raid our home unannounced at any time to check if me and my partner are actually living as a couple 💜✌️ and didn't just get married for documentation
Thats so dumb lmao like mariage stopped being strictly about money not even 100 yrs ago.. in some places
“She’s gonna write songs about Ronald Regan now “ MADE ME CACKLE BYE
"Hey Frankie, you wanna hear something crazy?"
"No, let him rest in peace."
😂😂
why did the military boy even think it'd be a wise idea to tell the man he's in debt to the detailed plan on how he'll get his money cause that totally wasn't gonna come back and bite him in the ass-
LOL right and telling it to a drug dealer who's out to get him....??
As an arab, seeing that "let's go hunt arabs" clip floaring around was a special kind of experience loll
yes, i want to die, but at what cost?
And the dude who said it was Black
@@lisah3460 fr he's black like wtf
Switch the race into
Nazi soldier saying “Let’s go hunt Jews” and the film will be banned in an instant but since this is high and mighty America, Arabs lives are worthless for them.
Cindy please why are you so hilarious “that’s how you know when you’re really unwanted when someone risks deportation instead of marrying you” LITERAL TEARS 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the whole “if she overcomes the diabetes thing she’s set for life” girl I cannot 😭🤦♀️
This is one of my favorite lines of the whole video.
As a woman in iraq , this movie was def something. And we were def better off with military men like them coming in an committing mass war crimes, including many accounts of SA and murder lol
pls the ‘hunting down arabs’ took me OUT!!! how tf did this script get approved?? AND THE WAY THE MALE MC IS LITERALLY DEFENDING THAT COMMENT LIKE WTH
Like r we not gonna address that again or.....
He literally said, "Racism is what protects our country." Like- beau, we know 🤢
"damn the sound system at her concert is so good they can hear it in iraq" LMFAO i don't know why but this was just so perfectly delivered and hilarious
It’s absolutely disgusting how popular this movie is in my country. Thank you for speaking out about how problematic it is.
There are so many "opposites attract" and "enemies to lovers" couples Netflix could've done that are actually cute, realistic, relatable, and unoffensive to millions of people. Instead, they chose the one that involves romanticized bigotry. Round of applause for Netflix, my guys, gals, and nonbinary pals. /sarc
A cute opposites attract, enemies to lovers story I'd recommend (although they're not really 'enemies' so much as they couldn't get along) is Lunar New Love by Ophelia Silk.
It's a "fake dating trade-off", in which Minh asks Cass to be their fake partner for Tet Holiday. Cass agrees in the condition that they join her in another fake date the next day, to one up her shitty ex.
They're rocky acquaintances at first, part of the same friend group but not managing to mesh well, but over the book they grow closer and it's really cute. The story is about how people aren't "too hard" to love.
If it sweetens the deal, the book has:
Vietnamese rep (Minh is Vietnamese and a large part of the book centers around their Vietnamese family, culture, and tet holiday itself).
Nblnb (Minh is unlabeled, hovering somewhere around agender, and Cass is genderfluid)
Adhd rep (Minh has adhd, and it's referenced many times. It's partly responsible for them resolving to get a fake date, as well as playing a part in their main internal struggle (feeling like they're too complicated/hard to be loved))
Cass is a poet! And there's some bashing of France.
Very cute book, I'd reccomend!
@@moonstrifflimestone5493 Ooh, thank you for the recommendation! I'm not someone who searches out enemies to lovers/rivals to lovers/books akin to that, but all of the representation makes it super appealing. I'll definitely look into it!
You woke liberals are so unbearable🤣🤣 there's enough films out there that pander to your leftie beliefs
I saw this while browsing through Netflix with a friend and I told her, "This straight up looks like a propaganda film. I have no interest in watching it." Sad to say I was right...
it rly was military propaganda lol
i don't plan on seeing this movie for myself (protecting my arab peace) but knowing that sofia carson (cassie) worked on it as a producer and now seeing all the singing montages i'm wondering if it was all just a self-insert but also at what cost 😭
it’s so insulting when people say that wars in the Middle East are for women’s rights, what makes you think that war would creat an environment that’s safe for women? put aside the possibility of being killed by a soldier, the state of constant instability, lack of food, clothing and education, witnessing horrors everyday…etc produces an environment where women and children are more prone to abuse by fathers, husband and sons who are also suffering from great trauma, they turn their despair and helplessness on people weaker than them.
All of Sofia's call outs were so accurate and on point
Her character's 180 is DUMB
Also, everything about the guy sucks but him dismissing open racism as just blowing off steam was so?????? SIR????
he's just moody like that~
the "i can fix him" energy is real with this one
and she didnt even fix him LOL
@@withcindy yeah more like he "fixed" her
Ah, yeah, the good old compromise.
Her giving up everything she believed in, and him accepting that she did that in exchange.
Also love how he is the one heroically sacrificing himself when he got everything her needed out of the marriage already but she still needs him. She really has a lot of options left for her.
Like, speaking from a perspective of a diabetic if I was in her shoes, on one hand, if I had to marry this dude, I feel like I'd rather die; but on the other hand I might actually literally die if I don't get the medicine. This is a lose-lose situation and a horror story.
Fortunately I'm not from USA and I don't have to worry about insulin being so dang unfairly expensive.
Imo, Luke's storyline could've complimented Cassie's better. I mean, hers is steeped in commentary on the failures of the US health care system while he just owes money to someone.
There's missed potential to comment about issues like homeless vets and untreated PTSD. The movie could have commented on two major overlooked government failures, making their situations parallel/relfect each other better. I feel like it would have made for a more interesting dynamic between them; they would've found common ground in shared hardships and a common foe.
Or at the very least, they could've given Cassie a flawed personality that Luke positively influenced while she changed his political views and made him kinder.
the real enemy is the US of A
Yeah, and he could've had a paradigm shift in realizing that even if he loves and serves his country he's still treated terribly by the system
Reading this comment, I can say unequivocally that you are a better and more compassionate writer than the people who wrote this script
Maybe make her non-white
please someone make THIS movie
the fact that so many people are missing the fact that this is straight up military propaganda (apparently the U.S. military was involved in production?? need to find more sources),,,, and it's WORKING? the number of tiktok girlies saying "i may have to rethink my stance on military men"
as if that's wasn't the movie's goal in the first place 🤡
NOOOOOO THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT
US military is often involved with movies which depicts them. It's usually a I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine situation.
The military wants to make sure they are portrayed positively (or at least neutrally) and accurately, meanwhile the movie producers get to borrow assets, props and military consultants in exchange.
Imo it's most probable that the writers had already written a script which is very pro-military, then got the military involved after the fact.
How can this be working? I just found it funny/uncomfortable that it's military propaganda and yet it lent right in to all the negative stereotypes progressive people have about the military.
@@ktm9292 i hope movies show the negative "stereotypes" of the military. the military has caused so much harm and they continue to do so. they raped thousands of women in Iraq, assaulted Iraqi minors and killed a girl and her entire family. they also bombed an island in hawai'i until it was inhabitable and continue to occupy the islands to this day. why should we be grateful for them?
They wanting to rethink their stance based on THIS movie?! Is there a director's cut I'm not aware of that gave this guy any kind of redeeming qualities?
once you find out that this script was sent for approval to the PENTAGON it starts making so much sense
This really could have been a movie that worked if the roles were reversed. Imagine a man who joined the military because he really bought into the propoganda and the "save/protect America" line (think Captain America); when he gets injured it starts him off on the path of doubt and through the relationship with the liberal woman he learns the world is way more nuanced and actually figures out that other people matter and that the military industrial complex is a problem.
But instead it's a conservative man's dream.
Cindy reacting to questionable movies and questioning humanity is one of my favorite things to watch
You're a sadist I see
Same.
Girl same
Everyone said that this movie is so good but all the racist and especially anti-islam comments made me feel so sick. It had potential to give the guy some character development when he sees how the girl's life looks like as a minority and disabled person but no😣
he didnt even changeeeee
It's just singing montages + racism and sexism
What do people see in it???
it genuinely makes me so mad he never had a realization moment about life as a Latina and someone who is disabled. so many missed opportunities for real growth, like when she mentioned the police dont rush to that neighborhood and he just ignored her. like why tf bring up social commentary just to tip toe around the brink and not adress it 😭 😭
the range of this man, from playing a republican in the military to playing a gay prince who doesn’t want to go to the military
pretty amazing 😂
Based
girlie went from posting infographics on her instagram story level activism to full conservative
Quote of the Day: “I don’t how the women in Iraq will feel about this. We lost her so easily.”
the way they kinda just forgot about iraq for the rest of the movie
As Iraqi women I don't give f of any American want to save me from a mess I don't even know can they just care about their business
Watching this as a type 1 diabetic is torture because they don't even portray it accurately. She showed the symptoms for a low while treating a high, taking insulin with those symptoms would most likely lead to a quick death but they totally did their research right? Also very funny they pretend her likely pro military conservative fan base wouldn't dump her ass the second he got arrested.
the one positive rep they could have had wasnt even accurate LOL
THANK YOU BRO I WAS THINKING THAT TOO ;-; what the fuck were those high symptoms 😭
OMG yes! I'm also a T1 diabetic and that really annoyed me!
I watched tbis with the kids at work and we tore it apart. It honestly seemed like a fantasy of a conservative man who has a fantasy of taming a liberal woman. Also, the friend who said the horrible thing about Arab people was never called out. Also, the man thought pickled jalepenos were spicy
Also the timeline of the movie didn’t work like the first time the had sex, like where did that come from. She flip flops so Much. Also. He shatters his leg and her. He’s walking and a okay. Which maybe I’m reading it too deeply but I feel like that’s problematic. Like what is wrong with him having a permanent injury? Is it because becoming physically disabled isn’t aesthetic? But I am no doctor so maybe the timeline of his recovery is realistic
I guess vulnerability turns her on. Also we can go off on him. That’s justified. But she’s also going with it. She had sex with him . Super willingly. It was consensual. Tell me who you walk with, I’ll tell you who you are. Like, if you are friends or romantically involved with one on who is sexist or racist, or whatever, you can’t excuse them or act innocent
As someone who's SO just got out of the military, they would not care about a "fake" marriage. There were two guys in my partners squadron that literally married each other just for the benefits, and everyone knew and didn't care.
I am still 100% convinced Camilla Cabello was supposed to be in this movie but they couldn't get her so they got this other girl instead
they couldn't get her to be believably anti-racist
