TRANS RIGHTS MATTER!!!
I am a full on supporter and an ally of the trans community, but this movie is absolutely atrocious. What a terrible, terrible movie. The trans community deserves better.
Seriously. Just because the topic is about transgender people doesn't mean we have to literally like every piece of media about the topic. It would be like making a movie about 9/11. It can be done in a tasteful manner, but nobody would think making a musical about 9/11 would be a good idea. Same thing here. I hate that it is getting awards, because I have to think it's only because of the subject matter.
I agree with you as someone who supports trans peeps myself
Latinos cheering for 'I'm Still Here' directed by Walter Salles
"I'm Still Here" and Fernanda Torres deserve Oscar recognition! With the resurgence of authoritarianism worldwide, this film's powerful story of resistance against dictatorship is more relevant than ever. It serves as a crucial reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of fighting for human rights and justice. The film's exceptional script provides a compelling narrative, while the masterful direction brings the story to life with impactful visuals and emotional depth. Fernanda Torres delivers a nuanced and complex performance, capturing the strength, vulnerability, and unwavering determination of a woman facing unimaginable challenges. Her portrayal is both captivating and deeply moving, resonating with audiences on a profound level. "I'm Still Here" is not just a film; it's a powerful testament to the human spirit and a call to action against oppression, making it a crucial and compelling cinematic experience that deserves to be celebrated.
The movie is about a narcissistic person, a ruthless killer, portrayed as a victim, because he/she is Trans.
I hate to say it but, being trans doesn’t automatically make you a good person
the director clearly did not have any intention of portraying Mexican culture OR the cartel OR the trans experience in an artful, nuanced, and meaningful way. he has said himself that Spanish is "the language of developing countries and the poor" and for that reason alone i don't think this movie should have ever been made. it's as if he wanted to capitalize on Mexican cultural motifs without having any respect for Mexican history
Yeah, he just united everything the big awards like. It's like he was trying to prove a point that moves that check does boxes doesn't need to be actylually inclusive to win. (I think he proved by accident)
This movie honestly seems like a movie that the South Park creators, or someone like Stephen Crowder would've made to satirize progressive issues, or Oscar Bait movies. That's how badly it handles all its topics. It inadvertently mocks everything it purports to raise up.
I really think that if you are not hispanic you really can't understand why the acting is so bad (like, nothing they say makes sense) so i understand why if you are an english speaker it might sound decent to you. But also, the story is so bad, like... a narco that suddenly feels bad? Just cuz they are trans? Or is it because they are a woman? Cuz let me tell you, there are plenty of female narcos and they are ruthless. As a mexican, this movie is not even decent, it is just trash.
The director knew that the movie was bad and it will become very evident if the movie was completely in English. That’s the issue with this movie, the songs in English for a native speaker are so cringy and bad. The same happens with the songs in Spanish for native speakers (as me) they’re so bad, cringy and in general, the Spanish used in the whole movie is not how we talk in Mexico or even is grammatically correct.
They sing bad, the songs are bad, the rhythm of the movie is completely off, the actresses are giving the best effort with the material they have.
I’m Mexican and I’m fed up of other Mexicans being “offended” for everything. Hate the movie because it’s bad (because it is really bad) not because it offends you.
México made a film calles Johanne Sacreblu as an answer to this movie, theres a sub & explained version for non spanish speakers 😂
Not a good musical. If it wasnt a musical, i think it'd be more bearable.
I agree with you on that
Emilia Perez is just a bad joke. Really. What a horrible movie!
Considering the gangster wanted the BEST doctor for the surgery, How can the BEST DOCTOR of transition surgery be so opposite to it?
good point!
It is so insane that this film received 13noms and, without the current backlash, might win most of them...
Did you watch "I'm still here?" Could you do a review as well?
Zoe is not as the protagonist only for award season, in any movie sense she is the protagonist. But having a protagonist trans is good PR, plus zoe had more chance of winning without competing with Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres
People are really being negative about this movie, but I think it has the potential to be the next "Cats."
From a musical standpoint, it pisses me off that this movie which is being panned in Mexico received a whopping 13 Academy Award nominations, while another musical which was relatable, genuine, and heartfelt, 2021's 'Dear Evan Hansen' got snubbed.
Well, at least the substance got 5 major Oscar nominations ( and it’s gonna win at least actress and makeup)
I'M STILL HERE is the best movie (Oscar 2025)!!!
I'm still here is so much better
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it so much.
The doctor, however, was in trans phobic I thought. He didn’t wanna operate on a morally questionable patients, right?
I wish you would put it out the whole lyric about how the doctor would “be a better man” if he operated on Manitas… based on what the drug Lord showed her. So what the hell did he show her? You threatened her twice with a bag over her head!
Emilia Perez, In case you like this movie... ok. Agree, we all have different taste for films and then I would assume that you are not Mexican.
You want to talk about the facts, well, here are the facts:
*This movie only shows all the cliches about Mexican culture and use them/exploits them in the cheapest "Hollywood Representation" to show/display Mexican Culture/Society.
*There are Mariachi bands and dangerous streets in every city in Mexico, Yes... really ?
*This film is about Mexico and yet has no Mexican actors. Yes, no good actors in Mexico... really ?
*What is the best way to show Mexico's social problems ? Yes, a Narco Musical... really ?
*A film about a Mexican family and the mother does not speak Mexican spanish... really ?
*If you go to a restaurant or coffee shop in any city in Mexico, you will be kidnapped... really ?
*The songs in this movie have nothing to do with Mexican culture. Mexican singers... naahh.
I can't freaking understand why this movie has more Oscar nominations than Casablanca, The Lord of the Rings, Chicago, Titanic, The Revenant, Forrest Gump, Schindler's List ?
FYI TRUE STORY: The Mexican journalists and students of cinematography had scheduled a meeting with director Jacques Audiard at Cineteca Nacional located in Mexico City on January 14th, needless to say everybody was waiting for him and guess what... he canceled at the last minute.... COWARD.
Please talk about the facts, that's why most people in Mexico do not like this film. In short, this movie is stupidity at its finest.
The movie is bad because of the acting, the songs, they sing so bad, the Spanish used in the movie is soooooo terrible. But if someone doesn’t like the movie because “the representation” or because “people get offended” it’s pathetic.
Who thought this topic would make a good musical? What's next? A musical on the 9/11 terror attacks?
Mande by a french director with japanese actors. 😊
...we actually got it already. Google "Come from Away".
@@current9300 Which is a million times better and much more respectful that EP
John Wayne Gacy. The musical. Changing society is molesting and killing little boys as a clown. Changing lives. With Selena Gomez no less!😢
I personally think that theoretically speaking, I can see why the movie got the attention it did given both the unique mixture of genres as well as themes (the fact that trying to embrace yourself does not free one from karma of the past) and the 2 wins at Cannes Film Festival (including a joint Best Actress Cannes prize for Adriana Paz, Karla Sofia Gascon, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldana). I also simultaneously see the other side of the argument.
SIDE NOTE: Given the themes, it is rather fittingly ironic what has transpired the last couple of days regarding Karla Sofia Gascon as a result.
Its a musical so can be even baitier towards the Oscars.
Ngl I kinda enjoy it in a so-bad-it's-good way in the whole first half, but then it kinda went downhill and boring with the unearned, "redemption" arc. I thought the acting (me personally) is good all around, given the messy script that glosses over most of its subject matter. Is it the worst movie ever? No. But, the praise from critics is just ridiculous. It's basically a glorified soap opera.
Yes the first part has so much potential and then it just lost it lol. And completely agree, I don't hate it, but don't get how it's getting so much critical praise
@@everybodylovesrae_ Also Best Film Editing, Sound and Cinematography for THIS instead of The Substance??? It's just laughable how the Oscars are so out of touch at this point.
@ LITERALLY
9:54 I agree that it's odd that she was never concerned about the prejudice she may encounter, but her lack of relatability isn't much of an issue. Trans characters can be anything, whether mafia cartel whatever or a fabulous queen.
Oh, I wasn't saying she couldn't be a mafia cartel boss or that trans people in general couldn't be specific characters! I'm saying that if you're going to center a movie around transness then there should be a point to actually have the character experience it in a way most trans people relate to, or else it doesn't feel like a true depiction of the trans experience. And considering today's climate, I personally think it's important to show how you can overcome those common struggles trans people face. I also don't think every trans portrayal needs to be centered around the hardships, but considering this film alludes to the risks/struggles via her feeling the need to leave her family and fake her death, it seems relevant here.
yes and the lack of trans characters in most movies and series is an indication that nobody wants them in their entertainment, which is why trump won. People are tired of this woke stuff being handfisted in their modern media, the people had enough
@@Finozzi96 That’s a typical online perspective. For many people who aren’t glued to the internet all the time, they voted for him because they believed he’d lower the cost of living. But he won’t, and he lied to them. On top of that, there was a global anti-incumbent sentiment. The far-right media is trying to spin it as a backlash against "woke," but that's just ridiculous. Most everyday people either don't care about or don't even understand what that term means anymore, given how vague and overused it’s become. As for trans representation in films, Hollywood is just notoriously slow to adapt, regardless of whether there's demand for it or not.
@Finozzi96 Many people who aren’t constantly online voted for him thinking he would help reduce living costs, but he’s not going to do that. There’s also been a global trend of rejecting incumbents. Some media outlets are wrongly blaming it on "woke" culture, but for most people, that term doesn’t have much meaning anymore. When it comes to trans representation in films, Hollywood has always been slow to change, regardless of public demand.
@ see what we're not gonna do is be transphobic. Trump won cause we unfortunately have an epidemic of stupidity and bigotry, not because there's too many trans people in media.
great video, you're really funny
Realmente Emilia Perez e muito ruim.
Concordo com você
its an oscar nominee so how can it be bad
that's not how it works i fear
Have you seen Tree of Life? I'm sorry but sometimes they can get it wrong.
