The Playground (2017)
Thought provoking with a nice pace
This movie kept me intrigued and really had me thinking. This is the type of movie that will stick with you as you make decisions throughout your life.
Rim of the World (2019)
Stop being so stuck up! Just watch the movie!
Fun movie! Definitely for the pre-teen and up crowd, and even if this move is not to be taken super serious, it does have some good quality undertones to it. It shows what's wrong with society today and how these 4 kids figured it all out by the end of the movie!
If you think about it, the racial undertones mostly came from adults who lived in a racially charged era such as the 80's and 90's and then a kid like Darrius is a product of that mentality. So for example Darrius admitted that much of why he acted the way he did is because that was all he knew. He was shown that he must live a certain type of lifestyle to be "accepted", and he never had real friends, but by the end of the movie he found out that superficial things really don't matter, and how invaluable it is to have true friends that like him for who he is.
Take Gin Gin. She left a life where she wasn't accepted because boys are more respected/valued in her culture. Come to find out she's bad a** and could out run a boy any day of the week. Just a few examples, of what gems you'll find if you watch the movie lightheartedly.
So moral of the review only let your older kids watch, have fun with it and don't be all in your feelings. The kids in this movie are supposed to be a reflection of the past and the present, and unless you live under a rock you can figure that out pretty fast. Stop being so stuck up! Enjoy!
