This movie claims to be a "coming of age" movie, but it focuses more on showcasing the nudity of the 15 year old character and showing her having sex in multiple scenes, as well as engaging in prostitution. Plus, there were multiple scenes of her using drugs. Cartoons are integrated into the movie in various scenes, likely to make the film more appealing to children.

Even if this movie was based on real person, it was completely unnecessary to glorify the sexual encounters of an underage girl in the scenes. Reminder: this movie is viewed for entertainment purposes. Who were they really trying to entertain? They could have made the main character 18 yrs old without changing the movie, but chose instead to make her 15. It doesn't matter that the actress who played the 15 year old was in her early 20s at the time, that was a given.

Those responsible for shifting the Overton window the wrong direction for the past 50 years are at it once again in this attempt to normalize inappropriate sexual relationships (read: pedophilia).

Everyone in this movie catches the "white sickness" which is basically blindness. I'm certain someone in Hollywood was extremely happy they came up the idea to put those two words together.

This movie felt more like an instruction manual of how they want us to behave when there is a pandemic, such as: comply fully with each and every government order, behave in a submissive manner, allow others to take advantage of us to the point that you will do >anything< they say, only resist and fight back as the very last possible resort (after you've already allowed yourself to be treated like animals). This movie was released in 2008, so they were likely planting the seeds -- along with other pandemic movies that were released. The behavior of some of the characters was absurd and definitely took away from the entertainment value.

This movie is somewhat interesting if you watch movies more for their underlying messages than what the movie pretends to be doing. If you haven't a clue what I'm talking about, then please ask someone who does understand to enlighten you.

One must always examine the underlying messages/symbolism of anything Hollywood produces, as they are typically pushing agendas and preparing people for situations that they intend to put us in. Once you start to see it, you can no longer ignore it. It's almost as stark as seeing the messages with special sunglasses in They Live.

This movie has about $5,000 worth of special effects, if that. The casting is horrible, and the acting is just as bad. The movie takes place in an alternate earth, where America somehow became a Communist country. I'm sure that was somehow a political jab given the accusations flying about at the time this was released.

The plot developed slowly and was tedious to watch. It was basically a Blade Runner clone only with no money. Sci-Fi is my favorite genre, and I can overlook a lot of things if the plot causes one to think. The only thing I was thinking about was shutting the movie off.

This movie was essentially "The Mist" with invisible monsters (evil force) that people can't look at (or they'll kill themselves), and a happier ending. The movie focuses jumps back and forth between when the evil force first arrives, and years later dealing with the destruction of society.

As per usual for films in this age, it's anti-white male message was pushed on the viewer from the get-go, and most folks won't even realize it when watching. The white male characters are either uncaring a-holes, selfish drug dealers, or infected by the evil, while the roles of all the POC are that of morally good people who do heroic acts of upstanding character. Also, it wouldn't be a modern-day movie if the script didn't include an interracial relationship between a white female and a black male. This aspect was totally unnecessary for the plot, and they could have used a white couple (or a POC couple) without taking away roles from other groups. POC were already overrepresented in the movie.

The acting in this movie was pretty good and it had potential, but cultural Marxism propaganda ruined this movie, plus the fact they kept the evil force a complete mystery. The only things folks learn about it is you can't look at it, and for some reason it can't come indoors. They don't even show what the force is (likely to save money) other than swirling leaves. I'm surprised anyone is talking about this movie, as it wasn't that good at all.

The group which controls Hollywood has long been trying to destroy cultural norms in America. This movie is yet another example of their desire to do so. The athletic white male boyfriend is demonized and made to appear inferior to a mentally & physically disabled male. That's wasn't enough as their goal was also to steer attractive white females to anyone but an attractive athletic white male -- even the mentally & physically handicapped.

This movie was a precursor to the current Hollywood trend of pairing white women with male POC, and also demonizing white males. Folks need to open their eyes and not allow themselves or their children to be brainwashed with movies like this that normalize relationships which fail at astronomically high rates.

At times Pumpkin felt like a 'B' horror flick as the over-acting and flow of the movie just didn't tie together. It would be one thing for an attractive person to have a relationship with a physically handicapped person, but pairing them with a mentally & physically handicapped person is just going too far, unless it was just a one-time sort of thing.

At one point the athletic boyfriend fights the disabled male, and the result and aftermath are predictable and not realistic. The ending was completely absurd. I'm surprised they didn't have a child together like they did in Forest Gump.

One of the movie channels had a free weekend awhile back and I DVRed it. I knew almost about it and had an open mind going in.

This movie is about a girl bringing her boyfriend home to meet the parents for the weekend. The catch is that the girl is white and her boyfriend is black. It became apparent from the beginning that their target audience was minorities and this was an anti-white film.

In this racially divisive time, it's sad to see a movie like this which attempts to widen the divide. All of the white people in the movie are portrayed as evil intent on stealing and living within the bodies of black folks. It's bad enough the girlfriend lures him to her parents, but it becomes clear near the end that she's lured in over a dozen or so other black boyfriends to have their bodies stolen.

While they are visiting the parents, the girl's mother hypnotizes Daniel Kaluuya's character and later uses that to subdue him. The girl's parents also have a party with almost all white folks, and they all act as if they've never seen a black person before. Daniel Kaluuya's character sees another black male at the party and tries to buddy up to him. The other black male is very polite & well spoken, but the movie mocks his behavior as well as his wardrobe. It was clear the hidden message they wanted to send was that black people acting like white folks, is creepy and wrong.

Although the whole cast did a a pretty good job acting, there's logic flaws in the script. For example, the girlfriend tells her boyfriend that she didn't tell her parents that he was black. While she could have been truthful (since she has always brought black boyfriends home), her intent was evil as she was luring him to his demise. Given that she dated him 3 months already her not telling a little lie to help lure him there was ridiculous.

Likewise, the goal was to transplant the white person's brain in the black person's body, but movie claims a little part of the black person still remains -- somehow tying into the hypnosis. This was just plain silly, and I'm surprised they didn't just come out and say that the white people were all possessed by demons and their evil spirits would transfer into the black person's body. As the whole movie essentially demonizes white people.

The ending is somewhat predictable given the message the movie is intent on delivering. The alternate ending is more realistic, but they apparently wanted a softer ending for minorities since they were the victims throughout the whole movie.

The fact that this is nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, shows how far Hollywood has fallen. This movie is anti-white propaganda with good acting. I'm just glad I didn't spend a dime on it.

This show is about the birth/growth of the personal computing and the internet. It revolves around the work of a handful of characters, mixed with their personal drama. Looking back I wish I hadn't watched this series at all. The characters keep striving to be on the cutting edge, but the viewer is never really given the satisfaction when they reach their goals. Their achievements are glossed over, and the viewer is left underwhelmed.

The acting was good, but I kept waiting for something notable to happen, and it never really did. The series had the typical Hollywood social engineering (anti-male & anti-nuclear family agenda). While it wasn't so blatant in the beginning, once you got to the end, you realize there was an agenda all along.

The best programmer, hardware engineer, and business people were women. All of the main male characters in the series were portrayed to be physically weak, mentally/emotionally weak, socially awkward, or failures. They even made the suave ladies' man character bisexual. There was no "average guy" character for male viewers to relate to.

The finale made it clear the whole series was about promoting women in the tech industry. Most of the women shed connections to men, including a daughter coming out of the closet. Plus, the finale had a long pro-female speech given to a large group of women. While I have no problem with strong female characters, there comes a point when it's pushed too far and it emasculates the male characters – and the show loses complete credibility as a result.
