A MAN CALLED OTTO

REVIEW OF MOVIE 
A MAN CALLED OTTO 

How to make a woke movie

I had read about how moviemakers are writing movies with woke themes in mind. Didn't realise the full extent of that till I saw this movie "A man called Otto".

The movie hit me hard with its cringeworthy wokeness. 

On the surface, it is a feelgood innocuous movie.

But this is how the scriptwriters went about it.

Want:

Wheelchair 
Crimes against the less able 
Sentiment
Check 

White man with one neighbour black family
Check

Bitter white man gets redemption due to immigrant  Mexican family,
Sentiment,
check

Woman is the savior,
Smarter than men,
Sentiment,
Check

Transgender 
Check

Transgender thrown out of his ( her, who knows) by dad, 
Golden hearted human being ,
Sentiment,
Check

Social media teenager fighting for rights,
Check

Evil all white builder / developers as villains,
Check

Weave everything together into feel good family drama,
Sentiment,
Check 

Watch the movie at your own peril. You may feel disgusted at the cruel, male, straight, able,  white dominated world,

Or you may feel disgusted at the woke kitsch being served up

One of the two is bound to happen
