My black co-worker asked me today to reccomend him a white people movie, and he’d give me a black people movie.

At first I reccomended Live Die Repeat (also known as Edge of Tomorrow) then remembered Wes Anderson exists and said anything by him maybe.

He reccomended Salt and The Tourist. I intend to watch them on the weekend.

    It’s very white technically (cast), but its various messages speak more to class struggle and patriarchy which affect all the races, so I personally wouldn’t consider it a “white movie” in the same sense as some others in this thread.

      I never got any “antipatriarchal” vibes from Fight Club, maybe I should watch it again, lol. It did feel very “nihilistic anger and sadness that turns into violence”, it made me feel like I was listening to Papa Roach or Evanescence (which are as white as art can get, and I enjoy both just for the record, I had the CDs and everything!).
