The Movie Thread

[SCW]

The Phoenician Scheme by Wes Anderson was quite entertaining, I've enjoyed most of his films with his signature style.

A month ago, I rewatched American Me. A work of genius. It's about the Mexican mafia. A few people died because of it, so you know that Edward James Olmos touched a nerve. I recommend it.

It’s funny you mention that. Edward James Olmos had his life threatened over this film. They showed a lot of graphic male prison, rape, and that didn’t go over so well with the gangs.

It doesn’t shock me that there was fallout and other people getting killed over the film because yes, the male prison rape touched a few nerves with the Mexican gangs

I watched it on video in the early 90's when I was in junior high...yeah, it was pretty graphic...
