      I have nothing against Maddie Ziegler as a person (well, I didn't before she agreed to do this movie) but even before I understood why an abled actor playing this kind of role was problematic I would not have recommended her for this role

      She's a dancer, not an actor Her first big test of her acting ability should not be this wildly risky version of "becoming" someone else in a way that already offended a ton of people before they even saw it and is very likely to offend everyone else afterwards

      By today's standards they shouldn't have made Forrest Gump at all but I mean even in 1994 they knew this was a dicey thing to do and they cast Tom Hanks because he was a veteran actor they trusted to make it seem like a sensitive performance

      And Forest Gump, at least, is not actually handicapped in a way that is diagnosable, it's more a fairytail construct/device to make him a superhero absolved of greed, ambition, or malice. I mean still not great, but y'know.

      They don't say out loud what "Music's" disability is in the movie either but yeah this time it's very very obvious it maps onto autism I can't believe her name is literally "Music"

      That's what I mean, that it can be mapped. I have complicated feelings on Gump because it's a Boomer Fairytale but it's also like... effectively crafted. Some would say manipulative but that is craft, and it's quietly more cynical than it lets on.

      if they got rid of the Black Panther shit... that whole thing is the worst. Controversially I like the character of Jenny a lot. She's not demonized as much as just society demonizes her everytime she tries something.

      Whereas I don't think there seems to be anything even worth arguing about in Sia's movie. It looks like the classic problem of abstraction to cover lack of craft or understanding of people and life.

      It feels... a LOT like a corny idea for a music video that's been disastrously extended into a corny idea for a feature film

      Like it's a classic music video cliché, the weird dreamy character who doesn't speak observes some everyday scenario and translates it in their head into an elaborately choreographed dream sequence set to the song in their headphones

          Which, you know, whatever, fine But she felt the need to turn this into a whole story and establish that the daydreaming is because of a serious disability and have the Black mentor character directly lecture us that "she sees the world in a different way" Major cringe

          That's the part that made me think of tropic thunder the most. His exposition dump cracked me up.

          Right? It's very student film-y.
