Blitz

Damned by the curse of modern filmmaking.

I am not the only one who knows that McQueen has substituted modern day London, with its diverse population, with wartime London which was 99.9% white at the time.

There are many other problems with this production. The boy lead cannot act. The political messaging is constant and clumsy. Nearly Every scene shows a white person who is cruel, bigoted and incompetent. Whilst every poc is portrayed as kind, competent and considerate.

The film does make an attempt to capture the wartime atmosphere and the odd scene is informative, but it difficult to care about any of the characters with such a clunky script.

The film is also padded with song and dance numbers.

Not McQueen's finest.
