Film: The Many Saints of Newark 

I really wish there was an empirical way to study how film studios depict black characters post George Floyd. It's almost as if they portray every black character as the same person - good heart, victimized by the social structure, forced to do bad for the right reasons, and most importantly, cool. No flaws. No subconscious. No quirks. No humanity. And all movie reviews must praise the performance automatically. It's a template. 

If you want to see real black characters on TV, reality tv set on islands do a much better job. Love Island and F-Boy Island for starters.

I hate to beat up on the Sopranos film but it seems we've gotten a lot better at making trailers than movies.
