FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/origin-venice-film-festival-review-a-must-see-educational-story/ "Origin brilliantly transposes the pillars of caste from Isabel Wilkerson's book to the big screen through an incredibly revealing, genuinely fascinating narrative, despite becoming clear that the source material is better suited to a documentary. The exceptionally human performances of the entire cast, especially Aunjanue Ellis, compensate for some lack of balance between emotionally personal dialogues and weighty lectures. Impactful imagery and an extremely stirring score …

The acting is all really quite adequate here, but it's not really that important to the fascinating underlying premiss that underpins the theory that race, in itself, might not be the reasons for the hierarchical nature of a society that always manages to create sub-classes. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor offers her own engaging perspective on author Isabel Wilkerson who is invited by a publisher to offer a more considered and less reactionary appraisal of race relations following the murder of a young black man who just happened to be in the wrong place (a white neighbourhood) at the wrong time.

While the picture indeed examines this practice from an Ame…

A missed opportunity. While I agree with the most but not everything that was stated in the movie, I can't understand why it failed to find obvious similarities to segregation based on religion. Am I the only one who sees forbidding marriage between religions the same as forbidding interracial marriagies? I think it was convenient to find funds for this movie in times of woke movement. The intentions of the author can be clearly seen by referring to tragic and catchy events such as the death of a convicted felon and local thug George Floyd as racially based and several other events while th…
