i’m far more concerned about the well-being of fictional characters than my own

Day 4: still no stranger things season 2

I took my father to see Rogue One today. I’ve wanted to take him for a while. I wanted my Mexican father, with his thick Mexican accent, to experience what it was like to see a hero in a blockbuster film, speak the way he does. And although I wasn’t sure if it was going to resonate with him, I took him anyway. When Diego Luna’s character came on screen and started speaking, my dad nudged me and said, “he has a heavy accent.” I was like, “Yup.” When the film was over and we were walking to the car, he turns to me and says, “did you notice that he had an accent?” And I said, “Yeah dad, just like yours.” Then my dad asked me if the film had made a lot of money. I told him it was the second highest grossing film of 2016 despite it only being out for 18 days in 2016 (since new year just came around). He then asked me if people liked the film, I told him that it had a huge following online and great reviews. He then asked me why Diego Luna hadn’t changed his accent and I told him that Diego has openly talked about keeping his accent and how proud he is of it. And my dad was silent for a while and then he said, “And he was a main character.” And I said, “He was.” And my dad was so happy. As we drove home he started telling me about other Mexican actors that he thinks should be in movies in America. Representation matters.

this is your daily reminder to watch 3% on netflix because this show iS REALLY GOOD AND DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION

“We grew up on the same block.”

seriously guys, just watch 3% on netflix!

it’s the first brazilian show produced by netflix and it needs some recognition bc:

- DIVERSE CHARACTERS!!! i’m not kidding, there are so many different storylines and people and just fucsjsk watch it now - good plot! - good acting! - good cinematography! - blurred lines between good and bad (i mean, there’s not just only the Big Bad Guy™ and the main character, they all have their motives and it’s just great) - addresses issues like mental health and disability (not just on the sidelines like most shows!! main characters guys!!) - really cool things about our society in general and what it may become

i mean, i see people complaining about tv shows not being diverse enough or not portraying people in a realistic way but when shows like this one air, they just get ignored so…. yeah! watch it!

Guys, pals, my dudes. Do yourself a favor and watch 3% on Netflix. It’s up since 25th November so probably not much have heard about it. But it’s so fucking good.

It’s Netflix first brazilian show and it’s great.

“The show is set in a future wherein people are given a chance to go to the "better side” of a world divided between progress and affluence in the Offshore, and devastation and poverty in the Inland, but only 3% of the candidates succeed.“

I want you guys to watch the crap out of it and show that shows not made in the UK or the US are fucking amazing too because this show clearly is!

It’s also pretty dark so be aware of that.

PLEASE WATCH 3%! I just binge watched it last night and it is so good!
