Several romances develop that are very sweet. Many of the main characters are LGBT and express themselves freely. Our Flag Means Death wears its sexuality on its sleeve. Too often queer folks have to deal with the bare minimum of representation in film and TV, or awkward stereotypes. It’s also incredibly gay, and I mean that in the best way possible. The first season (a second hasn’t been confirmed, but it feels almost certain to happen) has a total of 10 episodes and includes a stellar cast, a handful of fun cameos, and Taika Waititi as the infamous Blackbeard! With Our Flag Means Death, though, it was much more manageable. Lately I’ve been finding it difficult to binge shows, preferring the “one and done” format of movies. And unlike most shows these days, it’s a half-hour long instead of nearing the hour mark.
It’s frankly adorable, a perfect light-hearted show to help you wind down at the end of the day. Stede Bonnet, played by Rhys Darby, was a real person who gave up his life of luxury to become a pirate and the show is a fictional portrayal of the events that followed. I was delighted to be “back in my element”, as I grew up obsessed with pirates (remember the ninjas v. Lor Gislason: Like most people, I grew interested in Our Flag Means Death through word of mouth-I don’t remember any marketing for the show, just a cast announcement. If you’re as late to the party as me on Sicario I really encourage you to give it a watch. There are plenty of plot twists and cool action sequences to go with the intelligently crafted conflict. It’s also a visceral viewing experience.Īt times it is bloody and brutal, but even at the quietest moments, it creates such a feeling of foreboding that a scene of a boy bringing breakfast to his father filled me with dread. It is brilliant on a technical level, and a masterclass in story structure-I would recommend it on these grounds to others interested in screenwriting as a craft. Sicario had me gripped from beginning to end. I knew already that this 2015 thriller is highly acclaimed, but still it exceeded my expectations. Film Recommendation: SicarioĬhristopher Pilbeam: I’ve been crossing movies off my “should have seen this already” list, and this week my love of Emily Blunt led me towards Sicario. This week, Christopher checks out Sicario, Lor has been enjoying Our Flag Means Death, and Paul finds food for thought in The Investigation (Efterforskningen).
