Today I blog about the sequel to Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, dead women talking, and Constantine. Despite great acting and wonderful special effects, there’s one scene that ruins this film for me. When a Mexican laborer accidentally finds the object the entire film revolves around, he takes it to Los Angeles, crossing the border into the US to do so. Thanks to the evil power of the object, he leaves a trail of death and destruction behind him, but the sight of this Mexican man jumping a fence to enter the US and crossing a plain while cattle drop dead all around him exemplifies viscerally racist fantasies of the immigrant as a source of contagion in a completely uncritical fashion. Ironically, a deleted scene from the movie shows the same man killing two border patrol agents, but what director Francis Lawrence left in is just as egregious. fiftyfiftyandamovie.blogspot/2014/01/hollowcitydeadwomentalkingconstantine.html
