Historical Traumas & Other Heavy Themes (Last of the Mohicans, 12 Years a Slave, & The Prestige)

The week on the pod, we watch some movies with heavy themes and some are difficult to watch in moments. Since we had both already seen The Prestige, we were looking forward to the rewatch to see if the film still holds up. While we couldn’t necessarily say anything negative about the acting or the look of the film, we didn’t think it hit as hard since we already knew the surprise twist at the end. Moving onto 12 Years a Slave made for the most difficult watch of the week. After watching, we certainly see why this movie was so acclaimed and love how the racial and historical themes are so important even if they’re difficult to see on screen. Lastly, we checked out Last of the Mohicans which is a classic that neither of us had seen. We really had to keep the time period this film was set in and the year it was filmed in mind when reflecting on this one! Both of these movies made us reflect on the history lessons we were taught in school and how much we were missing.

In other news, we discussed some new trailers that dropped for The Roses, Eddington, and One Battle After Another. Hannah also talked about some recent podcast episodes she caught up on this week and her rewatch of Ghost World.
