- Similar to:
Is there a culture, anywhere in the world, whose adherents have no idea who they are and must waste their lives finding out; instead of living their lives to the full? Does White culture not provide this information from the get-go? - and when Whites have problems, does that culture not offer them any help?
The more interesting story here is the one not being told; what happens off‑screen when Cara DELEVINGNE is not to be seen - which, as it happens, is for most of the movie. Why did the screenwriters not tell that story? - the story of someone trying to find themselves? It is because they have nothing to say about it, because they do not understand the life they have not lived and, therefore, can have no meaningful insights into it. Who does understand anything they have not experienced, after all?
All of the characters are desperately alike one another; matching the personal uniformity one frequently sees with Whites, yet without any genuine dramatic exploration of their inner selves that would reveal any actual difference between them; leaving us with the queasy feeling that there really is no difference.
