Netflix’s “The Devil All The Time”

[KaijuDude1992]

The cast for this is the main reason why I'm also looking forward to it, but the story also sounds pretty interesting to me as well and those pics look really good. Hopefully, this ends up being great and not just a good film, because it has so much potential IMO.

 

[Luigi]

Holy cow, talk about a stacked cast. Excited for this.

Noice.

 

[Kev4000]

Starpower! <3

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. This looks right up my alley.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Cast is alright. Maybe only two real standouts in terms of greatness. The story is more appealing than the cast tbh.

 

[Stringer]

Wow, what a diverse cast.

 

[Kev4000]

Wow, what a diverse cast.

Oh come on...

 

[Stringer]

Oh come on...

It doesn't speak to a films quality, good or bad, but I'll speak to it whenever I see it.

 

[Gee]

Wow, what a diverse cast.

That's what I thought aside from the horrible 90-degree clockwise rotation text.

 

[Schlosser85]

Quick, to the Virtue Signal!

 

[Stringer]

How can a black guy wanting to see diversity in a film be virtue signaling? Oh, you don't know what you're talking about, carry on.

Do we have to play that game?
Im at least bisexual and I would never demand or be offended by a movie, where is no bisexual character in it or at least an LGBT-actor casted. Who cares? It is a book adaption, where all characters are white. Without the book knowledge I know this movie plays 1940-1970 USA somehow, where POC had a lot to suffer sadly (if Im right). But maybe the story dont want to tell that story and casting a POC for a white character wouldnt fit into the script. But thats another discussion at all.

Lets go back to the movie and hope it will be awesome!

Yep, it’d be like if any time a new movie thread was created, I dropped in with a “wow, what a heterosexual cast” drive by one liner, which would just be transparent attention seeking virtue signaling on my part.

 

[Marvolo]

Diversity is fine and all but its not required, and the lack of it isn't a sin. Getting tired of it being treated like a moral requirement.

 

[Schlosser85]

Back on the topic of the movie itself, I think seeing how well Tom Holland pulls off a darker role like this will be a good preview/test for how he’s gonna do in Cherry.

This is a false equivalency, and quite frankly a lame sense of reasoning that's used far too often. Again; the lack or prominence of diversity does not make a movie bad or good, but worth pointing out.

I only see a couple of good actors on that poster.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Still undecided if I want to read the script for this or not.

 

[Persona]

The lack of diversity in this cast is very much a product of the setting and story. The areas that Pollock grew up in and wrote about were almost entirely white during those years. This is set in very rural areas of southern Ohio, WV, and PA between WW2 and Vietnam. Heck, I grew up in rural Ohio and even then it was mostly white.

I think Holland, Pattinson, Clarke, Keough, and Scanlen are all great. I like the others, too.

I mean, it might not be the most mind-blowing ensemble or whatever, but it is a really good cast.
