Enzo released in 2025
A well to do white family... The elder son has a Black friend which is a nice touch of inclusion for such a film set in France.
There are other countries in europe yet to include their Black citizens in their movies. Black People have been and are everywhere.

Prometheus 2012
#NoomiRapace asks #IdrisElba to sacrifice himself for Earth.
#MichaelFassbender doesn't explain why he knows the air is breathable in the ship and Rapace doesn't connect that to #loganmarshallgreen being infected. If she had, she might have considered sacrificing herself to end David.

I'm 59. In my experience of life couples who lose a child often break up and perhaps this movie explains why... finally.
Many films have tried to express the pain a mother feels at the loss of a child; but this allowed me to see the anguish of such a father.
