Whoa, Mark Wahlberg’s New Movie ‘By Any Means’ is Stirring Things Up!
- What’s the Buzz About?
- Remember ‘Green Book’?
- Our Take on the Vibe
You won’t believe the buzz around a new movie starring Mark Wahlberg! It’s called ‘By Any Means’. And wow, does it have people talking.
The headline says Wahlberg teaches “the virtues of violence.” In a historical thriller, no less. Pretty blunt, right?
This news immediately made us think of another film. Remember “Green Book”? Viggo Mortensen’s character teaches Mahershala Ali’s concert pianist about fried chicken. The white driver, the ‘expert’. The Black protagonist, the ‘student’.
It was a moment for them. A bond. It felt like it was supposed to fix things. But even back in 2018, that movie felt… old-fashioned. Like it was from another time.
Now, fast forward to ‘By Any Means’. Elegance Bratton directs it. The headline calls it “bluntly drawn.” We can almost picture the stark visuals. Maybe raw, gritty scenes. Not a lot of soft edges there, we bet.
It makes you wonder: what kind of story is this movie trying to tell? And how does it tackle big, tough ideas? Especially when it talks about violence.
Speaking of things that make you wonder, did you catch up on the latest from The Traitors? Krystle and Rida took home the trophy! OMG! Krystle and Rida Took Home The Traitors Season 2 Trophy!
It’s interesting how movies tackle these big themes. From historical dramas to something completely different. Like Kelly Osbourne’s big move back to the UK with Sidney! You can read about it here: Kelly Osbourne’s Big Move: Back to the UK with Little Sidney
Our Take
We’re watching ‘By Any Means’ with a keen eye. The idea of “virtues of violence” sounds pretty intense. Especially when we think about the “Green Book” approach to solving big issues. That felt a bit too simple, didn’t it?
A “bluntly drawn historical thriller” suggests a tough aesthetic. No sugar-coating here. It makes us hopeful this movie isn’t shying away from uncomfortable truths. We need stories that challenge us. Not just soothe old wounds in a way that feels… well, dated.
We’re curious to see if this film truly pushes boundaries. Or if it falls into old habits. What do you think?
