You literally did...

Kind of impossible to fix IMO. The editing and pacing isn't particularly egregious. The direction, the dialogue, the stilted acting, and the overuse of CGI are the main problems, and short of cutting out the worst offenders, you can't change that.

The depiction of a racist character (the character themself is a racist) isn't necessarily racist in and of itself, unless the film endorses it in some way. It can be used as commentary, to highlight the reality of a specific time or place, or to show what kind of person that character is. The racist depiction of a character (a character that portrays in a racist manner, such as one that displays racial stereotypes) is more often than not a reflection of the filmmakers personally held racist beliefs, though in some rare cases can also be used as a commentary.

There's a difference between a character being a racist and characterization being racist.

I like how you spelled basterds correctly but got inglourious wrong.

Politics in film can be interesting when it is executed well. The problem with the prequels wasn't necessarily the ideas, but the execution was just awful.

I worked many real jobs too and they absolutely were soul-sucking. You are fortunate your jobs didn't suck that hard and your experience is not universal.

Steaming may be soul-sucking in unique ways, but that doesn't negate the ways other jobs can be soul-sucking. If we're all soulless husks at the end of the day, what the fuck does it matter how you got there?

That's bullshit. Real jobs are physically demanding AND soul sucking. He has the luxury of a soul sucking job where he sits on his ass. Count your blessings.

America doesn't have a single, unified culture.
