Suburbicon
Suburbicon is directed by George Clooney and was inspired by the election of Donald Trump. It is a dark comedy that features race relations in the 50s in America. When asked about Trump’s influence on the film, he stated, “I was watching a lot of [Trump] speeches on the campaign trail about building fences and scapegoating minorities and I started looking around at other times in our history when we’ve unfortunately fallen back into these things.” He continued to state the movie was not “a movie about Trump” but was instead “a movie about our coming to terms constantly with the idea that we have never fully addressed our issues with race.”
