This summer, I was one of maybe five people in America to actually go to a theater and watch Bushwick, a low-budget urban warfare film starring Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow.
From the trailers, Bushwick looked like a celebration of the diverse people of Brooklyn as they unite against a common enemy. The Verge described it as bringing “the debate over punching Nazis” to life. Right-wing pundits celebrated it as a “liberal film” that “flopped”. I mean, check this out:
Seems like something I should love, right? Alas, no. This film was not liberal or progressive, it was white racist garbage.
Now that the film is on Netflix, I’m going to dissect Bushwick. I hated this film, but I’m going to watch it again, so that you don’t have to.
