Movie Suggestion: Beatriz at Dinner

We always talk about contemporary USA here (No 'murican, not America, don't be dumb, America is a continent not a country. Or when you talk about America are you referring to Uruguay? You don't even know the existence of Urugay, dumb you).

So, thanks to a post about it by @Picklebobble2 while talking about it in another topic, I want to suggest you a film I watched recently, it's a nice film but it offers a partly interpretation of social class, immigration and other interesting cues about contemporary USA.

The movie is Beatriz at Dinner with Salma Haiek and others.

Well I haven't seen the movie, but the whole 'America is a continent' approach is pretty silly. If a person doesn't know that North and South America are continents and not countries , then they shouldn't even engage in conversations other those needed for practicality. Pointing out that America isn't a country is like using a typing error to refute someone's argument. It's a grade school move. 'America' has long been used interchangeably with 'the United States', and tough beans on anyone who doesn't like it!

@SW-User Well, that's an inaccurate assessment, and another adversarial comment that is below you.

I've seen it. The race relations aspect was interesting, and class relations. John Lithgow was a brilliant asshole. But we see that Beatriz has a lot of issues of her own that extend beyond what the film is "about".
