Strange Days

This film is just too good, engaging and eerily true to real life (BLM); considerable when you realise this film was made 15 years ago today. It's the OG "tech-noir" film in my opinion. I'm at such loss for words. Please just watch this film. Angela Bassett makes such a bad-ass, radical femme fatale; giving a full 180 subverting the trope. It explores racism, abuse of power, voyeurism, and (camera?) technology. I was reading some reviews and i'm just gonna paste them below: Both characters represent a significant contrast: Mace (Bassett) is the film's hero and moral center, whereas Lenny(Fiennes) is the antihero; Mace is black and Lenny is white; and finally, Mace represents the "hard-edged, reality-based" component, while Lenny is dominated by fantasies. This is especially notable when Mace yells to him, "This is your life! Right here! Right now! It's real time, you hear me? Real time, time to get real, not playback!". The film's white characters also tend to be nihilistically concerned with the present, while black characters are generally future revolutionaries.
