smthin about monkey man i think about is how unacceptable it is to show trans and gender diverse people getting angry and getting violent in their anger, because of how that's historically been used as shorthand for deviancy and villainy in narrative. when a trans or gender diverse person is upset with a system in film and resorts to violence, the audience knows not to side with them, but with the system trying to stop them
by contrast cisgender men and women have movies showing them enacting extreme violence (take this movie and every revenge movie ever) with the understanding that we are on their side
this is one of the only times ive seen what i'd call a mainstream film (albeit a mainstream film that's a passion project on a comparatively low budget that only got a cinematic release because of another film-maker with influence) depict -- in this case hijra anger and capacity for violence -- as righteous, as uncomplicatedly worth rooting for
very satisfying to know many people watched this statement, thank you dev patel and jordan peele

things monkey man does that are far more interesting than the “violent revenge good actually” take ive been seeing a lot of
constructed facsimile of godhood w the trappings of power glamour wealth etc used for evil vs real potential of godliness/divine in the average person with no power or trappings other than the true beauty found in nature and human connection
wisdom and healing found in connection with diverse peoples vs trauma and evil found in manipulated division of peoples
rage against injustice as a form of worship
leveraging a very specific genre of action movie (one man kills all bad guys in his path) to explore these ideas

Thinking about Modi-fan Priyanka Chopra praising Monkey Man just one month after taking her family for a photo op at Narendra Modi and the BJP’s newly consecrated, Hindu nationalist pet project, the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, built on the ruins of the Babri Masjid which was razed by fascist, far-right Hindu supremacists (including many in the RSS) in 1992.
For context: whilst being a stunning action film, Monkey Man has also been lauded for its critique of far-right Hindu nationalism. The defining event triggering the main protagonist’s quest for revenge is the razing of his village and the rape and murder of his activist mother, after a fascist Hindu nationalist guru deems the location a “holy site” and seeks to expropriate the land on which the village sits.
Chopra’s cognitive dissonance is real. And so is her raging self interest.
