A conversation has started about the film The dramaeven before it was released.
This time the focus is not only on the story but on how the film has been promoted to the public.
The March for Our Lives group has raised concerns about the marketing, as the film’s lead stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson include a storyline that touches on a very serious subject.
Although the film may be trying to talk about responsibility and change, the way it is presented, according to the group, does not reflect the seriousness of the subject matter.
However, they believe that when something like school violence is involved, it should not feel easy or unclear in promotions.
Instead, it needs to be handled carefully so that people understand what the film is really about.
Jaclyn Corin also said that ignoring how real and painful this problem is can be harmful.
She suggested that the team behind the film should speak openly and help guide a meaningful discussion.
So far, A24 has not responded. Even before its release, the film is creating strong reactions that show how sensitive the subject is to many people.
