Nimona [Film] - an interesting take on things that are different from ourselves

[Scott75]

I just finished watching Nimona on Netflix. It's an animated feature that I at first thought would just merely be pretty funny. By the end of it, I found it to be a profound look at how we treat things that are different from what we're used to, and how trying to eradicate differences tends to just lead to more problems. Here's a film review on it that I think is quite good:

Quoting a bit from it:

**

Remarkable resurrection aside, Nimona is an extraordinary film in its own right. It catapults us into an eye-popping futuristic medieval world, where shapeshifter Nimona (voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz) will wreak havoc — and win your heart in the process. Along with its unique animation and rollicking action sequences, Nimona digs into themes of individuality, identity, and acceptance that aim to speak directly and warmly to the queer community. At a time when LGBTQ rights and spaces continue to come under attack from bigoted legislation, Nimona cements itself not just as a great fantasy film, but as an important one as well.

One thing I'd like to add, I don't think the lessons in this film stop at LGBTQ issues, but with ways of resolving things in general- one is dialogue, the other with violence and how violence tends to frequently escalate into more violence.
