For those who watched "The Drama", I would like to hear your sociological thoughts on it
I have many thoughts but one thing i have noticed is people excusing Emma's (Zendaya's character) actions. Even though this movie delves into the idea of action vs inaction and there is a lot of foreshadowing between the different characters and their childhoods, I believe people are too easy on Emma because she's played by Zendaya, because they have a para-social relationship with her and cannot detach her from her character.
That being said, it's an interesting conversation about how radicalised kids can become online and how easily they can become detached from reality but at the same time, signifies the importance of offline relationships since Emma becomes an advocate against gun violence. But some argue that it's due to her feeling empathetic that she decides to not go through with the shooting. Others say that it was because she was finally socially accepted that she decided not to go through with it anymore.
