Review of Mass

Mass (2021)
4/10
Decent screenplay, but skirts around the issue
23 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Decent performances and script that captures the horror and aftermath. But messaging and moral is all wrong. Mass seems to say that if we can:
  • ban violent video games,
  • loved ones can come together and sing coom ba yah,
  • have more religion and councilling


then the fact classrooms full of children are routinely butchered can largely be resolved. Or at least we can cope with these revolting events.

There's an elephant in the room carrying a semi-automatic assault rifle. Was barely mentioned. Why is the USA the only democractic country in the world that is unable to hold its government to account, without the proliferation of murder machines? The US constitution is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't have all the answers. The second amendment must be repealed. This film seems to suggest that it's better to attempt to eradicate teenage angst. Good luck with that. To deprioritise the gun issue is to permit endless repetition of this child slaughter.
