Sofia Carson Is Defending The Netflix Movie "Purple Hearts" Despite The Backlash Against It
Sofia Carson is defending her new movie Purple Hearts despite the backlash it's been receiving.
She stars as Cassie, a singer-songwriter who marries Luke, a Marine, to get healthcare benefits after being diagnosed with diabetes.
The movie came out on Netflix two weeks ago and it's since received a lot of backlash.
wait there’s a netflix “rom com” about a type one diabetic who can’t afford her insulin so she marrys a man in the military for his health insurance benefits 😭😭 baby that’s a horror movie omg
People have complained that the movie was racist, promoting anti-Arab sentiments, and it was just military propaganda.
@FilmUpdates @SofiaCarson @nickgalitzine Purple hearts is us military propaganda that uses the invasion & deaths of 1.2 million iraqis as a romcomNot to mention him defending his racist friend & telling her to sit down & stop it when she called him out after he was cheering with ”hunting down some goddamm Arabs” 🤌🏻
i don't get the hype in the movie "purple hearts." clearly a straight up military propaganda + the blatant racism in it. a latina changing her beliefs just to be with a white military racist guy. enemies to lovers only work in books.
