‘Unsane’ exploits mental health misconceptions

JAX DALLAS STAFF WRITER

Released March 23, “Unsane” is a horror thriller that pretends it has a meaningful message but delivers only toxicity. The film follows Sawyer Valentini, played by Claire Foy, and her voyage as she moves from Boston to Cali- fornia to escape an obsessed stalker, played by Joshua Leonard. Running from the trau- matic experience, Sawyer seeks therapy for stalking victims, but she gets tricked into being institutionalized after revealing she has had suicidal thoughts in the past. Things only continue to spiral out of control for Sawyer as she discovers that her stalker is working at the institution – or is it all in her head? Any film that uses mental illness as a primary source of conflict is toeing a thin line between building a compelling story line and propagating dangerous and outdated views; “Unsane” flat out sprints past that PHOTO COURTESY: EMPIRE line. tients and hospital workers. ization as well. erally fuzzy-looking final moments, it lacks decent With the primary source Every patient with whom The major takeaway of product. pacing to make these scary of conflict coming from Sawyer interacts fits a ste- these directing calls is ob- It is commendable that scenes flow together.

Migos’ vision of ‘Culture’ clearer in latest video

LIAM NIEMAN OPINION EDITOR

When discussing the ’ 2017 “Culture” album with Fad- er, Offset said, “The new album title is about the culture of hip- hop music. It’s time to let the culture be known. It’s time to claim it. And it’s time to claim that we are the Migos, and for people to understand that this is what we did. We did a lot for music. Migos is the culture.” Offset was obviously talking about the music itself, but this past week, I’ve been thinking about the group’s visuals. Al- most immediately upon seeing it, I realized that the Migos’ re- cently released video for “” is the closest thing we have to the fully realized vision of the “Culture” concept so far.

Ole Miss mounts comeback to defeat Southern Miss

JOSH GOLLIHAR STAFF WRITER

The Southern Miss Gold- en Eagles traveled north to Oxford to take on the Rebels in a top-15 matchup Tuesday night. The Rebels ranked fourth in the na- tional polls after a series win over Texas A&M; No. 15 Southern Miss is not far behind, however, also im- pressing throughout the first half of the season. The Rebels rallied to win by a score of 7-6 after falling in a 4-0 hole to start the game. The Eagles figured out Ole Miss’ starting pitcher Jordan Fowler early. Six of the first seven hitters in the Southern Miss lineup forced full counts. The lefty Fowler allowed back-to- back singles to start things off, followed by a walk. A sacrifice fly would be the only out he was able to re- cord as the Eagles’ first basemen Hunter Slater hit a three-run home run to build an early lead.
