MATT DAMON EXPLAINS HOW SUBURBICON SHOWS THE 'DEFINITION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE' AT WORK
Damon's character, Gardner, lives in Suburbicon, a town "built with the promise of prosperity for all," and his life and family are both fractured forever when strangers break into his house and his wife is killed in the horrible ordeal. Suburbicon becomes less of a town with optimistic potential for the people who live there and more of a nightmarish powder keg of a place in the days that follow. When people of color move into the predominantly white community, the ensuing madness is blamed on them instead of on Gardner, who's directly responsible for the rising tension (and bodycount).
