In response to [https://pitchfork.com/news/boots-riley-on-sorry-to-bother-you-oscars-snub-we-didnt-actually-run-a-campaign/ not receiving any Oscar nominations] Boots Riley called it a self-fulfilling prophecy since they hadn't active run a campaign for an Oscar nomination. If the Accolades section had any prose it would have been easier to include but not sure how best to fit it in. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.79.80.158|109.79.80.158]] ([[User talk:109.79.80.158|talk]]) 20:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
== Unpaid Labor,
The article calls what Worryfree is doing unpaid human labor though the the movie makes the argument that it is actually slavery. The slavery edit was reverted under the argued that what was depicted in the movie was technically indentured servitude.
Potential arguments for this interpretation are that it involves a contract. Arguments against include: in historical indentured servitude one was given their freedom once their contract was complete (worryfree's contracts are for life) and that according to Universal Declaration of Human Rights indentured servitude is a form of slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servitude [[User:Zigbigadoorlue|Zigbigadoorlue]] ([[User talk:Zigbigadoorlue|talk]]) 21:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
: It has been a while since I have seen the film but I wanted to present WorryFree as closely as possible to how it was first presented in the film. (See this much earlier more detailed edit that said [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sorry_to_Bother_You&diff=876811335&oldid=876802312 more about Worry Free] but was trimmed for brevity, because [[WP:FILMPLOT]] demands keeping the plot section short.) The implications are there, and the reactions and comparisons to slavery come later. With plot sections I think it is important to, as much as possible, say what you see, and be objective without interpretation even if that interpretation is fairly obvious. Even if it is effectively slavery (or prison labor), it feels a little too on the nose and direct to call it slavery right up front the first time it is even mentioned. The company obvious doesn't market themselves as selling yourself into slavery. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.77.205.163|109.77.205.163]] ([[User talk:109.77.205.163|talk]]) 04:53, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
