I'm sure by now, you've already heard the theories about how Black Panther is actually Alt Right because of its protectionist/ethnocentric themes. But they threw in a scene at the very end, during the credits, (no spoilers), that makes me wonder if it was added last minute in post production for fear of rightwingers making a point. Who knows?
Anyways, the film was okay. Just another typical super...
Good premise. Thrilling cinematography. Worth watching.
You see, they changed the message of the novel, (which was apparently very pro-life, anti-immigration quota, and all about strong morals being necessary for a healthy society), and tried to turn it into an Antifa type movie. The messages aren't shoved down your throat like most Hollywood movies, so thankfully it leaves it up to interpretation....
The first 40 minutes of the film were okay. I got sucked in and was super pumped about it, to be honest. Sure, it was cheesy, but it was a relatable white cast with the American entrepreneur spirit. Then it slowly started sneaking in more and more "diversity" and equated literal freaks in a freakshow with African Americans. (Really shows what the left thinks of their pets.)
This is just the same...
I didn't put any "Anti-God" points because only the very strictly religious would have a problem with the talk of the force. Star Wars has always shown spirituality and faith in a positive light. Although, on this one they make it seem like more of an Eastern religion than a Christian one, I guess. No big deal. Pretty sure George Lucas "culturally appropriated" ancient Kung Fu stuff when he came up...
This was the first movie that pushed me into making this site. I had been living abroad for a while and hadn't kept up with new movies and their trends. I remember hearing about the "Boycott Star Wars" hashtag and thinking it was silly. After all, who cares if there's a black guy or a woman in it?
But then when visiting home I saw it and was severely disappointed. I kept waiting for things...
The film in a nutshell:
Of all the super hero movies coming out lately, it was fairly creative and an interesting take. Great scenario, great cast, and it even got pretty good ratings from other conservatives. But as Sonny Bunch points out, X-Men is beating a dead horse with the cliché civil rights analogy. And for me, the Mexican immigration under overtones were too much too handle. Sure...
It’s weird, they seemed to have cast their version of Gaston based on Robbie Rotten (pictured above), and a La Fou based on Jack Black. But couldn’t afford the original actors. All things considered, those 2 personas were fitting choices for the live action adaptation. And speaking of La Fou, all the hype about him being gay made my expectations of this film very low, but it really wasn’t...
The "anti-patriotism" rating is not because it's anti-American, but because it's the same-old same-old borderline socialist crap. You know, the evil businessman trope.
Not much to analyze in this one...
Iuhnno, lotta' white people for a change. That was nice. But of course, like with all Hollywood films, they wait until the climax to inject maximum diversity and feminism.
The main character's...
It's bizarre re-watching childhood movies now that I'm "redpilled." I truly was colorblind in many ways back then. Because holy crap, are there a lot of black people in this film. Compared to 2018 affirmative action, it's nothing, but still it's very intentional and not representative of the 13% of our population. And as usual, all the stereotypes are flipped. The nerdy black genius entrepreneur keeps...
Yup. Another overly simplistic plot line about evil capitalists who try to exploit the environment at all costs. And of course they just HAD to make it clear that they were Republicans. In one scene, the cartoonishly evil fat cats say:
I'm sure I'm gonna' regret this, but maybe you should talk with Dolittle.
And what? Give in to a bunch of beasts and lower life forms?
I took on the Democrats!...
TL;DR "meh..."
The movie was okay. Same 'ol worn out pro nature, noble savage, man/industrialization is evil, BS from Hollywood. It wasn't 100% stupid white men being shown up by women but a good portion of it. Sure enough, black dude is a scientist, every war America has fought was unjustified, and if we were just kind like the women, then the perfect harmony of nature would still be in tact. Yadda...
This one was much better than the last one as far as character depth and chemistry. Also they replaced that last chick with a funnier more personable actress. Which, apparently was due to pregnancy but could be due to other reasons kept secret for publicity's sake. Like asking for too much money, or not being a crowd favorite. Anyway, some feminist news site complained:
When I see that stuff I think...
Don't waste your time. Per usual, any Hollywood movie based on a small town will be incredibly racist in its portrayal of Southern whites. With – of course – no sense of irony or self awareness in regard to its blatant hypocrisy as it spouts off platitudes about the horrors of small minded bigots.
I can hang with the stupid Southerner trope even though it's been done to death. Not...
The white protagonist is a fumbling pansy, but that's his character as the geeky scientist trope. Definitely easy to ignore and not get too annoyed by. There were a couple scenes and lines in there about a woman being strong and tough, while making the white men seem like threatened bigots blind to how badass chicks can be. ◔_◔ But that is also to be expected. Just a cheesy family flick, so don't...
Meh. Pretty entertaining so if you want to pay for it you can. It's what you'd expect a buddy cop sequel to be. I gave it gay ratings only because they made fun of a flamboyantly gay stereotype. Not PC at all, and no pro gay agenda. As for the other ratings, one could argue that Jackie and Chris are affirmative action hires right off the bat, and the movie is full of non whites. So it should get 5/5....
This was a pretty great film. Not gonna' lie. It's just sad that we can't have these same themes in movies lead by white people and about my nation. One of the most popular animated movies (worldwide) was "Frozen" but the themes weren't about the importance of familia, respecting your ancestors, unity, patriarchy, etc. like "Coco" was. Instead, if we're lucky enough to get blue eyed blondes as leads...
Cute family movie. There are lots of broken homes in the plot, but it's just for easy sympathy points from the audience. I didn't sense any agenda being pushed in this regard; the father figures were all respectable men. Another really refreshing theme (perhaps unintentional) was showing how the education system has failed boys. Without any spoilers, the protagonist has trouble in school and spaces...
This one is a bit tricky:
❌ It was produced by J.J. Abrams.
✅ They didn't make Captain Kirk a black midget trans woman.
❌ It was directed by a Taiwanese-American and funded by a Chinese company.
✅ But in catering to a traditional Chinese audience they cut out a gay kiss.
❌ They added some cheesy "empowered" female characters showing men how it's done.
✅ They...
•50% cliché scenarios you see in every action movie
•30% exposition, lazy plot devices, and bad acting
•20% hilarious cultural satire and racist stereotype jokes
•10% whacky sexual situations
Funny mindless entertainment and no insane agenda shoved in. Although, I did notice a trend among all three films. It was something I never noticed growing up, and may seem unimportant even...
Pretty great film. I had never seen it before but always love the idea of angels and demons. Yokai anime are my favorite and other Hollywood movies about ghosts or angels are in my top 10. So I am a bit biased. Very fascinating to see Nicholas Cage not be crazy for once, but he's just so friendly and kind that he is creepy so two sides of the same coin I guess...
Anyways, I would...
