media literacy nerds are so fucking annoying
>>214829030>reddit movie attracts reddit audienceWhat were you expecting
>>214829030Another White dudes for Harris movie.
>>214829030Shan't be seeing that.
>>214829030>media literacyThis is another stupid term adopted by midwits to give their idiotic opinions more impact, just like when people would use the word ‘objectively’ to describe their subjective tastes.
>>214829030Gladys (2026) screencap this!
>media literacy
Weapons is probably the single most irresponsible and objectionable movie I've seen since Triumph of the Will or Crimes & Misdemeanors. Might as well be called Sandy Hook Aids Jabber
If the movie was so bad why did it make so much money?
>>214829030if the kid had a gun this could have been avoided, the movie is advocating weapons possession
>>214829030Can someone explain the movie's theme/message
>>214830019Yeah, you don't sound like a hysterical /pol/ophrenic at all, bro
>>214830156probably some hysterical antigun bullshit, idk
>>214830178>le media literacy faggot can’t detect sarcasmKek
>>214830293It can be rather difficult to detect sarcasm on a site filled with so many lunatics.
>>214830338>lunatics You believe men can be women.
>>214830338>on a site filled with so many lunatics.Yeah that really is a drag. It’s too bad you’re being forced to stay here.
>>214829030>the machine gun floating above the houseWTF I thought I just imagined that part
>>214830381Clearly you have me confused with someone else. Maybe go for a walk and try clearing your head-canon.
>>214830421Teenage female hands typed this
Are we pretending media literacy is a new thing? Fuck off and get into the real literacy of semiotics.
>>214830178he doesnt at all actually are you brain damaged
>>214830501semiotics is just anything that is called pol or schizo
>>214830502anon is your keyboard broken or are you just incapable of using proper punctuation I mean are you a zoomer bcuz that would make a lotta sense I mean I don't mean to be judgy or anything but maybe you should put in just a little more effort frfr
>>214829030Why Zach?
>>214830556cope more fag
>>214830487>>214830465
>>214830156Do people really watch every movie constantly looking for a message?
>>214830604do you really look at one person asking a question and assume thats what all people do all the time?
>>214830019What's wrong with Crimes and Misdemeanors? And less importantly, Weapons?
>>214830156>Alcohol bad>Trannies badMost of what you can glean is from director interviews. The movie did a piss poor job of making its points, for me the non linear storytelling was done poorly and distracting but not sure if that's a common reason for it.
>>214829030>woke tranny propaganda slop gets a sequelClown world
>>214830666
>>214830973nice selfie
>>214830604Idk how to explain it but the movie felt very heavy handing with a message but at the same time so vague I wasn't sure what was going on. The ar-15 or whatever above the house was so on the nose and I'm assuming the kids are the 'weapons'? I'm was hoping there's more than that...>>214830765>the non linear storytelling was done poorly and distractingHaving two of the character stories go nowhere, killing both characters at the end was such a waste of time.
>>214831002>nice selfie
>>214831051typo but I'm not esl
>>214829030When you don't know the answer, but want to feel like you're smart, just act smug. That faggot doesn't know why the floating gun was in that dream sequence either.
>>214830433It is explained. Thanos says the kids "were weaponized like bullets" and "traveled like rifle shots" that's how he was able to find on the map that they all ran to that kids house.
>>214830156Witches bad
>>214831051It also didn't seem like the changing vantage points really added anything until the boy (Alex?) so much of it just felt redundant and drawn out.
The only time media literacy needs to be mentioned in discussions about mainstream television or film on the internet is to explain that Tony 100% dies at the end of The Sopranos and the show did everything short of plainly spelling it out. Maybe explaining the ending of LOST too but I think most of the people who were confused about that just didn't watch the last two seasons before checking back in on the finale.Other than that I can't think of anything that it would actually apply to.
Jordan Peele wanted to acquire the rights to direct Weapons, with plans to turn the family attacked by the witch Black and create another film that would play into race baiting
>>214830765where did the transsexuality come in? i thought it was witches = bad plain cut. zach's been sober for a long time and trevor died from alcoholism, but the alcoholism was tied to a single character arc so it's not the overarching message of the movie.
>>214830156The takeaway that I got is that some people in our lives are like parasites. There are so many references to parasites throught the film and the way Gladys feeds off her victims is very parasitic.Someone brought up the alcoholism angle and in an interview Creggor talked about how his father was a terrible alcoholic. He probably thought of his alcholic father like a parasite to his family.
Cregger was inspired by being freaked out by narutards in college.
>>214830590He said in an interview that the movie was basically saved by the actress who played Gladys.
>>214831806that's ridiculous. Barbarian did well, Weapons did better, make another new original detatched from the rest. It's bad enough he's doing Resident Evil. it'll prob be good but I really think he needs to keep making originals for the sake of his legacy if nothing else. Oh well.
>>214830126i fell for it. the trailer looked good but it was a shit movie. kinda fun to watch on a date though
>>214830156a kid gets bullied and shoots up his entire class except the teacher and while in the mental ward he concocts a story about a witch and a floating gun
>>214831139>a gun that makes bullets shoot at you from all directions when you pull the triggerwhat
>>214830156You have to remember that the whole thing is a modern American fairy tale. The takeaway of Weapons is that society is built to exploit children, with authority figures either being helpless in the face of social parasites or mind controlled thralls who do the bidding of said parasites. The entire town is an MKULTRA experiment run by the deep state. Gladys wears USA colors and dresses like a clown for a reason, she's a black magic sorceress who has glowie handlers we never get to see. Gladys got away with things for as long as she did because in exchange for keeping things local and not overstepping her boundaries (and teaching the elite how to harvest children), the government would use the townspeople as test subjects to observe the effects and limits of mass social conditioning. The adults were helpless to stop Gladys sooner because of a combination of her magical influence and the compounding trauma and social stresses from their daily modern lives causing them to dissociate.>some of the adults wear mickey mouse shirts (Disney has not only made wartime propaganda, but certain icons and names have allegedly become mind control trigger words within the military)>the bell having a delta symbol with 3 on it>the biblical symbolism behind the whale references (the Leviathan was thought to be a giant whale)>Gladys harvesting children for life force = adrenochrome parallels >the kid ends up going to "another aunt">the promo posters state that the kids never returned + contradictions that pop up if you take the narrator at her word
>>214832448god i miss trevor this is just a mess of nothing
>>214830556>HE DIDNT USE COMMAS AND PERIODS ON 4CHAN OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
>we NEED a spin off>we NEED a prequel>we NEED a sequel>we NEED a reboot>we NEED a mini-series
How many hot dogs do you reckon Marcus and his husband eat a day?
>>214830156Aunt Gladys is obviously a metaphor for nu-communism.An old forgotten thing that makes its way into communities now adays and steals kids away from their parents (to become troons). Makes formerly reasonable people violent frothing psychopaths willing to do whatever it commands.
>>214829030Weapons looks like an AIsloppa movie.
>>214832325I see you're unfamiliar with the science of gunkata.
>>214830156Bad things happen for no reason at all
i don't understand what you're bitching about. it was a good movie
>>214830156It's about people being weaponized. It's not a message, theme is more accurate. You can see it in several aspects of the movie, like how Josh Brolin accuses the teacher of being responsible for the kid's disappearance(having been weaponized by the kid's disappearance, he turns into a weapon against her) down to the characters that the witch controls. It's about a cause and effect chain that makes people turn against each other. It's not exactly a metaphor, but it has applicability to real life and how some situations can cause people to turn against each other. The political climate of the past 10 years seems to me like an inspiration for it.>>214830604Not every movie, but with a lot of them it's obvious some thought was put into it, especially one like this where it's a writer/director making it and there's more of a vision there.
The fact that “death of the author” exists means that there is no such thing as media literacy in the woke sense. Simple as.
Have you fucks ever met anyone claiming media literacy that actually WAS literate? I saw some fucks who were the usual non stop leftypol screaming shitters who had no idea about pynchon's thing for kekolding in his movies and thought that was hollywood.
>>214829030>IT WAS A HECKING ALLEGORY FOR SCHOOL SHOOTINGSFuck off
>>214832448This movie sounds like zigger propaganda
It's really funny that you guys are so brainrotted you are mad about the concept of understanding stories.
>>214836026all art is subjective
>>214830156We need to burn some witches
>>214830019the evil jew witch gets eaten by the kids whose souls she was harvesting. it's an optimistic remake of LongLegs. Now there's a fucking objectionable, retarded film.
