Audiences have spoken.
>>214834539>protagonist is a subhuman commiefuck off
>>214834629Chuds lost.
>>214834539>Boogie Nights CYikes
>>214834813I was surprised that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood got a B. It did good business, almost $400M worldwide.
>>214834539Yeah it's got really high IMDb rating, high RT audience ratings, "Universal Acclaim" rating for audiences on Metacritic, an A cinemascore and a 4.5 on Letterboxd. Along with critical acclaim from critics, this is a movie everyone loves and will go down as PTA's highest rated work. That said I'm probably never going to see it because aside from The Master, I haven't cared for any of his other films and I don't trust him to change that.
>>214834667Who’s the president again?
>>214835011Netanyahu.
Just got done seeing it, a solid 8.5/10 from me, damn good. Very different than anything PTA has ever done. The ending chase scene thru the hilly roads was amazingly shot, and I loved how that artistic choice eventually led to actually effecting the narrative when she slams on the breaks out of view from the guy chasing her and makes him crash. It was a pretty damn funny movie too, my theater was full and there were multiple times everyone laughed out loud. It not as “cerebral” as most of PTAs work, but it was beautiful shot and wonderfully paced. Chuds are NOT gonna like this one tho, they’re already whining on twitter that PTA should be deported and that he hates white people lol. I can’t imagine being so sensitive.
>>214835359Hahahaaa, dude I high fived the guy next to me the laughs were so good. The Batman line made me bust out so hard my butt plug flew out of my ass and hit the screen. But I wasn't the only one so the audience was cool about it
>>214835579>The Batman lineWas that a nod to Catch Me If You Can? I can't remember if Zoyd Wheeler does that in Vineland.
>>214835579lol people on this board are so miserable. You must be fucking insufferable to hangout with in person.
Wow another anti-White propaganda piece that the jewish critics love
>>214835029the guy is a turbo chud
>>214835786>lolHey, don't let me catch you smiling
>>214834629None of the protags are good people, not really. That's established pretty early on. Even the daughter, who's supposed to be shielded from the life, is prepped and immediately embraces it>>2148353598/10 for me. Definitely more of a mainstream art film, feels like the budget was warranted with the amount of stuff on screen. Pretty sure PTA said that the movie was "had political elements but was politically ambiguous", but the random false-flag protestor was definitely NOT apolitical.Good film, won't rewatch. Will never show to parents because the first 20 minutes are so horny, especially the Lockjaw intro
won't be watching pedodicaprio latest slop
>>214834539Chuds its time to do damage control and watch the movie so we can pick it apart intelligently and discuss this important film!
>>214835359>I can’t imagine being so sensitive.
>>214835999>Even the daughter, who's supposed to be shielded from the life, is prepped and immediately embraces itHow does this make her not a good person? The only guy she kills had orders to murder her.
>>214834667>>214834950>>214836050>libs are desperately pretending their trannytifa movie is the voice of the peoplewe like eddington here, not this libtard slop
>>214836140When she's at the revolutionary nun camp they're concerned that she's too much like her mother, immediately embracing the lifestyle. Even the machine gun scene is matched to create the parallel. I guess it's more about the potential than anything. Beyond the parallel with her mother she's basically a nothing character with no arc beyond joining the French 75 at the end which is, well... shown to be very violent at the start.
>>214836267>joining the French 75 at the endShe's going to a protest, she didn't join the French 75 which doesn't exist anymore.
>>214836364Ahem...peaceful protest. Be careful with your wording, chuds have some delusion that cities were burnt to the ground during the pandemic or something.
>>214834539I just got home from the theater. It was a really, really well done movie, even if I don't care for what the characters stand for. For a 2.5+ hour movie it flew by and I felt like I went on a real journey with these people. I did figure out a pretty big aspect of the movie early on, which kind of hurt it.The performances in this are amazing. Has Leo ever acted poorly? Is he in the running for greatest actor of all time? Benecio was excellent as well and Sean Penn was amazing. The music and direction were top tier as well.The grades in that graphic are fucking stupid.
>>214836364>>214836536We need to go out and protest for more haitian migroids. Its just the just and equitable thing to do chud.
>>214834539I am worried the shills are going to convince me to see this and it will just be Antifa: The Movie
I don't even know what the movie is about. I just keep seeing it spammed here and everybody gets mad without anybody actually talking about the movie.
unless this shit actually wins an Oscar in 6 months this will forever be remembered as a huge flop
>>214835359>Chuds are NOT gonna like this one tho,but the movie has an ultra-chud character of the century?
>>214837276It's about a former radical activist who's living in hiding with his daughter, he had to go on the run 16 years earlier when his wife got arrested and now the agent who caught her is back to tie up loose ends.
>>214837432That's kind of a dogshit premise. It's basically "retired -specialist- has to come back for ONE MORE JOB" and entirely depends on the quality of the execution. I'm guessing this only got green lit because it feeds into the current political climate.
>>214837217Well don't let them convince you. It is lliterally Antifa the movie and I say this as a long PTA fan. There's nothing subtle about it's politics but people are doing gymnastics to say it "nuetral" or "fine" or even "fair to both sides". I can tell not a lot of people have seen it yet but even chuds who have just seen the trailer have already accurately described what it is. It's not a surprise different or other type of movie that the trailer misleads you on, it is exactly the type of movie the trailer tells you it is. Hollywood needs to flop for this.>>214837306It will win best picture, Hollywood has already decided. And it will be a big political talking point on both sides of the isle by that time.
>>214834539I liked it, but honestly the movie is fucking bewildering in its pacing. It spends a solid 20-30 minutes focusing on the mother who is utterly irrelevant the moment she steps off screen, save for the last moment where the apparently gave a letter that very clearly wasn't from her given that Bob outright says she hasn't talked to him at all since she ran. The whole chase scene on the rooftops only for Bob to fall off, get captured, then escapes to get back with Sensei seems like a massive waste of time as well. We don't get any new information or perspectives, it's mostly for a gag that tossed the realm of belief out the window (Bob falls like 3 stories and gets up like nothing happened) just to get us back to where we already were. I get that it's mostly symbolic, but there's a lot of these moments where it feels like the director felt that he had to expand the run-time even longer. It's a 2 hour and 50 minute movie, it could have been trimmed down and refined. Also, the score felt oddly disjointed at times. Maybe I'm stupid though, I'd enjoy getting different perspectives on the movie, and I enjoyed the symbolism for what it was. I just felt it could have been executed better.
>>214837501>retired -specialist- has to come back for ONE MORE JOBExcept it's not like that at all. Leo's character is a washed up stoner loser trying to get his daughter back and not get killed or arrested in the process. It's not another John Wick reskin.
>>214837501>has to come back for ONE MORE JOB" andnot that at all. Stop making assumptions. It's not the movie you expect it to be just because it has political elements in it. The movie isn't preachy. It's more towards entertainment in many ways of just giving you a ride with these characters on opposing sides.
>>214837567>The movie isn't preachy.You are too dumb to talk too, it's woke af.
Sean Penn was great as a white supremacist with jungle fever.
>>214837688dont pretend to have seen the movie when you havent
Yep it’s goated
>>214837567>It's not the movie you expect it to be just because it has political elements in it.Then why does it dominate all discussion about the movie?
>>214837793Because you only read areas where people love to filter everything through politics. Which means you probably love to filter everything through politics. So yeah, you'll not like the movie if you're that kind of person, but who cares about the opinion of such a person anyways when it comes to film
i shan't be watching
It's a great cinemascore but I think it's partly a result of the fact that the movie didn't break out in its opening weekend. People were bandying around $50M domestic and it's looking like it'll get $25M if it's lucky, so most of the people who went were already in the bag for this. Having seen the movie I have a hard time imagining it catching on with a wide audience.
>>214834629my friend saw it and said you're not really supposed to like the "revolutionaries" who intentionally are written to be retards but i'm sure that wont stop general audiences
We need to be better bros…women need to have reproductive rights, we shouldn’t have borders and white men (unless they fight for us) must be destroyed. PoC must be aided and America (founded on FREEDOM) must become a bastion for ummm anti capitalism and anti imperialism. Can I have some chocolate cake now?
>>214837865>Because you only read areas where people love to filter everything through politics.Everybody here, on social media, on youtube. Literally everywhere they talk about this movie it's all people can talk about. And i'm not being selective either. Even in interviews they only talk about political violence. So they either picked the perfect time to release this movie or the worst.
>>214834539>movie is released glorifying leftist domestic terrorism right as IRL leftist domestic terrorism is skyrocketingGreat timing. Shan't be watching.
I don't understand why people see the film as a rallying call to a revolution, if anything the revolutionaries are shown to be in it for the thrills and they fall apart as soon as they are confronted by the fact that they have to use actual violence.
>>214837961The Christmas adventure club was right. All of the revolutionaries lived in shitholes, did drugs and were killing innocents. The white guys were respectful, competent, had clean nice houses, acted fairly and only Sean penn (compromised by sheboon ass) was overtly bad.They unintentionally made a movie cheering for the good guys. Common leftist behaviour, see: man in the high castle, Wolfenstein, peacemaker.Clean, orderly, moral and righteous light will shine on this blighted land. Praise Saint Nick.
Any webms of the hot back girl in the first 20 minutes?
>>214838010>The white guys were respectful, competent, had clean nice houses, acted fairly and only Sean penn was overtly bad.And that makes their racism and hatred okay? You're failing one of the most basic tests of morality. A serial killer putting on a suit and tie and getting cleaned up and acting honorable for a minute doesn't compensate the evil.
>>214837306Yeah, everyone remembers Oscar winners.
>>214834539Only faggots saw it, it's a confirmed gigaflop lmao
>>214838045>serial killers are the same as understanding that there are differences between racesWhite society and its maintenance is the moral good. Most cultures outside of the west they burn people alive, rape kids or dump turds into the ocean. As soon as the swarthy hordes infiltrate the west they degrade it, setting up the next few hundred years of intense suffering. The ideology that keeps white society and dominance alive is the one that ultimately stops massive suffering from happening, on a massive scale.White society must be preserved, big walls must be built and the powerful wakandans can go and do what they’ve done for thousands of years somewhere else.
>>214835011>prove me wro-ACK!
I don't see why he bothered. Really underwhelmed. I thought this was going to be a surprise epic or something but it's really just a two hour, tight knit story stretched out to nearly three for no reason. Closeups galore, there's nothing here worth $150 million. Benicio Del Toro was wasted.
>>214838362>>prove me wro-ACK!
>>214835786They're demoralization bots anon, just ignore themSaw it today. 8.5/10. PTA's best since TWBB
>>214836552>I did figure out a pretty big aspect of the movie early onWhat are you talking about, the cause of the pregnancy?, they smashed you over the head with that by cutting straight from one thing to the other.>>214834950I've been a fan since 2007 and the ratings are absurd, this one is Licorice Pizza tier, it might even be worse.
>>214834539isnt this a satire of leftists, or is it a satire by some retarded idealist that the Obama, my nigger son could be Trayvon, admin, corrupted by trading honest discourse for jon stewart laugh tracks and corporate sponsored revolutions
>>214838831It's a slight ribbing of leftists, poking fun at pot-brained woke radicals. It's a total demonization and evisceration of conservative america
>>214838739>this one is Licorice Pizza tierSo great?
>>214838739>I've been a fan since 2007 and the ratings are absurd, this one is Licorice Pizza tier, it might even be worse.It's a rallying cry for the far left because it validates their mass hysteria. That's why they're acting so bizarre over the film. The true retards are the 10/10!!! bro just shut your mind off its best pta since blegh blegh bros. Mindless zombies who have no idea what they are even watching.
>>214838010>acted fairlyThey are basically full on nazi and it's heavily implied the soldiers routinely execute people they arrest.
>>214834539One Flop After Another
>>214838924Well if that's your thing you might like this too, but it's pretty low for me personally. The Haim girl was in this too for a bit.
>>214838985>The Haim girl was in this too for a bit.The part where she got got was pretty startling.
>>214838857ah so another glowie funded media operation of obfuscation of conversation and reinforced the fraudulent left, right paradigm. Is there any mention of how all conflicts, internal and external all revolve around ensuring reserve capital for governments to continue fractional banking? Like do chuds and troons not realize without the United States FED, there is no third reich? Mark my words, the obfuscation of war and its horrors will lead to Nazism flipping to misunderstood, real 1984 shit coming. No one cares but us schizos i suppose. There is only interests rates and conflicts

Can't wait to see this win Best Picture, I have right winger fatigue
>>214837961Because they didn't watch it.
>>214834539Is it actually good or are they buying positive reviews again to market home video sales?
>>214835359I don't care for most of PTA's movies. I find most annoying, sleep-inducing and hard to follow.I think Phantom Thread has been the only one I really "liked." Punch Drunk Love was a waste of time and they picked a gross woman to be the protagonist.But meh you never know I'll give this one a chance when I can rent it.
>tfw movies have started saying "retard" againkino is back
I thought the white supremacist hitman was a funny concept with the way he looked and dressed and the fact that he only drove blue mustangs. the mexican nissan dicaprio steals was soulful too. I liked the cars in this movie.I dont get why they made sean penn survive just to have him killed after that. we already knew the christmas guys wanted him dead, its not a surprise or anything. also why didnt sean penn just order one of his guys to kill his daughter.
>>214835359>muh chudsI have hated PTA since Magnolia faggot. I can sense his colossal insatiable ego through the screen and it makes everything he touches completely unwatchable.
>>214840746Also I'm 100% sure he will be forgotten forever after he finally dies, nobody is going to be digging up his shitty films 50 years later, he'll be a footnote.

>>214841383are you mad you lost the normies to nigger fatigue troon?
I can tell you what the score will be without having to see the movie, know the plot, or anything like that will answers to just a few simple questions:Is it anti-white?Are white people the villains? Are minorities invariably portrayed as smart, capable, empathetic, and competent?Does it mock Christians? Does it mock the nuclear family?Does it foist sexual degeneracy upon the audience at every turn?The more 'yes' answers, the higher the score. See, they don't actually compute these score accurately. (Bless you child, if this is what you think.) They can render any score they choose. An 'A' score simply means it toes the propaganda line.
>>214841286Chuds saw a black woman on the cover and assumed it's white genocide: the film. As usual, they were wrong.
>>214838362hey I guess you didn't get the memo but the lefties are all distancing themselves from the murder because they realized it makes them look really bad.
>>214841443ig im a chud but i like film analysis, the juxtaposition of the cover and director notoriety im willing to check out. But this doesnt seem like kino of a discussion like starship troopers, feels like shilling for a mediocre book adaptation
>>214841432Have you ever considered making your own films rather than seething about the ones that are getting made? Nothing is stopping you from making some white-only film about how middle-aged white Christian farmers from Iowa are the epitome of the human race, except the fact that no one outside of your echo chamber would have any interest in it.
>>214841509>film about how middle-aged white Christian farmers from Iowa are the epitome of the human raceweird you picked those specific characteristics lol>except the fact that no one outside of your echo chamber would have any interest in it.uuhhh

>>214841509 >some white-only film about how middle-aged >white Christian farmers from Iowa are the >epitome of the human raceThey are, thought. See: human history, the founding of the United States, and the eternal effort of non-whites flooding this country because they're own (non-lily white founded countries) are horrible shit holes. Hope this steers you in the right direction 'big guy'!

it's not going to have good word-of-mouth. it'll be another movie like The Brutalist, that gets lots of awards nominations then underperforms.

>>214841473>But this doesnt seem like kino of a discussion like starship troopersOh you mean doing the same fucking conversation over and over again pretending to not understand the film? Oh yeah, so fucking kino.
Very nice let's see boxoffice totals compared to budget
>>214841244My showing was dead on a Friday night, I'm pretty sure it's going to flop. Had exactly the same volume of viewers as Caught Stealing and Black Bag.
>>214844104name on part of starship troopers that doesnt have meta level geopolitical resonance relevant. Film is kino to pretend to not understand because then you have transcended into the director chair. What is this? Commentary on the revolutionary spirit being a fetish? White man establishment bad, disinfranchised good? I have no idea because the marketing was terrible and there is nothing to indicate the film wants to be taken seriously. The poster itself strikes me of the hateclick advertising and youtube meta of yonder. I predict the film is low effort bait with its time period swap, says nothing of substance of either side of the isle, but ensures PTA and Leo can rub elbows with the most liberal elite. Matter of fact, didnt Leo just say he was ethnic lol
>>214837026I would but I'm busy looking for my cat and dog today (I can't find them anywhere)
Just saw it last night, solid 7/10 I'd sayIt was pretty entertaining and enjoyable, felt very well paced (felt like a 2-hour movie despite being 3). Music, cinematography, acting, etc, were all pretty good.I think the movie's got good bones but fell apart with the story for a variety of reasons.We weren't given much reason to sympathize/like most characters/groups.The French 75 were a bunch of incompetent, bumbling, drug-addicted "revolutionaries" who never really seemed to have a goal past "obtain money through violence." Junglepussy standing up on the counter of the bank waving a pistol around shouting "This is what (black) power looks like." lost all possible sympathy from me. That's not power, that's tyranny. These aren't revolutionaries, they're thugs trying to feel important/vindicated by attaching themselves to a "cause."I feel the obvious play would be to make the Chrstimas Adventurerers be "evil and intimidating" but instead we got "evil and weird." They did not feel threatening. Lockjau felt threatening as a military leader, but not as a member of the club. The weirdness of the club felt out of place tonally, like it was used for comic relief to show how weird and silly they are, and I don't think this movie really needed comic relief.In short, these two extreme organizations felt very lazily written, and that they relied on the current sociopolitical climate to fill in the gaps of what each group stood for. Which makes sense for cutting corners, but it dates the movie hard.The secondary groups were more compelling to me. del Toro's character as the karate instructor was probably the most well done. He was well liked by the community, respected, he was a competent leader whom everyone followed. He knew the systems, how to get people places, and had been doing it succesfully for a while. He was shown as far more competent than the French 75. The latter seemed like nerds playing out their power fantasies with their parents' money.1/2
>>214841286Closest thing I would compare it to in terms of politics is Children of Men, probably a little more left than that, as the leftist group in OBAA is not as conniving and egregiously scummy as the Fishes. It's very obviously sympathetic to minorities/immigrants and unabashedly anti-fascist. The protagonist however is a former activist who mostly got into for the pussy and now just wants to ferry his black daughter figure to safety. DiCaprio puts in basically the same performance as Rick Dalton.
I guess the other opposing group at this level would be the US Military/border patrol, but not much to say there. I wish we'd seen how easily they took down the nunnery, that felt like wasted potential. Why include the scene of the nuns practicing using their heavy weaponry and then have them all get restrained off screen without single gunshot? If the soldiers were that good, why couldn't they feel more like the opposing force to the French 75? They wouldn't've needed the Christmas Adventurers, just make Lockjau the guy in charge of said elite group. If the goal is to showcase the bizarre nature of race purist secret society-type people, they probably could've done that without introducing a whole other group.I don't think the movie had many strong characters. Benicio del Toro's is probably the only major character that was all-around well written. I mostly liked Villa, but her decision at the end to continue her mother's work and be a revolutionary was lame. I was stupidly hoping she'd go on to try to affect actual, long-lasting positive change, but of course it'd be too much to ask and clearly not what they were going for. diCaprio's character was lame, bumbling drug-addicted failure of a father. Maybe good for a comedy movie, but he was a loser here. Why would I want to watch a loser as a main character? Only saving grace being that he did care about his daughter, and that's a good thing.Lockjau was not convincing. He easily could've been a truly evil character that inspired fear and dread, but instead they made him a creepy uncle type. Doesn't help that his skin was all weird and red and his hair was dorky. He came off as a weird gross old guy that I don't want to look at, and not at least a connoisseur of the devious.tl;dr, good production value, fun action movie, but as a poignant piece of art it fails because it's not clear in its message/characterization and relies on pre-existing sociopolitical views to strike any kind of chord.2/2
>>214835999>>214837892Why do you people lie so brazenly? They clearly protray the left wing terrorists sympathetically. How is in any way that apolitical lmao
>>214844373
Should I see this movie? I've heard it's non-stop action for 2 hours. I'm pretty sick of movies that are just people slaughtering each other and yelling fuck for 2 straight hours though.
>>214844648No
>>214844648>I've heard it's non-stop action for 2 hoursNot very accurate. It's also not really on an action film level, PTA is not suited to that I think, though the action in it feels pretty grounded and real.
It looks like ass but the mulatto daughter is kinda cute
>>214841432>Is it anti-white?If you believe that the most relevant aspect of Lockjau/Christmas Adventurers is their skin color, yes.I don't think it is, their thing is that they're race supremacists (not much different than the French 75/revolutionaries), so on that level, both the black and white characters are equally culpable of race supremacy, so the movie's target isn't anti-white, it's anti-race supremacy.>Are white people the villains?No, I'd phrase it as "some of the villains are white people." I don't think the movie makes any blanket suggestions of "all white people are villains." Some of the characters seem to imply that, but not the movie as a whole.>Are minorities invariably portrayed as smart, capable, empathetic, and competent?The black characters are mostly portrayed as violent, sadistic, power-hungry thugs, yet were also incompetent and stupid.The Latinos are mostly portrayed as people just tryna live humbly. The most competent character is Latino, but I think it speaks to his qualities as a father/leader/community member/teacher. The other "leaders" of the movie's factions didn't have any of those qualities, they were losers in comparison.>Does it mock Christians?Not really, the white supremacy group was mocked a few times for their references to Christmas and Saint Nicholas, but I felt it was a reflection of their weird secret club fantasies, not of Christianity at large.>Does it mock the nuclear family?No, the main family in the movie was super broken. Mom left after childbirth cause she wanted to be a revolutionary, dad ended up being a crackhead alcoholic. I think the only other family was the Latino's who seemed pretty good, which was a nuclear family I belive, or close to it, might've had a few more kids.>Does it foist sexual degeneracy upon the audience at every turn?Yeah.You could make a YouTube video portraying this movie as anti-white propaganda and get a lot of people to agree with you, but it'd be dishonest and wrong.
>>214844550>They clearly protray the left wing terrorists sympatheticallyWhat makes you say that?
>>214844772>both the black and white characters are equally culpable of race supremacyNot at all, because the government and secret society entrenched in it has far more power than they do. So the revolutionary movement is legitimized by the state in the film being more or less a failed one. It's not evident there would be violent revolution without the concentration camps and roundups/executions.
>>214844850>It's not evident there would be violent revolution without the concentration camps and roundups/executions.The French 75 was utilizing violence and killing people for money 16 years before the concentration camps/roundups were a plot point.>Not at all, because the government and secret society entrenched in it has far more power than they doThat's true that the govt/Christmas Adventurers have more influence/sway/resources than the French 75, but that doesn't make them any more wrong/evil/despicable/immoral. The govt/Christmas Adventurers utilize their resources (US Military) to carry out their goals of white supremacy (by rounding up immigrants). The French 75 also us their resources (militant members) to carry out their goals of...(? They carry out operations for "revolution" but it's never really described in the movie).I don't give the French 75 any kind of pass on their violence just because they're a smaller, less effective group than the US Military. If their positions were reversed, they'd be doing the same things as each other. It's just that here one group is more succesful because they have better resources. I just don't think that's a relevant factor in calling out how wrong they are for claims of racial superiority.
>>214844492i dont think you were meant to be all that sympathetic to the French 75. they blew shit up and stole but they were never really shown as effecting genuine change; nobody really talks about them fondly, even former members. the only one who seems to truly miss them is Bob/Pat and he only really misses them because Perfidia was around and he gave it all up to raise their daughter.the weirdness of the club felt pretty intentional.
>>214841395It's kinda like that but not that much, at least they had the courage to make the le epic black panther grrlboss an emotionally immature snitch who fucks off 1/3 into the movie and never reappears, tho they don't dare make any of the actual relevant characters address this much. It's just all over the place tonally, full of projections and white dem power fantasies (mainly the fact that the mexicans actually like them). This is clearly because the american mind is incapable of even imagining what actual social movements look like since they haven't had a single non-psyop historical event since the 30s. Thus all of the 'commies' in this movie are written straight out of a fed honeypot manual.
>>214845016>i dont think you were meant to be all that sympatheticCompletely agree, it didn't seem like that was the intention. Nevertheless, people will think it was, and I don't know what's going on in the director's head. If they were meant to be liked, then I think they failed hard on that front, at least to the non-politically charged audience>The weirdness of the club felt pretty intentional.That makes sense, but then the question is: why? For comedy, satire, mocking them? I dunno, it wasn't too clear to me.I think the problem these two things create is that it leaves very few likable characters. I think del Toro's character is the only likeable one, but he's a secondary character at best.If the point is that all the main characters are stupid and flawed, then that's fine for the message of the movie, but they could've made it a bit clearer.
Watched it yesterday and still cant decide if the soundtrack was awesome or annoying most of the timeMy advice: watch it if you have the time, but dont pay money for it
>>214844772All of the movie’s villains are White people. There isn’t one minority character shown to be a bad person, all of the minorities surrounding them are innocent angels working tirelessly to subvert them (like the nurses). The native guy is the only one shown to be cooperating and he betrays the evil White chuds in the end to save the girl.
>>214845121Some tracks were great, others were trite and bland. Clearly felt like two different composers. Ironically consistent with how tonally inconsistent the movie was overall.
>>214834539>evil criminal white guy tells evil criminal Mexican/indio to kill his mulato daughter>mexican is so disgusted and has such a change of heart that he sacrificed himself for the girl he never metlol, rofl. Does this gringo PTA really think we have an issue with chopping up little girls into tiny pieces and shoving her down the garbage disposal? We do that for breakfast, cabron.
>>214844948>16 years before the concentration camps/roundups were a plot pointNo, the opening of the film is them liberating an immigrant holding facility. When the prologue finally ends he says "15 years passed, but not much changed", Lockjaw is still doing the same thing he was in both periods. The US government abusing its power is absolutely a legitimizing context for the leftists in this film. It doesn't matter if their goals are vague, because we get a backstage pass to the driving force of the government and it is indeed as corrupt as it comes. We would have to assume those revolutionaries are fighting against the end results of those policies, and even if they can't directly perceive that shadow group, they are very familiar with the proxies they act through.
Still 21m opening lol >130m budget
>>214834539Wow it might actually make 50 million then
>>214845193He was native american who passed himself off as Mexican.
>>214845137I guess if you view the villains as the people opposed to Bob/Villa/The French 75/the migrants, then yeah, I think it's all white people. But I think that's a shallow way of looking at it.Thematically, they weren't any more moral/righteous than the French 75; both sides were equally villainous in character, I'd say.But, for the purposes of protagonist/antagonist, sure I guess that's about right.>there isn’t one minority character shown to be a bad personThat's just not true at all.The heist at the beginning of the movie (predominantly carried out by black people) involved them murdering innocent people and putting the lives of many more at risk. They are minorities and bad people.The problem is people like you only view these people as their skin color. Their skin color/race is not the most important thing about them, it's their qualities as a person. I don't know what the movie was going for with its message, but I think viewing the events of the movie on the basis of race is putting your head in the sand and ignoring reality because it's easier.All races of people in the movie are shown as being capable of good and bad, it's better to analyze the individual on the basis of their actions/beliefs rather than their race.
>>214845070its probably to mock them and make them seem a little bit ridiculous, while also showing they can be pretty scary and effective if need be; a common thought on how to deal with groups you dont like all that much is to make them seem silly or ridiculous or funny to laugh at.
Imagine getting $150m from WB and DiCaprio as your lead and the best you can do is make faggoty leftist propaganda slop. Fuck PTA.
>darren aronofsky - caught stealing>PTA - this>david fincher - the adventures of cliff boothwhats going on here? why are the pillars IMDB fedoracore directors all making meme movies?
>>214845211>No, the opening of the film is them liberating an immigrant holding facility.Oh, so that's what that was. I was ~5 minutes late to the theater and missed that. I came in when Lockjau was watching Perfidia through the binoculars.I still disagree though, I don't think violence is a method for change worth striving for. I think there are better ways of affecting positive change than violence. It'd be more compelling if the French 75 was shown having actually achieved things of value, but on a grand scale, they were powerless losers from the beginning to the end. They never really seemed to make any headway/progress throughout the movie, only setbacks, so all their violence came to naught: they're failed revolutionaries who only ever made things worse.>The US government abusing its power is absolutely a legitimizing context for the leftists in this filmYou mean from the perspective of the revolutionaries? As in, they believe they have a legitimate fight? Then yeah, I'd agree. If you mean to say that, to the audience, the US govt's actions legitimize then as a force for good, then I disagree for the above reasons.But yeah, to the French 75, and sympathetic viewers, the movie did a very cheap/easy/lazy job at legitimizing their support. Lots of people already dislike the US govt as is, even moreso with border control, so it's an easy plot device. Just show some holding facilities and you get instant support.>It doesn't matter if their goals are vague, because... ...it is indeed as corrupt as it comes.I disagree, I think that's shallow.If the thinking is "there is (valid) criticism against the US govt. for immigration policies, therefore any group that's opposed to that is morally righteous" then I completely disagree. If you want me to be sympathetic to the French 75, show me ther goals and aims and concretely how they're going to improve things. Being opposed to something that's wrong doesn't automatically make you right. Being right makes you right.
>>214845394last stand of the misguided leftist. none of their ideas are bearing out in reality so they panic and shart themselves trying to cope.
oh no Critical Shitter is in a pickle. Whats the fence sitting faggot gonna do. Says the movie is good and gets roasted by his fans for supporting a mediocre leftist movie or say something non dicisive like the faggot he is
>>214845304I imagine that's right, but it's disappointing if so.I don't watch Western media much, but I kinda expected more from what seemed like an acclaimed director.This feels like highschool-tier writing.Is it common for directors to come out and describe "this is what my movie is about" etc?I want to believe that it's written more intelligently than it seem, so I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.
>>214845275The one bank robbery where the postpartum black lady shoots a security guard (who is also black, because all the murders of White people in the movie are justified) leads to the entire group freaking out and dissolving, so it’s implied they hadn’t killed anyone before. Thematically they are shown to be completely in the right in all situations except that one specific incident. It’s about as black and white as you can get
>>214845275>I don't know what the movie was going for with its messageI’m not sure how that’s possible unless there’s something wrong with you. It’s not exactly subtle, they bludgeon you over the head with it for three hours.
>>214845262Historically speaking, injuns had no qualms with smacking babies over rocks and current day reservations are hot zones for murder and sexual assault. Which rarely get solved because of jurisdiction issues and corruption.
>>214835029
>>214845508>Thematically they are shown to be completely in the right in all situations except that one specific incident. It’s about as black and white as you can getYeah, I guess it's easy to look at the movie like that, but I just think that's shallow.I don't care too much about who the director was trying to portray as the protagnist/antagonists, almost none of the characters were commendable people.If the point of the movie was "minority revolutionaries are good and the opposition to that is bad," then a lot of things line up and make sense, but make it a stupidly shallow movie that any college student could write.Maybe I'm expecting too much from "acclaimed" directors, but I dunno.>>214845560>I’m not sure how that’s possible unless there’s something wrong with you. It’s not exactly subtle, they bludgeon you over the head with it for three hours.I think if you turn your brain off and let pre-conceived sociopolitical notions guide your thoughts, then yeah it's easy to put this movie into a box and definitively say "Yup, I got it, it's this kind of movie, I understand it."Maybe it is that kinda movie, but I'm not convinced.
>>214834539>gets 'A' Cinemascoredogshit third world 'English'
>>214844514appreciate this response
>>214845304It's not reasonable to say that any political satire is silly or ridiculous now. The Christmas thing strikes me a plausible identity/meme to arise in this day and age. Secret societies are inherently cartoonish and bizarre, subordinating yourself to something obviously ridiculous goes hand in hand with deep expressions of loyalty.>>214845567In general I don't hold them in the same regard as the face peeling body chopping cartel types you were referring to.
>>214845747>Secret societies are inherently cartoonish and bizarre, subordinating yourself to something obviously ridiculous goes hand in hand with deep expressions of loyalty.That's a good point.I feel if that was the intent, it got lost in translation and ended up as a weird attempt at comic relief.Maybe it's because we didn't really see the Christmas Adventurers do much. Lockjau was doing the same stuff before/after joining. Only other guy we really see do anything is the guy that shot Lockjau. The others just sat around being old men. I don't think they came across as intimidating/scary at all.
>>214845747Aztecs cruelty trumps all but the gringo was just asking him to not even kill her at the end, just pass her along to someone who would kill her. A hardened, corrupt career criminal that it’s implied has killed again and again, for a gig. Simple exchange. But then PTA had to whip out the whole noble savage schtick. It’s tired.
>>214845626>If the point of the movie was "minority revolutionaries are good and the opposition to that is bad," then a lot of things line up and make sense, but make[s for] a stupidly shallow movie that any college student could write.Maybe I'm expecting too much from "acclaimed" directors, but I dunno.Yes, that’s what it is. Hate to break it to you. You’re trying too hard to put pieces together that aren’t there. >I think if you turn your brain off and let pre-conceived sociopolitical notions guide your thoughtsThis is the process PTA used to write the movie.
>>214845928Well, screw this, then.I'm going back to anime.
>>214835011The guy who is a controlled opposition puppet.
>>214845394They're desperately trying to figure out what gets audiences into movie theaters.
>>214835871And because the Jewish critics love it, the Leftists love it.Shit-pile of hypocrites that they are.
>>214845834He was asking him to kill her, and the Indian wouldn't do it so he had to settle for transportation. I don't find it odd that a corrupt cop might still have certain principles about kids, especially a girl in a tutu.
>>214834539>Audiences have spoken>According to some literally who on Twatter Fucking neck yourself now.
>>214847076He didn’t just turn down the job, he saved her from an overt racist while sacrificing his life, like it all of a sudden became a samurai film. It only makes sense in a “us brown bodies gotta stick together, yo” sense.
Just came back from watching it.I give it a 6-7/10, entertaining movie. Sean Penn was the standout for sure, definitely pulling a lot of the weight with his character and performance.
>>214834539I'm not sitting in a theater for 3 hours, why do they do this now?
>>214834539Oh my god.Oh. My god (I don’t even believe in god but that’s how much this movie affected me)Picture this: me. My Asian birthing body. And xer black child body. We enter the theater, and find ourselves in the most diverse group I’ve seen in a very long time. We sit down at the seats, and what fills our senses for the next 3 hours is quite possibly the most beautiful, inspiring, and triumphant work of art I have ever seen in my 35 years on this Earth. And I’ve played Disco Elysium and got to see Hamilton live on Broadway.Stellar. Just simply stellar. Never has a film been more relevant and poignant for its time. I particularly related to the cuckolding of the main character and raising his birthing body's son, as it accurately reflected my own lived experience, and I'm sure that of many others of us standing for the revolution. This is a turning point, for our country, for our culture, for our world, for history itself. Thank you Leo, Sean Penn, PTA, and Warner Bros for standing on the right side of history and igniting the revolution of oppressed folx against the power structures controlled by the white elites. THANK YOU!
>>214834539So glad I saw The Kino Walk instead of this slop garbage
>>214847892You're welcome
Did anybody else pick up on the silent movie soundtrack vibes?I felt like the piano in the background throughout was very 30s esque.The final chase sequence, too, gave off old-skool vibes.
>>214845818Ironically, the 'big bad waysists' shut down actual ethnic ghetto cleansing because somebody allegedly had a nigger kid.
>>214834539It was actually pretty good wasn't as much of a drag as his other films
>>214844550Can you name one positive moment?

>>214849016Youre addicted to social media. You're not a serious person. You can't even form a sentence.You're actually a nigger.
>>214845121Soundtrack was overbearing in the begining, similar to Oppenheimer where there's just constant music over montagesMaybe I got used to it but it didn't bother me in the 2nd and 3rd acts
>>214845394Darren and PTA wanted to make their 2025 movies for decadesFincher though, that is weird that he's doing a Tarantino sequel, a dude who's famous for wanting his scripts adapted to a tee.
>>214845480If he thinks it's good, he either won't review it or put the review on his second smaller channel he uses for livestreams.
>>214847847Take some ritalin and go to a theater with recliners, which is most of them now.

>>214844550>Black woman spouting diatribe about her pussy while holding innocent people hostage gets interrupted by comrade executing officerWhat part about this was sympathetic
>>214843387Sure, it gives something like constructive criticism for the left with little jabs and jokes to make it funny, then depicts its shocking display of evil of the right where the main antagonist is more of a joke than the pot-head revolutionary. I see that it's supposed to have subtlety, it's just that from a left-wing hollywood person's brain, they have little of that left no matter how well they think they're doing

>>214850862high ratings are meaningless and available for sale, just like on RT and imdb.
>>214850862It's a contemporary rating I believe, you probably would've had a lot more average moviegoers going in blind. The subject matter is quite crude so I can see why it wouldn't take.
>>214840717They were so bent on framing him as the white man bad villain they forgot to add critical thinking to their plot development. He obviously saw who tried to kill him but then he still wants to join them?
>>214841206yes
>The revolution is nothing but ridiculous backstabbers who crumbles when things gets real > The antagonists are a bunch of hypocritical weirdos
Cinema score is only based off people who watched it. Totally useless biased metric.

The reason this failed is that it's for white adult men with over 100 IQ that want to feel serious and engaged and they're just gone. And what's left of that they split in half with politics.
>we need a woman audiences will believe that wh*te men are absolutely OBSESSED with>say no more
>>214854279Yes it's actually so unfair that MAGA chads are getting bullied like this by Hollywood. I have been crying like a baby since yesterday. Trump needs to save us from these lunatics and arrest all Hollywood propagandists that are saying things that make us look like we're just dumb uneducated hicks that don't know what's going on in the world. Paul Thomas Anderson has just created another generation of angry incels that will make fun of every LIBTARD on the internet. Get owned, COMMIE FAGGOTS.
Sean Penn was hysterical. However, he's never looked more Jewish than when he's playing a white supremacist.
WHY ARE ALL THESE POLITICAL THREADS FULL OF THIRD WORLDERS PRETENDING TO BE MAGA THE JANITOR IS CLEARLY ONE
I am a TRUMP supporter. I was BORN and RAISED in the UNITED of STATES and I will NOT support this anti-patriotic MOVIE because it makes fun of EVERYTHING I stand for. Join me, brothers, we have to BOYCOTT this anti-MAGA movie. I AM PISSED. ROYALLY PISSED. How can they even?
