How does a government justify a death Contest to the people?
>>215037825The military already took over, so no justification is required.
>>215037825Elon Musk killed 300,000 Americans during his six months in office and nobody cared
>>215037825Isn't that just war?
The same way Cheeto bitch is able to justify being a gay Jewish pedo, by appealing to retards.
how does the trump administration justify putting innocent people in concentration camps with no due process?
>>215037862How did he do that? Did he tie them down and run them over with a Cybertruck?
>>215037862Based Elon. You retarded libtard.
The same way the Trump administration justifies its genocide of trans and latinx people
>>215037840Taking power is easy, staying in power is easy. How many kids can you send to their death before their families take up arms, even more so when the path is predictable
>>215037907He took gibs away from shithole countries and this killed them. experts agree, studies suggest.
Reminder that 90% of MAGAts support the genocide in Palestine and when the time comes it will be okay to do the same to them
Funny that Mark Hamill is in two different King adaptations that release the same year
>>215037935So basically I killed a homeless crackhead today by not giving him money. Wow, I'm based
>>215037927The walkers are all participating voluntarily, as it's a contest with a prize attached.
>>215038011I got the implication that it's not a voluntary contest, and their lives can't be that bad that they would voluntary sign up.
>>215038045In the novella it's voluntary. Can't speak to the movie, not gonna see it since it's been injected with AIDS
>>215038045>I got the implication that it's not a voluntary contestIt's clearly presented as a voluntary contest in the book.
>>215037825Call them nazis and fascists and say you're doing it to save democracy. Then when they get assassinated, celebrate and tell them their tone is too violent
>>215037825It really shows just how deluded the mind of an aging boomer lib is. In Stephen King's mind this really is a possibility and that's what makes it so 'disturbing' to him and his audience, rather than just absurd and nonsensical to normal people.
>>215037942yeah, we're going to be claiming ugly red hats as trophies soon
>>215037970He needs the money
>>215038124I hate Mark Hamill and it still warmed my heart when he extorted $10 million from Disney to appear in The Force Awakens for ten seconds
>>215038069What AIDS?
>>215038101>deluded the mind of an aging boomer The novel was written in 1979, he was 32 when it was released
>>215038101It's an allegory for the disenfranchisement of soldiers during the Vietnam war, dummy.
>>215038154He's probably talking about casting a 32-year-old nog in the role of a 16-year-old white character.
>>215038154Making McVries black and then changing the ending so he wins the race instead of Garraty (and then he kills the Major lol). Also they made Stebbins irrelevant
>>215037825In the book they go into detail about how huge gambling on the long walk isLet them do a couple parlays on which kids die and when and the retards would gobble it up
>>215038045Signing up for the US army to go get mutilated for Israel is voluntary
>>215038045>their lives canโt be that badThey have roaming death squads there, and itโs implied the US got completely fucked in whatever war they had. Their lives are pretty shit, and the gov presents the walk as a way out with the prize
>>215038275I'd hesitate to call Stebbins irrelevant in the movie, he played his role. Was he more important in the book?
>>215037825Read the book or watch the movie
>>215038434I did watch this movie, that's why I made this thread and I want to see other people talk about it as well.
Sad to see that the movie is a box office failure, why didn't Americans watch it?
>>215038088>>215038045It's voluntary in the movie but they point out that the prize is so great and their lives so shit that every eligible person likely volunteers therefore making it effectively mandatory out of necessity.
>>215038746Walking doesn't inspire interest since the hunger games has more exciting gimmicks along with squid game.
>>215037825It's easier than you thinkRemember lockdowns?
>>215038862They allude that it might not be volu tary and it might be rigged.
>>215039003No they all explicity talk about volunteering and how they don't know anyone who didn't volunteer. It's 100% voluntary but everyone is effectively forced to volunteer because their lives are so shit.
I was gonna watch it but lost interest when I found out they changed the ending and made it woke.
>>215039199The ending isn't woke, it's arguably as bleak as the books ending.
>>215038746Above pic is the bookBelow pic is the movieHopefully this helps
>>215039254>Change the ending so le black man (who didn't even exist in the original) gets to win>Not wokeLiteral culture welfare
>>215039295What did he win? He threw away the price and it won't change anything in the grand scheme of things, he lost everything and won nothing. He even lost the ability to look positively
>>215039469Was he still breathing when the credits rolled? How about everyone else in the race?
>>215039615He did, but what did he win? The right to live? And what life is left for him?
>>215039771>He did, but what did he winBesides his life and the event that the film is named after and about?
>>215039821I repeat, what life is left for him?
>>215039833Malt liquor, petty theft, weed, fried chicken, the usual
>>215037825the nigger main character was terriblecouldn't understand what he said most of the time because of his accenthe has no flaws, never gets tired because "he's been walking his whole life"
https://youtu.be/3Td3-fwhDLk?si=gyZrBOK8yhvk6yH1
>>215037825In situations like this, the govt is employing every little sneaky "1000 cuts" method it can to whittle down an unsustainable populationalso you will notice most of the runners are brown
>>215039948You add nothing to the discussion >>215039987>never gets tired becauseHe did, he even dosed off to sleep
>>215039275>ginger apocalypse
>>215038124RIP, Cobes
>>215038124>2013
>>215040460Pepperidge Farm will never forget
>>215037825When "Im gonna be" by The Proclaimers played in the background after that one annoying character got his head blown off I clapped
>>215037825>current year adaptation>change the ending to the plot armor black kid winning the contest killing le fascist chud and becoming emperor of wakandaWhat the fuck
>>215038169>>215038202Now spot how different the ending is from the original and why, you disingenuous retards.
>>215040833Why did they change the ending in the mist? Why was the ending in 1408 changed?
>>215040898Those sucked too
>>215040898Yes, both endings changed in those too so a random new black kid wins everything. Exactly the same. There is no difference. Stop noticing.
>>215040954Take the red pill and answer my question, why did they change the ending in the mist and 1408?
>>215040898>>215041284>whataboutismWhy don't you fucking answer why they changed the ending of this shit first, you disingenuous little bitch?
>>215041313I don't know you're the one who says there is some grand conspiracy at play because they changed the ending yet presented with others movie where the ending got changed then you have nothing to say. So is there a a grand conspiracy at play then why did they change the ending to previous movies
>>215041477Stop pretending you don't know why The Long Walk's ending was specifically changed to what they changed it to you stupid fucking faggot. This is why cunts like you went from being politely accepted to everyone hating you. You're insufferable you little shit.
>>215041543See how he throws a tantrum like a child, see how he loses all ability to think when backed into a corner that he willingly walked into.
>>215041586Nah, he had you perfectly pegged with "disingenuous little bitch". You know exactly why the ending was changed in this instance
>>215039275Of course they'd cast a darkest continent black for thisHollywood needs to learn if it doesn't have gangstas or Wakanda in it, black people are not watching, no matter how many DEI spawn you put in the movie
>>215041712I sure do, they wanted a ending that was darker then the books and everyone is left in a much worse state.
>>215041965>Invincible plot armor Wakandan survives everything and against all logic defeats the evil Drumpf stand-in
>>215041965>The Major is killed>This is somehow darker than what's in the book
>>215037935Sounds like a shithole country problem to be honest
>>215042010You didn't watch the movie, what are you even doing here?
>>215042030>Major is killed but fuck all will change >McVries is left with nothing and was probably shoot shortly after
>>215042010>Generic military commander who leads a death squad >Is a Trump standin
>>215042053The novella also strongly implies that the winner is killed but the Major lives. The movie is not darker. Also I can't help but notice that you're ESL. Consider suicide
I really enjoyed the movie but felt it could have lasted another 15 minutes. They are literal zombies by the end I would have loved to have seen them get psychedelic with hallucinations like Darabont intended with his adaption.
>>215037825It's not so far-fetched
>>215037935wait do you really believe this shit? it's not a joke?
>>215039275>2: Abraham>47: Garraty>62: unknown>70: Olson>91: unknown>3: Art Baker>80: unknown>49: Harkness>28: unknown
>>215038434I enjoyed the book. Will watch the movie too, didnt know it finally got a movie of it
>>215037825NGL I cried for like an hour watching this earlier
>>215042881Gladiators didn't fight to the death
Pic related was the best character
>>215044364
>>215043288The ending is completely different (gay and retarded)
