Was it woke?

You like black girls?

Is woke anti-White (((goyslop)))?
>>
>>217333239
Absolutely wild that such a shit movie came from the same guy that made amazing films semi-recently like There Will Be Blood and The Master, even Phantom Thread feels like a much more respectable and smart film than this despite being boring.
This movie was so fucking dumb and cheesy compared to everything else PTA has made. Feels like a legit sell-out type move.
Need to rewatch There Will Be Blood to get the taste of it out of my mouth.
>>
>>217333239
Yes (and that's good, actually)
>>
>>217333245
I like Filipino women.

It's satire. My names Jungle Pussy.
>>
It's antisemitic. The "Christmas Adventure Club" is a direct reference to Epstein's network and secret Jewish groups holding power and control.
>>
I am not at all a /pol/ incel and I really wanted to like this but something about it still felt wrong to me. People claim its a "both sides" movie but the fact that hardcore woke journalists circlejerk over it should tell you that's bullshit.
>>
its in that disco elysium zone where it agrees with woke but portrays them as so pathetic that you can interpret it as an insult
>>
>>217334148
It's a no sides movie.
>>
>>217334150
>It agrees with woke
What does that even mean?
>>
It seeks to impress upon its audience the idea that there's shadowy cabals of white supremacists scattered across the US. So yes.

Why can't PTA make people watch his movie?
>>
>>217334161
I really don't think so. It portrays the right wing as evil facist racists (which is true) but its only criticism of the left is basically that they're cringe and annoying. It almost had something but it felt like they were too pussy to go all the way with it.

Eddington was unironically a better satire on the same subject and that's proven by it pissing everyone off.

Disingenuous. It's significantly more negative about some demographics than others. Unsurprisingly, one demo in particular doesn't feature at all - despite common attributes of this demographic being crudely assigned to another.
>>
>>217334221
This is pretty common
Like a lot of things written by left-wing idealogues that wish to present as being "unbiased" tend to do this, they absolutely pull their punches when "criticising" their side and go all-out on the opposing side, but act as if it is equal.
Disco Elysium really is a perfect example, as >>217334150 says
The criticism of left-wing is always "oh well yeah I guess they're a bit pushy or cringy but still sincere and honest and trying to change things" whereas the right-wing depiction is always "yup absolutely evil without exception". I'm no genius but to me those two things don't seem equal in fucking slightest.
>>
>>217334221
>it portrays the right wing
It portrays Lockjaw as a corrupt Colonel using his power to try to hide a secret. I hate you people projecting whole values onto characters in art.
>>
>>217334275
like trump covering up a beautiful secret huh
>>
>>217334221
>but its only criticism of the left is basically that they're cringe and annoying
It literally shows the French 75 to be terrorists.
>>
>>217334181
I hate these white supremacists. Inviting only their white supremacist friends into business. Giving their white supremacist friends 0% loans at the bank. Systemically occupying more and more positions of power and white supremacist influence. Buying media and news outlets to spread white supremacist propaganda. Creating laws to prevent people from boycotting white supremacist products and companies. Creating more laws and a special word to stop white supremacist hate. Lobbying government for white supremacist interests and sending taxpayer money back home to white supremacist land. There's a real problem here and OBAA tackles it head on.

>>217334345
How so?
Starship Troopers is a funny example of the filmmakers intending it to portray one side poorly (e.g., "fascist" militaristic right-wingers) and yet it unintentionally portrayed them in a way that most people liked and agreed with, which is hilarious.
What did you intend by this comparison?
I guarantee I am more intelligent than you but I am willing to hear out your explanation on this.

They're the protagonists. I don't think there's any suggestion that they're good.

It makes sense when you understand what this project is. Every movie since TWBB he always talked about how badly he wants to do a car chase (not joking), and in interviews for One Battle he says hes had bits of this script for 15 years. He also said after Inherent Vice that he really wanted to do Vineland but didnt know how to do it so he did Inherent Vice instead. So what is this movie? Its Vineland, so it has the zany comedy and funny nazis and stoner stuff Pynchon does in all his books, but its also actually PTAs car chase script so its not a direct adaptation and everything in it is actually original PTA. So what IS the movie? Its PTA attempting and in some ways succeeding but mostly failing to *approximate* the humor, characters, and tone of a Thomas Pynchon book while shoving this approximation into this bounty hunter action movie hes been wanting to make. What this made is something weird, which has a lot of people in love with it (I suppose because movies are terrible and boring nowadays); but the problem is that to anyone paying attention it is clear this Pynchonian material does not actually work outside of his books and language. Instead of coming across like this weird, funny, paranoid world (that he mostly successfully captured in Inherent Vice), you have this stupid cartoonish kind-of satire that cant decide on a tone because its fighting between Pynchon and PTA the entire time.
On top of all of this, it also seems like Trump’s election and the ongoing genocide of White countries has caused PTA to have a sort of existential crisis about the fact that he’s a racemixing traitor that now has black children who have torched his European lineage. Assuming the two father characters (Sean Penn and Leo) are supposed to be PTA’s mental stand-ins, the movie comes across as one giant copefest.

Am I to infer that these two things are related?
>>
>>217334366

Disingenuous post confirmed.
>>
>>217334727
Meaning the cultural wake-up-call on white identity. PTA is, like Pynchon was, someone who is tapped in and has probably seen /pol/ and understands the discourse happening in the world right now. You can tell from his humor and writing in things like Phantom Thread or Licorice Pizza that he’s not some bubbled Hollywood libtard who just cant even right now (even if hes on their side), he’s a genius artist that is paying attention. White people starting to reforge their identity in the face of genocide has clearly caused PTA to have this internal battle over being a race traitor. Thats why the movie comes off like a therapy session copefest because its his “defiant” way of saying fuck you all I love my daughters even though they are nigger mutts.

Starship Troopers is a totally failed satire and the dude didn't even finish the book. That film is a self own

anything chuds don't like is woke now lmao

The funniest movie this year.

The left don't have the balls to make them say nigger it's hilarious
>>
>>217334171
The authors are of a progressive persuasion and the themes, characters, and plot reflect that.
>>
>>217333239
Ironically, no
The whole movie is about how the loud, violent lefty revolutionaries didn't accomplish anything and basically ruined their lives, and the thing that truly matters is family
>>
>>217334221
NTA but that always seems to be the case. Right = evil as fuck. Left = they're impotent and shit because they're revolutionary pseuds rather than true leftist revolutionaries (implication being that genuine leftist revolutionaries = good)
>>
>>217334694
someone took the time to write this pile of hot garbage

lmao nobody of worth thought that ST was nothing else but satire.
polyps lost touch with reality and do live in their alternate paranoid universe, amazing
>>
>>217334402
Crabman is an interesting example. He was portrayed as a sudden genius gigaChad far superior to everyone else (who were white) that could easily fuck up these retarded white hillbillies in a fight. But there wasn't rage over him because there was not wokeness pervading everything. If constructed in the woke era he'd make everyone groan and turn off

Even libtards praise it for walking the line between satire and genuine scifi adventure. Shit a ton of critics didn't even pick up on the satire upon release. My point is Paulie didn't read the book and even he did he probably wouldn't get it
