>the predator is a stealth analogy for the vietcong's triumph over the GI
has a director ever ruined a kino for you with their personal interpretation?
>>
>>220198487
But that's based if true?

Does that mean I can get a Predator to jerk me off down at the parlour

>>220198487
But Arnold beats him though?

>>220198487
They should have just a made a Vietnam movie. It would be a lot better than all of the standard FMJ/Platoon/Deerhunter bullshit.
>>
>>220198487
That makes no sense. Predator is a far more technologically advanced opponent. Arnie is the one that beats him by utilising the environment.

You'd be the predator preying on an Alien.

the green berets are in an alien environment, they comment on how the bush is the meanest they've been in. in this context the alien's superior tech is only a metaphor for the vietcong's home turf advantage.
in the end arnold wins because you can't have a bad ending in hollywood. originally the pred was supposed to win.

What?

Both wrong.
The Green Berets are the Viet Cong in the analgy metaphor thingy
>>
>>220198487
Analogies are peak brainlet dogshit. Predator is about a group of mercenaries going in an area and killing a bunch of south east asians until an alien who likes killing people shows up and starts killing them for sport.
>BUT THE CURTAINS ARE LE BLUE!!!
kill yourself
kill all analogyniggers
kill all metaphornigger
kill all allegoryniggers

The only use of any of this DOGSHIT is to avoid censorship. That's literally it. It's for when you can't tell the state is bad because they would kill you so you tell a story about something else and people go ''hey, wait a minute, this says the state is bad.'' That's the only proper use of an analogy or metaphor or allegory.

It's actually about a boys night out being interrupted by the nagging wife of each of them.
Each death represents the guy who listens to his wife and abandons the party/gathering. Anna represents the hot coworker, at the end Arnold and his "wife" have a huge fight that goes "nuclear": he calls her ugly, she mimics him and in sarcastic tone responds with evil laugh while mentioning divorce (the nuclear option)
At the end Arnold chooses the cute co-worker.

dilate
Never in the entire history of hollywood have they used an analogy because they are afraid they will get kicked out. They do it because other people have convinced them that analogies and metaphors are good writing and your work needs to be art and the only way it can be art is if you trivialize everything that happens in the movie and claim it's about something you deem to be ''deep''
They do the opposite of avoiding censorship. They make something that barely made it past the censors, and then 20 years later to seem woke they claim their movie was about feminism and trans issues and racism.

Is the shooting up the guerilla barracks a metaphor for shooting the shit with the boys?

>>220199053
Hollywood was never allowed to show the horrors of the vietnam war beyond the trauma inflicted upon US soldiers. Same deal with the middle east wars. You get cut off by the balls if you dare give it a local perspective.

Absolutely insane. Every Vietnam movie is about the horrors of war and portrays the whitey as a monster and they can't stop talking about the horrors of the war.
The idea that you would need to show the horrors of the Vietnam war through aliens to avoid censorship is completely insane.

Average allegorynigger.

This is a flat out lie. Every single hollywood Nam movie is all about the american protagonist's struggle, natives are just narrative and machinegun fodder. At best you'll find a bad actor or two on the american side but that's part of the propaganda to make it seem that all the bad inflicted was on behalf of a few "bad apples". VC stay nameless and at best fuel for the white man's trauma.
>>
>>220199664
Insane troon having a meltdown because the Vietnam movies have the good guy be the protagonist and the movie isn't about the main character slaughtering innocents and raping
>>
>>220199874
Every Vietnam movie tries to paint the war as a necessary general evil (war) spoiled further by unnecessary evil on behalf of bad apples. The hard truth is that it was always an unnecessary evil from the start, but because communism is a big no-no to the people running the show, Hollywood would never tell the other side of the story in earnest.

Absolutely insane troon. There isn't one move that portrays the Vietnam war as good. It's all portrayed as pointless violence and US is the evil one.
Even as a few insane people are shown as the bad eggs, there is never any objective or anything good to work towards. Everywhere they go there is death and the natives are scared of them. The good guys get children killed by just being there, every soldier is a participant.
Delusional subhuman lives in another reality.

Where did I say that you knuckle dragging gorilla? What part of necessary evil is too complex for your subhuman brain to grasp?

>>220198487
You’re ngmi if a directors personal interpretation can ruin a movie for you. Anyone can make an analogy stick so long as it’s rooted in something & all are equally valid. I’ve heard Predator is a secret final girl movie, anti big game hunter, or how man truly thrives best in a traditional environment.
