>Inspirational story about a guy telling a bunch of random people he crossdressed and got famous for playing with dollsIs this just the gay version of "Simple Jack?"
>>223204630They went hard on Forest Gump oscar bait. Never go full retard. This was just some Chris Chan weirdo, whom if you suddenly gave immense power to would start locking up anyone who looked at him funny into interment camps and would laugh at their misery. There's no "wholesome manchild" out there, they're all vile adults.
>>223204630This is probably the apex of the whole "WWII creation myth" that Boomers cling to.Makes sense that it's from the Forest Gump guy, that movie was 100% Boomer self aggrandizement
>>223204630Another other films like this that perfectly capture the cultural pushback during Trump's 1st term?This movie could have only ever been made in 2018
>>223205148the 2nd black christmas remake, the last charlie's angels, the first purge, borat 2.
>>223204630Reminder that IRL the people who beat him up were blacks he made unwanted sexual advances towards, in the film they're white nazis who attack him for no reason
>>223205148BlackkklansmanMoonlightGet OutThe hate u giveThree billboards outside Ebbing, MissouriHustlersKnives out
>>223204630I felt weirded out while watching this movie
>>223205248In the movie they beat him for being a weirdo
>>223204630There was nothing heroic about that guy
>>223205248I looked it up once. I think it was four white guys and a black guy? Making them Neo-Nazis was definitely artifice though.
>>223206277>>223206327It's based on a much creepier dude
>>223206327Right? I mean, I guess good for him for making some nice models after recovering from brain damage, but it's not that inspiring.
>At home, he had a closet filled with over 200 pair of women's boots and pumps that he is thought to have worn to feel close to women>A woman who helped crime victims was in the courtroom and gave Mark a small teddy bear to hold under the witness stand so that he could channel his feelings into the bear instead of letting them show on his face.>In addition to being arrested for drunk driving, he was jailed for showing up drunk at a girlfriend's house with a 12-gauge shotgun he was using as a crutch.>One of the real-life attackers, a 16-year-old nicknamed "Black Freddy," wasn't even white.>In real life, two of the five attackers were still teenagers
>>223206816This weirdo looks nothing like Steve Carell
bump
>>223205351>Three billboards outside Ebbing, MissouriKinda fun, but not rewatchable.
I'm old enough to remember when this happened. The guy got drunk and groped one of the kids, who told his brother, and then they beat the shit out of him.
>>223208324Only a Nazi would react so negatively to harmless LGBT flirting like that.
>>223208390Well, I don't mean to brag, but I may subscribe to some of the tenants of National Socialism.
>>223208410
>>223208324So that was what really happened?
>>223205093This
>>223205351The Hate U Give is one of the most infuriating movies I’ve ever watched.
>>223206630MUCH creepier.
>>223209232pretty much, it was a rather large psyop at the time and it quietly went away when the "assailants" didn't get charged
>>223205351You posted 6 shit movies along with the best movie of its year, are you dumb dumb?
Been a while since I thought about this. Wasn't the tranny shit something that only came out after the initial art exhibit and Rolling Stones story and documentary, once the guy got a movie deal and people actually started sniffing around the story?
Can someone explain what the fuck you guys talking about? Is this some rain man crap?
>>223210272Not quite because they rewrote the plot to make the murder justified in the film version
>>223212021That’s what makes it infuriating. We have to watch this clueless bitch utterly fail to see things from the perspective of the cop. I guess he’s just supposed to sit there and wait to see if he gets shot before he reacts.
This makes me think they could probably sanitize the story of Chris Chan when enough time has passed
>>223212001It's a long story but the TL;DR is this In the early 00s, at the dawn of the internet, there was a viral story about a local art gallery who was doing a show of photos of a super detailed, high quality 1:6 scale WW2 village complete with Allied Troops, Nazis, and an all female brigade of LA RESISTANCE!!!! made from cheap 1:6 scale WW2 and generic knock off Barbie dolls. The person who made the village was promoted as a man who was savagely beaten by a group of black thugs, to the point he suffered irreversible amnesia from the brain damage he received and the whole thing was a self-made project he came up with to cope/deal with the trauma of losing his memories and the attack itself, since he couldn't afford therapy. The story broke big and got featured in Rolling Stone Magazine as a feature story. It was a huge feel good story and ultimately got made into a documentary.....Where it was revealed that the guy who made it was a closeted gay man who liked to dabble in crossdressing; mostly women's shoes and stockings. And that the beating was done because the guy was retarded enough to tell a bunch of black thugs about his habit of wearing womens' shoes. (Should also note that the guy himself had no memory of his crossdressing or that he was gay and only had his female best friend's word that it was true when he found his secret female shoe stash in his house) The documentary was a hit and got optioned into a movie with Steve Carrell, which came out during Woke 1. As such, the black thugs got turned into white neo nazi thugs and they made a huge deal about it being a hate crime and the guy being crossdresser and focus on the female dolls over the male soldier dolls, with the implied notion that the female dolls were his dream of having a group of fag hag friends. The film flopped and a lot of people pretty much disowned/disavowed ever liking the original photos and art exhibit.
>>223204630>real story is some weird schizo faggot was aggressively flirting with and touching on a group of straight dudes in a bar>they get pissed and kick his ass>movie is about a lovable and quirky oddball who is unfairly targetted by a group of skinheads who beat him near to death out of hatredfuck hollyweird
>>223205351Its crazy how poorly these have aged. Like "Crash"
can’t remember which on cinema oscars special they played this on but it slayed me https://youtu.be/zJoj2qSrO0Q
>>223212211It would be almost impossible to do that
>>223212725>how poorly these have agedUm, acskhually they solved racism forever.
him being a weirdo sex pest alcoholic is honestly way more intriguing. imagine being transformed from being a functional but evil asshole to an inept retard. one extreme to the other. even his skill set was completely transformed, going from competent hobbyist illustrator to someone who can barely play with dolls. the duality of man
>>223204630I wonder what the skin color was of the guys who beat him into a coma.
>>223213082Totally meaningless. The Nepal Mud Floods demonstrate how pointless and uninteresting the human condition is. Your fetishes don't matter, you're going to die.
>>223205148We call it hillarycore
>>223212609He deserved that beating for being a creep
>>223212609>The film flopped and a lot of people pretty much disowned/disavowed ever liking the original photos and art exhibit.Wait people suddenly pretended they never liked the art exhibit?
>>223204630It was clear by then that Robert Zemekis had lost his mind!!!FACT!!!
The American Dad parody of this was pretty good.
>>223206816gay weirdo
>>223214322Kiyoshi Kurosawa is praising Here on the press run for his period movie. Embarrassing.
>>223204630FYI, Steve Carrell uses his wealth to bail out violent felons. Not joking. Look it up. Midget cunt.
>>223206841They chose Steve Carrell because the movie portrays him as this niave innocent. When in reality he was an alcoholic who had troubled past and was a weird off putting guy.
>>223205351But Three Billboards was funny and not obnoxious. Did you even watch it?
>>223214322Based CTM.
>>223204915They were really banking on the 2010s Twitter based absolute adoration of all things LGBT guaranteeing an oscar. No one understood that shit only exists on social media and not in the real world.
>>223206277That's because you are sane.
>>223206816So he was some weird freak that was hitting on teens and got his ass kicked over it, then Hollywood tried to call the guy a hero?
What do you call movies like G20?
>>223205248>in the film they're white nazis who attack him for no reasonThey actually made him a jew in the movie in order to create a reason for the fictitious white nazis to beat him up.
>>223219093Kamalacore.I'd like to see a full list of all the movies greenlighted between 2022-2024 featuring a black woman president.
>>223212789It was the 6th Oscar Special
>>223212725i dont get why people lump crash in with other racebaiting movies. the racism in crash is totally believable compared to the retardation we see in movies today>ludacris and the other dude complaining that white people are scared of them and that THEY should feel scared in a white neighbourhood - while actively looking for someone to carjack>cop is racist because his dad went out of his way to help blacks, then they abandoned him when the state fucked his business - then the black lady on the phone, cackling, denies his father's medical coverage>brendan fraser is as sympathetic as he needs to be to gain their votes>don cheadle thinks all mexicans and south americans are the same retarded culture of macho dopes and constantly mocks them as such
>>223205148>>223205208>>223205351The movie wasn't an example of "cultural pushback". "Cultural pushback" implies that there was a cohesive "pushback" against Trump among the larger portion of American society. Movies don't get made by "the larger portion of American society", i.e. the common people. They get made by the extremely over-privileged, out-of-touch 0.0001% of society known as Hollywood. These movies are an example of "pushback among those in Hollywood". The fact that most of these movies outright flopped further illustrates that the sentiments of "pushback" that motivated the creation of these movies was not in fact shared or sympathized with by the larger portion of American society.
It's weird how the documentary AND the movie left out the fact that this guy made little models of Nazi concentration camps with himself as a Commandant and representations of his attackers as Jew-prisoners. I wonder why the fact gets consistently glossed-over/left out?
>>223206816>In real life, two of the five attackers were still teenagersSo the guy was hitting on (male) teenagers? ...I wonder why that got left out of the narrative.
>>223210272QRD on why?It's not a movie I was interested at all in when it came out, and it's not a movie I'm ever going to be interested in watching. What about it was so egregious that it could be THAT irritating?
>>223210923>the "assailants" didn't get chargedWhat? I only saw this Oscar bait once a few years ago, but isn't the big inspirational climax that he finds the strength to go to court to testify or at least witness them being charged?
>>223204630
>>223221684
>>223221670Yeah, the three adult attackers served jail time. There's multiple people in this thread telling the story incorrectly.
>>223211936>>223216788Three billboards is the closest film on that list to Crash. Patronising bullshit about how everyone can be prejudiced and we should all listen to each other more and maybe hold hands.
>>223222113Anon you are a brain rotted retard
>>223222124You enjoy empty liberal propaganda about a badass hag sticking it to patriarchal institutions like the church and the police while learning the value of listening and forgiveness. You are a child.
>>223204915CWC would probably get a quirky biopic if he didn't rape his mom.
>>223223340There's too much sketchy sex shit that he broadcasted to the entire world even if he didn't. But he'd PROBABLY be a Forest Gump figure in a past life, as he'd simply be forced out of the house and having a real job.
>>223206816dude looks like a less obese John Goodman
>>223205093the ww2 myth can't die soon enough
>>223220833because Crash won best picture that year at the Oscars
