Just got back from Primetime, any other /tv/ anons see it yet? It was pretty funny
>>223393876Won't have time to go see it until Saturday, looking forward to it. Seems like yet another movie that is going to be impossible to discuss on /tv/ though. 10 years ago I think this place would have loved it but there is zero nuance or sense of humour anymore.
What if we made a to catch a predator movie but…bear with me here…the pedophile catcher is the evil VILLAIN and the pedophiles are the sympathetic good guys??!
I'm going to see it this weekend
>>223393876lot's of creepy close-up shots
Why does Hollywood hate Chris Hansen so much? Got me scritchin' the top of my pointed bowling pin shaped skull over here pondering about this.
>>223393876great, another white character for shitskins to obsess over, just what the word needed really
>>223393876Have tickets for Saturday. Honestly, I watched the trailer so much, I am worried I burnt myself out before I even see the movie.
>>223394257not what happens you braindead moron
>>223393876My eyes fucking hurt bro, India part was kino, as was the Rabbi scene, Robby P was very great but I have no idea if Chrissy H is really like that when the cameras off. Decoy Dan was good, but the other sexy chick decoy was the kino-boss, I'll give it 8/10 made me feel bad for pedos
>>223394367its just something to make a movie about to generate internet buzz so hollywood can pretend its relevant
>>223394520>India part was kino, as was the Rabbi scene,QRD?
>>223394649The India part is a flashback to Chris Hansen doing some story about missing children in India. He tries to retell it as some kind of sacred mission against evil because the decoy kid is having second thoughts about the show and the Rabbi is one of the predators, towards the end Hansen is starting to have a mental breakdown and the rabbi guy grabs him and starts yelling about how he has no right to be doing this
>>223394649There's a weird flashback/guided meditation retelling of Hansen's big break story (I think) which was about missing kids in India, I remember hearing about it in the TCAP documentary that was critical of the show that came out not long ago. The Rabbi scene is with a Rabbi predator that gets kinda spooky with Chris and then they have this like soul stare, it was just cool filmmaking.
>>223393876Currently in the theater waiting for it to start.
>>223394725>>223394766Sounds kino. Frustrated I have to wait a month for it to screen down here in Australia. Is it as unsympathetic towards Hansen as everyone imagines? I like the idea of this steadfast crusader against sexual immorality who loses his marbles in the process
>>223394839>Is it as unsympathetic towards Hansen as everyone imagines?It shows him as a guy who starts out as more of an opportunist trying to make ratings, and then the stress of dealing with the show and an affair with his wife makes him go kind of manic and start thinking of himself as a man on a holy mission. Not super sympathetic to him but he does seem like a complex character
>>223393876I saw the trailer and they make it look like there's some insanely dangerous raids with SWAT crashing in. When did that ever happen? Is it just a little dramatized or full on fiction with serial killers and shootouts? Because real life was just a bunch of funny autists AFAIK.
>>223394957It ends with a true story about trying to catch a District Attorney predator, they go to raid his house with a SWAT team because he won't come out, and he shoots himself in the head. I looked it up and it's a true story
>>223394957The assistant da in Texas had a swat team called to his house. He shot himself thoughbeit so there was no shootout
>>223394998Interesting, thanks.
>>223394957The film takes liberties with the TCAP operation, but there was a raid irl they were involved in. Watch the Murphy, Texas episodes if you want to know context. Or don't, and go in blind.
>>223394957In real life the funny autists would walk in, talk to the decoy thinking they were about to get some. She would leave and out would walk Hansen. Then he'd question them a bit and they'd either try to talk their way out of it or break down like bitches. Either way most often they would get up and try to leave. That's when the police would walk in from other rooms to arrest them. So there were cops there, but they'd wait until the pedo would try to leave
>>223395004>shot himselfImagine being an assistant DA and having less mental strength and willpower to live than a random beach guy who's built good.
>>223393876I really don't understand how people can think what Hansen was doing was wrong, especially given how zoomers call everyone a pedo now.
The biggest difference between the movie was that Hanson said curse words. I remember that him self-censoring with "Blank" was one of his most distinctive traits. I wonder if they just wanted to emphasize the taboo subject matter.
>>223395034Pedos think Hansen was wrong, but who cares what they think?
>>223395053On Takedown with Chris Hansen, he is uncensored.
>>223395076yeah but the movie is supposed to be about the TCAP era
>okay, MAYBE they were pedophiles that 100% intended to rape children, but Chris Hansen only did To Catch a Predator for the FAME and MONEY, so who's REALLY the bad guy, huh??
>>223395141God you people are fucking insufferable. I hope you're getting paid to post this slop.
>>223395034They think it’s this insanely deep nuanced brainiac take to fixate on the fact that Chris Hansen was also interested in his show being popular, and getting attention for himself as a journalist. That’s literally it, A24 fans are fucking cattle.
>>223395161No argument then?
>>223395141With how white tcap predators were, it doesn't really matter if you white wash one more.
>>223395062People who can think critically.
>>223395210People who can think critically care what pedos think?Why?
This movie accidentally became a great litmus test for progressive ideologues because they legitimately cannot comprehend how the average person recoils in disgust as they fixate on significantly lesser and ultimately productive and healthy evils while totally ignoring actually heinous acts.
>>223393876>>223394257he's morally gray. good one, huh?
>>223395210The fact that you’ve provided no argument here leads me to believe that your argument hinges upon a broad spectrum of talking points that would ultimately have to initiate itself by convincing me that pedophilia isn’t as bad as I think, or that pedophiles are somehow victims themselves .
>>223393876I have nothing to say about this flick desu, but I stayed towards the end of the credits after everyone else left and got to hear this so that was pretty cool. (Already heard it before, so nice hearing it in the theater.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzxi90e8G1wAnyways, part of the reason I might have instantly forgotten what happened is because TWO N*****S WOULD NOT STOP TALKING. THEY WERE LITERALLY TALKING THE ENTIRE MOVIE. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT INSANITY?
>>223395260A person's attraction does not automatically invalidate the logic of their arguments. But I forgot 4chan has become infested with moralfaggotry.
>>223395260Murder is bad, but it would probably be bad to try to lure a bunch of autistic guys from chatrooms to commit murder and film it for tv.
>>223395363Your example only works if Hansen confronted them after they had sex with children
>>223394839>>223394941I wouldn't even say it's necessarily unsympathetic, it just portrays him as insecure and coping/spiraling as different pressures weigh in on him until he's all fucked up. He's more Marty Supreme-like than even, say, a Citizen Kane arc or something.
>>223395349Pedo logic is a thing. That's what makes tcap interviews so interesting
Does it show genericwhitemale? He was funny.
>>223394998And they even aired in on television, and it blew up into one big controversy with the attorney’s sister condemning how it went down.
>>223395443I don't think so, but it has the cerebral palsy guy. Does anyone know if the Rabbi was based on a real predator, like he got a creepy stare down and had to yell at a guy to sit-down? I tried searching for tcap rabbi, but the rabbi I found from the real show is just some oofy-goofy and not the menacing wrath of YHWH's chosen people that was depicted in the film.
>>223395363>pedophiles are somehow victims themselves.It’s unreal how you managed to state this back to me after I predicted it to your face.Your analogy falls apart because they were never allowed to commit “murder”.A sensationalist journalist doing sensational journalism at the expense of the dregs of society is actually incredibly common, totally uninteresting to anyone but leftist midwits(you), and far, far better than assaulting a child. >>223395349You are the moral faggot my man. I don’t care if these guys were only lonely and retarded, it was funny to watch them suffer and it served a greater public good.
>>223393876just got home from the theater.i give it 9/10. its not quite as negative towards hansen as i expected. it's not your typical film, where it has a neat and clear plot. its more like a stream of consciousness. a bunch of events happening. hansen is kind of excited at first, but eventually things start to go a bit sour, and he needs to get his hands on more extreme predators. well worth the watch in my opinion.
>>223394839It's honestly not as negative towards him as most would expect. I'd say he's portrayed as a tragic guy who lost his way. It isn't cynical about his motivations. His late 90s report on missing children in India is something that genuinely changed his life, lighting a fire within him to protect children and rid the world of what he describes as "an ancient evil". However, this good he wants to do is corrupted by his obsession with his image. Justice is not enough. He wants to be the top rated show on primetime television. He wants to be seen as a hero on the level of his peers at NBC in Afghanistan. He wants his family to be impressed by his work to nullify the damage of his infidelity. These all cause him to go off the rails
I ain't givin' this Jew director a dime. Whens this thing gonna be on primewire?
>>223395551>You are the moral faggot >it served a greater public goodWhy can't you niggers just admit to your sadism without being a pussy about it? I would respect it a great deal more.
>>223395644It also kinda paints him as taking on the role of doing the dark work that would have been done by a torturer in previous eras. In that scene where he's talking about the town pillory and the decoy kid passes back his bracelet, it's like the reality of Hansen's role is too dark for the kid to bear, but he acknowledges its importance.
>>223395565>>223395644> negative towards himI’m not saying you’re saying this, but this doesn’t invalidate the parallel social psychology argument around the film that’s occurring at all. Even if the movie positively portrays him, its existence impugns the necessary evils required to maintain a functioning society.>>223395689I would be interested if it wasn’t so obviously made by a dumb Jew. The decision to aesthetically position the film somewhere between a light Grindhouse and a nightcrawler carbon copy is so lazy and retarded. It should’ve looked like early 2000s digital video, if stylistically pigeonholed at all.Ugly brainless aesthetic. >>223395723Do you not see the contradiction between calling me a moralfag and a sadist at the same? I have a certain degree of empathy for the unfortunate young men who were caught up in the investigations, but I think you’re really underestimating how prevalent online enabled child assault was at the turn of the century and how much the show did to curb that.
>>223395644Yeah, this is a good summation. I imagine Chris Hansen will not like the portrayal, but it doesn't try to make him a "bad guy", he's just a complex focused guy that ends up fucking around with high stakes and many copes.
>>223395806>Even if the movie positively portrays him, its existence impugns the necessary evils required to maintain a functioning society.How exactly? Seems like a crazy statement to make about a film you haven't even seen.
>>223395806>its existence impugns the necessary evils required to maintain a functioning society.Such as? The necessary evils of chasing primetime ratings?
>>223395806>It should’ve looked like early 2000s digital videoIf you'd watch the film, you'd know that large parts of it do look like that. They even do a portion of a fake To Catch a Predator episode edited exactly like the original show. It's aesthetics are very faithful to the time period
>>223395826>>223395867The content of the film doesn’t matter in the case of either side of the argument.I’m not saying the film intends to do this, I’m saying it’s mere existence has a coherent traceable impact on the social fabric that can either be read positively as a will to truth or negatively as subversion.Again, I’m not even taking a stance here, I’m just saying the arguments people are having aren’t as partisan, transitory, and superficial as they might seem if you’re just interested in film, they’re actually deeper and more multifaceted than any kind of quibbles you could have over what the film itself might intent to mean.>>223395893Well that’s neat. I might torrent it.
>>223394520>made me feel bad for pedosYou are a pedo yourself of course you’re gonna self insert
>>223395349>admitting to being an evil pedo with no morals You know you deserve to die right?
>>223395723I think pedos should be subjected to sadistic brutal humiliation and torment yes, and i think everyone should think the same I don’t get why anyone wouldn’t think that
>>223396067I'm serious, made me feel bad for pedos, like who cares if an Iraq veteran wants to get a 13 year old boy to suck whipped cream off his cock, it's probably yummy
>>223395806Separating moralism with sadism is a rookie mistake. The two traits are not necessarily contradictory.Those who understand that are above average intelligent.Remember this guy from Berserk?
>>223395931You're a pretentious retard. You saw a trailer you didn't like and decided the movie is pro-pedophile, then you're presenting that at some kind of insane high level esoteric knowledge way beyond the comprehension of someone who actually watches movies.
>>223396091Where did Anon admit to being an evil pedo with no morals?>>223396118Why?>>223396133>Separating moralism with sadism is a rookie mistake. The two traits are not necessarily contradictory.They go hand-in-hand.
>>223394257I mean look at how he incompetently handled the onision situation. The internet wanted him to succeed and he fucked it up. Should have exclusively focused it on his era after to catch a predator when he wasnt working with a proper crew anymore.
>>223393876I liked the scene where Hansen points at the decoy's dick as he's on the phone with the district attorney
>do you like playing with yourself?>take your cock out>do you like touching your cock?>why don't you come over and make me hard?Yesss Chris. Yessssss!
>>223396153>why Evil people should be punished by the righteous, sadism should be reserved to be used by good people on the wicked, as a cathartic reward for their morality
I wish they could have had my boy Lorne in there, but I did laugh that they somehow managed to reference "me, my mommy, and my daddy".
>>223396226A good person wouldn't want to do that, thoughbeit. In fact, a good person would be disgusted by that idea and disgusted by anyone who supported it.
>>223396259A good person hates evil with burning passion and causes as much suffering to the wicked as possible
>>223396118Consensual child sex is OKAY. People who say it's evil are the evil ones.
>>223396146I literally invoked will to truth to make it as intentionally low brow and accessible as possible. I could not have be more open and less pretentious. I am noticing you have nothing to say here other than NO ITS SUPER NUANCED AND COMPLICATED AND INTERESTING THAT A SENSATIONAL JOURNALIST DID SENSATIONALIST JOURNALISM. It isn’t.You have no argument.A24 is popcorn trash. >>223396133Sure but he’s calling me a sadist in a derogatory gay way. He’s upset about it.
>>223395644Are you guys insane? He's portrayed as a complete nutcase and his work is portrayed as cynically as possible. His show's fans are either bloodthirsty sadists like the plane guy or yokel "I'll have the Fogle special" retards like the town cops, while he himself has mental breakdowns everywhere and allows himself to get talked down to by a child-fucker rabbi. And then he's framed as being responsible for the death of the poor DA who has the decoy sadly singing in his ear.
>>223396289Do you actually believe this though? Maybe in a vacuum you’d have some way to claim this, but WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY.
>>223396283A good person doesn't perpetuate suffering.
>>223396332>IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON IM A GOOD PERSON No.
>>223396283I agree, what's your address so I can come punish you faggot.
>>223396366Are you being silly or is this a gotcha in your mind?
>>223396311>He's portrayed as a complete nutcase and his work is portrayed as cynically as possible.That's just regular showbiz, baby. The NBC guy even plays himself in the movie. >His show's fans are either bloodthirsty sadists like the plane guy or yokel "I'll have the Fogle special" retards like the town copsThat's his fans, not him, and also not inaccurate. There's special retards ITT justifying sadism and that's what TCAP tapped into. >while he himself has mental breakdowns everywhere and allows himself to get talked down to by a child-fucker rabbi.Rule of cool, I'll allow it. That scene was kino
>>223396365I'm not the moralfag, you are. I didn't make the rules. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
>>223396413>The people who actualize the sadism I benefit from are evil but not me.Jewish post.
>>223396416>IM EVIL AND YOU ARE GOODI know
>>223396391No I am being serious, give me your address fucking faggot.
>>223396332nature is cruel deal with it you hippie commie
>>223396416Saarpost
>>223394367It's trashy low brow televisionReality TV is for idiots
>>223396332A good T cell eats the cancer, lest the body die
>>223396416>you’re a moral fag>im a good person What? You can’t just change what the words mean.
>>223396441I'm sorry that you have been made vicious and not virtuous, truly, that is a lamentable condition and I hope you recover soon.
>>223396449Based off your own morals, which you explicitly cling to, this isn't true.
>>223396413>That's just regular showbiz, baby.You guys are genuine retards. I don't understand how anyone could watch the final act especially and think the movie was trying to be accurate or in any way fair to Hansen. Someone please try to defend the "decoy serenades the DA even though the US army is pointing floodflights at his house" scene in particular. Which, of course, had to come after Chris's "you're either with me or the pedophile" line.
>>223396311>His show's fans are either bloodthirsty sadists like the plane guy or yokel "I'll have the Fogle special" retards like the town copsThat says something about who the show appeals to, but it doesn't say anything about Chris Hansen himself. He's clearly weirded out by the guy on the plane but tries to be polite with him>And then he's framed as being responsible for the death of the poor DA who has the decoy sadly singing in his ear.It's not solely his responsibility. It's the responsibility of the entire crew. But is that not true? Do you not agree that aggressively pursuing the DA and overstepping their usual boundaries because they knew it'd be a big catch led to his death?
>>223396494>thinks moralfags are good personsayy lmao fucking smoothbrain faggots in this thread. Go back to plebbit where you belong nigger.
>>223396451I’m not him. But I’ll meat you >>223396500you guys really are the new puritans >>223396503They don’t believe it, they just want you to.
>>223396503>and think the movie was trying to be accurate or in any way fair to Hansen.Who said that? Why would you even care about this?
>>223396501by your own admission you are immoral, you have no say in what’s good or evil because you don’t believe in either
>>223394839Get out of my country.
>>223396534>im sorry for your condition and i hope you get better>OMG YOU FUCKING PURITANodd
>>223396519>Do you not agree that aggressively pursuing the DA and overstepping their usual boundaries because they knew it'd be a big catch led to his death?Who gives a FUCK, nigger? You don't want pedophiles in law enforcement dead? And I hate to break it to you, but the decision to arrest the DA didn't actually come down to some random producer in real life. They had the transcripts and chat logs. The guy wasn't some poor entrapped victim, however that would work.>>223396539Read half the posts ITT and buy glasses.
>>223396576I didn't claim to be immoral, I implied I'm amoral. Learn the difference, nigger.
>>223396588Fuck crawled up your arse? A movie-loving man can't enjoy his promised kino in this Antipodean paradise?
>>223396576Seriously give me your adress so I can rid the world from you, you are an absolutely abhorrent cancer on this planet. If I could I'd administer chemo to you and all the ones like you.
>>223396596They are more concerned with the rights of the guilty than the safety of the innocent. Gonna see a lot more of that in the new brown west.
>>223396596>Read half the posts ITT and buy glasses.No u. We're talking about the movie and its portrayal of reality television, you're worried about what Hansen is gonna write in his diary or some shit.
This thread is once again proof that pedo-haters are the worst people on the planet. Never trust a pedo-hater, not even once.
>>223395062Nah. Actual pedos love tcap for it glorifying them for being cowards. They'll hate women online, say Supergirl is bad for saying something perceivable negative about Christian dads, promote bondage and post that image of an old guy marrying a kid giving her a doll and text that the marriage lasted.Real pedos are the first to say hurt others. That is their ethos in life. They join the herd. They tuck their shirt in and do their rape via stealth, preying on holemess etc. pretending to be the good guys.
>>223396648>Gonna see a lot more of that in the new brown west.It's the absolute opposite of this but you won't be able to see it since you're a sub 80 IQ nigger yourself.
>Bro that movie is jewish pedophile deep state propaganda to normalize pedophilia and slander chris hansen!>See the movie? No I haven't I just guessed that from the trailer and my retarded worldview
>>223396653I really don't understand it. Again, the scene where the decoy serenaded the DA while the Indian Rape Monster leered at Chris was insane. >>223396653The other post I replied to in the post you're quoting here is claiming that the portrayal was honest. Why are you even jumping into this?
>>223396636>autistic evil pedo screeching You’re mad because you know I’m right, you hate me because I’m righteous
>>223396332Yep. The guy you are conversing with is a degenerate coward. There are plenty of them unfortunately and they make lots of excuses for the wrong they do too.
>>223396636You understand this isn’t imposing or impressive at all, right? It’s pathetic. No scary, powerful or influential people think like this, it’s the exclusive worldview of the meek. >>223396677Why even post this. I don’t know what you’re communicating to me.
>>223396678We can talk about all of the bizarrely retarded parts if you want. >"hey man, I'm your best friend, but I'm going to tell you that your role on one of the biggest shows in America is worthless because you were only in part of the promo(?)">this is apparently meant to be taken sufficiently seriously that we waste even more time later on the decoy calling that shitty friend to apologize for being snarky in response >all apparently in service of the decoy turning on Hansen at the end for no reason
>>223396707>pussy won't give his address even though he thinks he is righteousAgain you are scum of the earth, right up there with Epstein himself who I bet you rave about 24/7 and how evil he was. I just want you to join him.
>>223396692>I really don't understand itWhat's the matter? Too DEEP for ya?YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
>>223396737Can you provide any examples or did you just post to let the class know you’re a good boy? Also where did the precious minerals in the device you’re posting on come from?
>>223393876Do any specific predators from the show appear?Is my wigga, David Schumacher, in this?
>>223396745>retard doesnt get itJesus I take it back you aren't a sub 80 IQ nigger you're actually a sub 60 IQ nigger.
>>223396678Putting someone innocent on trial even with the intent to find them innocent is itself a crime. There’s really no point in talking to you people though. You’ve created generational enemies and we both want each other dead.
>>223396596>You don't want pedophiles in law enforcement dead?My question is "do you think they are responsible," not, "do you care." You were saying that the movie is dishonestly trying to frame them as responsible for what happened. Whether you care about it or not, I think it's a fair assessment that they were responsible for it.>And I hate to break it to you, but the decision to arrest the DA didn't actually come down to some random producer in real life.Neither did it in the film? There's plenty of screen time spent on collecting chat logs from this mystery man and trying to bait him into coming to the sting house. They don't make the call to arrest him until they know who he is and get him on the phone. The producer's call was only in regard to shoving off the rest of their schedule to go on an unplanned excursion to Texas. She was not the one who said to arrest him
>>223396756The whole point of that character was that he just wanted to be an actor and got roped into being a pedo hunter, which is not really the same thing as acting on a tv show. He was thrust into a high-pressure role he never really had the personality for. That's why he ultimately returns the bracelet to Hansen who he previously idolized and tried to emulate.
>>223396778He's not in it, but they definitely take some lines from decoys and preds and mix them together. The cerebral palsy guy is in it, but they have the boy decoy confront him instead of the girl decoy. It's kinda vaguely familiar but there's not, like, a 1:1 recreation of a specific pedo encounter, other than I guess the DA.
>>223396811>Putting someone innocent on trial even with the intent to find them innocent is itself a crime.wtf are you talking about and what weird-ass justice system do you think exists
>>223396782Oh the idiot can’t comprehend my giga-brain? Just as I foresaw!
>>223396778The only real one they portray is the DA. Every other one is a blend of predators from the show.
>>223396834Look up the definition of the word “metaphor”. It’ll help you understand.
>>223396857Nope, that didn't help. I'm afraid you're gonna have to expand on your retardation.
>>223396866Run your fingers along the stitches where your little cock used to be. The answer is in that sensation.
>>223393876Americans and their tv show used to baffle me and they still do. There is a reality show about catching pedos. Another one about making fun of a demented person. And then there's one about dna testing if a child belongs to a man or not. Here in India (or anywhere else on the world for that matter) this degeneracy would never be allowed.
>>223396866Basically he's saying that making a movie exploring the moral implications of our impulses to sadistically punish guilty people is wrong because he likes sadism and the only explanation is a jewish conspiracy
>>223396835No you really can't. You're a short-sighted mongrelized monkey, the exact reason why western civilization and everything good in it is going to the trash heap of history. You and everyone like you are a mass of corruption too stupid to understand why certain things were constructed as they were by your betters and now hellbent on breaking them appart to satisfy your retarded sense of justice which in truth is nothing but your monkey brained bloodthirst. Enjoy your brownified west when the horde of niggers are digging gold from your fat retarded bald head, you helped making it happen.Braindead evil shit.
>>223396813It led to his death because he got caught. He was responsible for his own illegal and immoral actions. Again, the fucking decoy serenades him while he sadly comments on how he just wanted to watch musicals with him, and then the Indian Rape Demon leers at Chris after he shoots himself. The film is being as blatant as possible with you.>The producer's call was only in regard to shoving off the rest of their schedule to go on an unplanned excursion to Texas. She was not the one who said to arrest himI'm starting to wonder if we watched the same movie. The cops are all arguing with the chief about "procedure" and "doing things by the book" until she starts ominously walking along the room talking about how the DA is "wiping his myspace" and "we need to get him now or he'll get away forever." The call to raid his house is clearly placed at the feet of TCAP, and the raid itself is cartoonishly evil in its portrayal. >>223396816The friend didn't mention any of that. He just called him a shitty nobody because a promo (of the decoy's first appearance) only showed a few seconds of him. In a promo. It's especially ironic given how popular the decoys ended up being.
>>223396902Yeah, I get that part, I'm just wondering how anyone could come up with this>Putting someone innocent on trial even with the intent to find them innocent is itself a crime.And think they're making sense. Like does this nigga think only guilty people get trials? And we execute the judge and jury anytime someone is found innocent?
>>223396894Sounds like a nice place. You should stay there.>>223396903Not one word of substance. What is your contention? I’m listening.
>>223396923Look up the definition of the word “metaphor”. It’ll help you understand.
>>223393876I would never pay money to watch a movie like this on a big screenNo majestic landscapes, no special effects, no action scenes, what the hell's even the point
>>223396913>and the raid itself is cartoonishly evil in its portrayal.Huh, that's a genuinely odd reaction and characterization of it. Cartoonishly evil in what way? They just came to arrest a powerful member of law enforcement. Were you feeling bad for the pedophile or something? That's weird.
>>223393876I saw it and let me just say right now, the thing I hated the most was the fucking lighting. If this is how movies are gonna be lit from now on holy shit I'm gonna just stop watching them
>>223394839You're in the movie, you're the guy on the plane.
>>223396913>The cops are all arguing with the chief about "procedure" and "doing things by the book" until she starts ominously walking along the room talking about how the DA is "wiping his myspace" and "we need to get him now or he'll get away forever."I'm starting to wonder if we watched the same movie as well. The cops were already gearing up to do the raid at that point. She pressured them into acting faster than they should have, but they were literally already loading their guns and getting ready to do the raid.
>>223397000Nigger, they had helicopters buzzing around while the floodlights illuminated tables full of automatic weapons, the producer hurrying about "putting cameras on guns," and night-vision POV shots of them storming the house like it held Bin Laden. The actual, real-life raid was at fucking 3:00 PM in the day. Are you guys sentient?
>>223396969Usually a metaphor has some real-world sense to it though. It's like "don't bite the hand that feeds" or "there's more than one way to skin a cat". I don't just go "it's rainy if my dog jumps over your cat and then we make soup" and then explain it with "it's a metaphor".
>>223395034Cause you are retarded
>>223397068>The actual, real-life raid was at fucking 3:00 PM in the dayYou're right, that would've been a much better climax. I wonder why they didn't do that instead.
>>223397062The chief was, and the others were all arguing with him about procedure, doing things by the book, etc and trying to talk him down. Then the producer stepped in. That was the entire point of the scene. For what other reason do you think they had her slow-walk across the room monologuing about the predator erasing his online presence (because they apparently didn't archive anything)?
>>223396930>Sounds like a nice place. Yeah it is. But how did you deduce that from my comment about strange and degenerate American reality tv?>You should stay there.That's my choice really.
>>223396913>It's especially ironic given how popular the decoys ended up being.You'll note that not a single decoy ended up doing any kind of notable acting work afterwards. They are forever defined by their role as decoys
>>223397107If you're going to turn a standard SWAT raid at 3:00 PM into a midnight siege with helicopters buzzing a floodlight-illuminated house with Seal Team 6 charging in, then what's the point of arguing that it has anything to tell us about the real events and people?
>>223397057Was he a big guy? Based or cringe?
Stayed after my shift at da theater to watch it, just finished. Holy shit it was amazing, 10 times better than I expected. This is only the third time a movie has caught me this off guard this year, I think it might be my favorite release of 2026 so far. The sound design was really something special all the weird sounds in the tense scenes of flies buzzing around or far away dogs barking really added to the uneasiness
>>223397151I'm convinced you guys just don't understand movies. This is boring, I'm gonna go eat snizz
>>223397176Inorganic marketing shill post
>>223397164It's Creed from The Office being based and cringe, yes he's a big guy
>>223396902You are incredibly Jewish, yes. You’re missing the critical context that this is not a work of well-scrutinized legal philosophy but a popcorn movie for impressionable retards operating in a sphere where every idea stands in lieu of another.You can like the Jewish propaganda, but that’s exactly what it is. Classic culture of cirtique. I don’t even fully disagree with the critique, Hansen is a diva who uses child abuse to enshrine himself. >>223397076How many people need to explain this to you? You can use investigation of someone’s actions as a vector to tarnish their character for your own ulterior motivations while still clearing them of meaningful wrongdoing. (Ironically (for you), this goes beyond the metaphor and happens frequently in the real world, and is a literal crime.)The point of this character study is to do that to TCAP and, moreover, to do that to what it represents which is, roughly, white heuristics over jewish neuroticism. >>223397204Has anyone ever proved this actually happened here?
