3 posts up, you have a poster calling someone a pedophile for not wanting to watch the movie.


No, that's not what is happening "3 posts up" at all. He called the poster a pedophile for claiming the movie is fantasy. YOU are lying about that poster's statement to justify your unreasonable views of this movie.

Someone calling this movie "fantasy" is pretty suspect tbh. It clearly isn't a fantasy at all. That's a very alarming statement from that poster. Indefensible, really. But here you are defending it.

Again, this is clearly a problem you need to address in your own biases, and not a problem "Sound of Freedom" and people highlighting child trafficking need to address at all.

All of my views about the movie are reasonable, and the movie can still be a fantasy despite child trafficking and certain aspects of the story being real i.e. Ballard didn’t personally run into a jungle and kill anyone to rescue any children, yet that’s exactly what happens in the movie. Pure fantasy.

I’m not watching it because every far-right nut job I know is telling me I need to, and then calling people pedophiles for skipping it. I’m don’t seek validation from that crowd, and I don’t need to watch this schlock to know human trafficking is a global issue that needs a light shined on it.


Exactly this. I didn’t care one way or another about this movie but it seemed it was mostly the far right wackos pumping it up, so that was a huge red flag. I don’t even care if the story is bullshite as long as they get the right message across, but the controversy around the guy who made it and the fully sold out empty theaters and questionable financial backing means I will just avoid it altogether.

Froman you keep watching MSM and listening to your white liberal friends. Nothing is political in the movie its about human and child trafficking plain and simple. I actually saw the movie. People like you listen to the bullshite and believe it. I bet you still wear a mask. Lol

You know what the sad part is this really happened in the USA not the jungles of Central America. I guess they tried to do it this way five years ago hoping that one of the major movie studios or streaming services like Netflix or Amazon would pick it up and give it financial backing to get it on the big screen or in people's homes. Nope. The MSM wanted nothing to do with it. I wonder why? Hollywood, Disney, etc. the groomers main attractions for pedo's and sickos.

These are facts and the reason most of those people don't want to watch the movie is the same reason a roach runs when you hit the light switch. It shines a light on them and their actions

Nope. If this were the standard, every "true story" movie would be a fantasy.

Yeah. Seems like this is generally accepted. If it's not, it certainly should be.

I haven't seen so many posters get so bothered by a movie. Trying to claim it a Q conspiracy. Only the so called far right has watched it and then claiming they bought an untold amount of tickets to pump up sales.

It has gone so bad in this nation that people are eat up with politics to the point that they are miserable and they believe what people tell them. Instead of listening to themselves and make your own decisions.

It's a freaking movie and nothing else.

Yes, it is generally accepted that films based on a true story have to change some parts of the story for a variety of reasons. For example, having one central character play the roles of multiple characters so the story flows better.

This does not make them fantasy.

Yet they can't point to any legitimate evidence of this. Only statements from proven liars, while somehow also claiming this movie is the fantasy.

I bet not one of these people actually saw the movie or bothered to drive to a movie theater and actually confirm this. Hey if CNN says this it must be true.

You’d be surprised how many people defending this movie haven’t seen it either.

They tell you exactly which parts are real and which are fake right on their website. They haven't made any effort to claim the events happened exactly as presented with no liberties taken to make a better movie.

If only. SOF is different, and the only reason it’s made any money at all is because it’s become a right-wing “stick it to the liberals” virtue-signaling mission. I’m sorry to hurt you guys’ feelings, but it’s true.

Hell, I don’t even have an issue with the movie, and will probably watch it one day when it’s on a streaming service, but it has been 100% politicized by right-wing pundits from day 1. Hell, it got my beloved MAGA mother out of the house and to a movie theater in the middle of the summer, and she would only do that to stick it to the liberals. It is what it is

Your link had no mention of any of this film being based on something that happened in the USA, which is what I asked about

So, FLBoo is just another a-hole that is full of shite.
I appreciate the link

I’ve heard nothing of this
We just had a link provided that detailed the story and creative liberties taken, all of which I have no problem with. There was no mention of this being a story of saving human trafficking victims here.

What has made you come to the conclusion that this was based on events that happened in the USA?

You missed the part about the US border? The guy started doing this full time specifically because of his work with DHS.
