When Hollywood creatives stop running their mouths about their own politics and pushing those politics into every thing they create.

why not try waiting until the film comes out to complain about the political messaging you think it is pushing?

you would think people woulda learned after the Odyssey not to believe the worst of everything based off a quote or casting choice

See? They literally cannot help themselves. They are incapable of breaking away from current day.

I didn't complain about this future film at all, I commented on your made-up maga threads about an innocuous movie scene. And this post is just more gatekeeping on your part anyway. "You can't say anything yet, the movie isn't out." No but the director is talking about it. But you say we're not supposed to talk about that either. So what can we talk about, Mr. Imaginary Maga Hater?

Why the frick are you laughing, I've never said anything about Trump or Epstein on this board. Why are you inventing stuff to be mad about? Stop being dumb.

It's a pattern. Some people here will just lie and claim you said something; there's a damn search function. If someone said something, quote it and respond. Making shite up is for liars and lazy people.

In the second one they say the south was bad and the civil war was over slavery

Nobody cared. But that exact same thing today would be considered “interjecting politics” and this board would likely be pretty upset

1. The point of the movie wasn't that at all, it didn't feel like a bludgeon, or preachy. It didn't make an aggressive moral perspective on that point, it was just a perspective. And it left modern southerners out of its critique.

2. National Treasure was it's own thing, creating its own thing. It wasn't shifting modern politics into some remake or different version of a thing that existed.

3. Since every movie wasn't making heavy political/moral/ethical statements, it didn't feel like a repeated message.


The movie made no real aggressive move against modern people, modern politics, or tried to conflate all people of one kind into one side.

We hadn't entered the age of "everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler" yet.
