Thinking about watching it tonight. I don't feel like getting preached to or lied to while wanting to watch a "historical" movie. I want it to be a good movie and want to enjoy it.

Is it propogandish I guess is what I'm asking. I know I'll get the "oh just watch it and shut up" replies.. not being fragile, just not in the mood for that stuff. I didn't read any threads about it on here, didn't want any spoilers.

Hard to tell.

The audio is so crappy you can't hear what the actors are saying. Everyone is whispering until they are not. The audio production is incredibly bad and my hearing is normal. I recommend turning on the closed caption to catch any words you miss. I didn't and had a bad experience with the movie.

A friend of mine who I consider pretty smart said they tried to rewrite history. He's a bit political and may be exaggerating.. so I wanted to ask here.

I did it mind it and, although into history, did not expect a 100% recreation of truth. It is entertainment

More like how a government controls people movie

I watched it this past weekend. In no way do I feel I was getting preached to.

IMO it was a good movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Seriously

And no, it didn’t seem politically slanted to me. I mean to say there wasn’t really any overreaching agenda

If you have to ask this question you're probably such a sensitive snowflake that you'll find a reason to be offended by anything

But to answer your question - in short...no it's not politically slanted. There are some political things in there because it's a story about his life.

Oh hell no. The Napoleon movie is a bucket of shite.

Oppenheimer is not bad. Its not preachy. He was accused of being a communist. It is left grey as to whether he actually was. And they dont harp on why communism is shitty.

Its a good film with good acting. Its not The Godfather, but its not woke.

Mate do what me Julie and I did - the "BarbEnheimer" double feature. Barbie is more political than Opps.
