Been awhile since we've done this thread, and it's always fun. Here are some of my picks:
-
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) is really bad. Will Smith's inspirational moment is going to the New York Stock Exchange and seeing all the happy rich guys in suits walking around, and wanting to be like them. Having to do stuff like brown-nose executives, sleep in train station bathrooms and pull his son out of daycare due to lack of money are presented not as flaws of the system but evidence of Smith's smart bootstraps-oriented thinking. This movie is the Mein Kampf of liberalism.
-
Air (2023) is really bad too. Literally a feature-length Nike commercial coupled with a fuckton of Michael Jordan worship, the message being that a bunch of rich guys deserved to get even richer because they signed a sneaker deal. The closing 5 minutes of the movie are a "where are they now" montage showing how much money all the Nike executives made, yay!
-
Anastasia (1997), which portrays the Russian Revolution as the result of a wizard's curse and communism as bad because it got in the way of the Romanovs living in big palaces and wearing fancy dresses.
-
The Post (2017), about a wealthy, heroic girlboss newspaper executive who makes the heroic decision to...uhh...not block the publication of a story that would expose the lies of a corrupt president threatening our democracy (take THAT drumpf)
post more.
Every single Evangelion Rebuild movie is liberal soylent. Completely fucked the original meaning of EoE and replaced it with "MUH GRINDSET, EXISTENTIALISM AND NUCLEAR FAMILY GOOD!!"
Rebuild #3 is one of the dumbest scripts ever put to film - any genre, any medium. It also makes Misato literally the dumbest person in the entire franchise, contrary to all prior characterization. "Literally the only thing we need to do to stop a new apocalypse is to stop Shinji from getting in the fucking robot. Shinji doesn't like being in the robot. Either two minutes of conversation, or shooting him dead, would solve the problem permanently. I'm good at both convincing him of things and of shooting my loved ones dead, so either would work OK. I know, I'll take a third option and not say anything and leave him alive and put him in a position where he feels he needs to get in the fucking robot! I'm a genius!"
