    also watched it recently and i agree. my partner thinks it was suppressed because it had some messaging that was incompatible with peak Cold War

    and yeah i guess that was an era where the best you could hope for is a benevolent monarch. no Free Yeomen Republics or anything to be seen

      I was super surprised to see that critics pan it on rotten tomatoes 58%, my ass.

      It's kind of a mixed bag, I've noticed. Because on the one hand conservatives love the anti-tax messaging, but they hate the give to the poor messaging. So they don't know what to do about it. Personally, I think that leftists have a lot learn from the story's ability to transform criminals into heroes in the mind of the masses. If you haven't seen Lucio, I very much recommend checking it out. Lucio Urtubia was behind the funding of a significant chunk of the leftist movements of the 20th century.
