Theres been a lot of talk about this film and my own thoughts have been pretty conflicted regarding how to weigh the good and bad aspects of it, and I think this critique does a good job at addressing a lot of the things ive had problems with the film, mainly its underlying liberal rhetoric and the shortcomings of its American-centric narratives. Dont get me wrong I think its a good film and all, but theres some very real limitations to its overall commentary that I think we all need to be thinking about seriously.
The general charging them for the snacks was such a good bit, and I loved that they kept bringing it back up.
Overall I thought the movie was good. A bit :LIB: I suppose, but aside from outright saying “The only way to prevent this is armed communist revolution” I don’t know what more they could’ve done. I guess maybe have the President be a bit less of a Trump allegory. But mostly it felt like it was made by people who are frustrated and scared because we’re all going to fucking die, which I respect because I’m also frustrated and scared because we’re all going to fucking die.
