Im refering to movies that have leftist politics/ have a good mesagge but boring plots, bad dialogue or bad acting
I love how despite being one of the biggest box office successes of all time no one remembers a single thing about it. I always confuse it with the last airbender as well
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
It's like 80% schlock and filler, 20% a valid criticism of how the western control of trade and financial capital is rife with contradictions that enable fascists to take power.
The prequels unironically being George Lucas doing the political backstory for how a Galactic Republic falls into fascism is so good. For Star Wars. It's genuinely this hugely planned coup that involves the banks, the military, emergency war powers etc.
It's the silly movie series about wizards with laser swords and then the first prequel movie is like "The space wizards must attend a negotiation to deal with the dispute regarding the taxation of trade routes" and you know you're in for good shit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trotsky
Montreal West High School student Leon Bronstein believes that he is the reborn incarnation of the socialist revolutionary Leon Trotsky, whose birth name was Bronstein. Shortly after he starts to work in his family's clothing factory, he attempts to unionize the workplace with such actions as a hunger strike. He is pulled from his upper-class private school by his father and sent to the public school system. There, he continues his quest to live out Trotsky's activism as he attempts to unionize the students, as he is pitted against the strong-willed principal Mr. Berkhoff. Meanwhile, he seeks romance with an older McGill University graduate student, Alexandra.[1][2]
Jay Baruchel plays Trotsky kid, and at the end of the movie he meets a bald guy called Vladimir illych ulyanov
No one is talking about this consequence of climate change :bird-screm-2:
my hottest take was when i said i didnt really enjoy snowpiercer, the super shakey cam during action scenes just took me out of the movie so badly. i remember more of that than i do the actual movie
I remember not liking it but I was a lib at the time when it came out and I think the class-based politics really got to me. I’ve been meaning to check it out again.
The Day After Tomorrow
“Tell her how you feel.”
“We have to outrun the cold!”
The CGI wolves did it for me. The rest was okay slop but the damned wolves took me out of it.
Same with the murder monkeys in Ad Astra. Could have lived without that.
+1 to this. It's kinda libby left though.
"Mexico controls the border we currently want to escape through, so now we have to apologize to them"
Joker
Literally about accidentally starting a proletariat uprising against the billionaire owners of Gotham who don’t care about the sick, the mentally ill, the homeless and so on. But chuds cling onto the part where a white guy loses it for being a special snowflake and getting offended :joker-troll:
i didn't like Alphaville or made in USA
and breathless has really bad audio design
Shit, it turns out we don’t have the same taste in everything after all.
Assault on Wall Street lol

He just calmly rolls grenades towards the bankers while they just stand around
https://youtu.be/72QFqOeV3Nc
The banker talks about how old money is looked upon as American heroes even though they committed genocide and fueled war.
I have vague memories of "The Battleship Potemkin" being kinda boring. There's some pretty good scenes in it though.
