The Pursuit of Happyness 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.
Ready Player One.
World is a fuck. People are addicted to VR copium loaded with bazinga nostalgia references because there is no imaginable future of anything else for them. Stale :lmayo: ego-insert protagonist embraces his epic destiny and does absolutely fucking nothing to change anything except now he rules the status quo. Bazinga!
If the sequel ever became a movie it'd be even more liberalism because it's a giant apologia treatment for corporate surveilliance states, psychological manipulation tricks, and of course the liberal fever dream revenge fantasy classic of "I guess you ungrateful rabble don't appreciate the genius of the billionaires so the billionaires are going into space now and they're taking their harem with them."
The sequel also has purely cynical liberal tokenism. "Oh, you thought my characters acted a bit transphobic in the last book? Well here's a trans character."
There is room in the bazinga writer's masturbatory waifu harem for a trannnnsssss. :capitalist-woke:

Still waiting for your truth about Ready Player One, bucko. :jordan-eboy-peterson:

I can't believe the wrecker came into the comfy movie thread.
:logo:
Not only a wrecker, but a sloppy one. This is the wrong comment chain, genius.

Comrade Amogus would like to hear your Ready Player One take before you are banned and make your next cringe wrecker account. :sus-soviet:

You are qualified to make an excellent Zizek review of the film, then. :zizek-joy:

Great review. I reference things a lot, but I try to find things the other person likes when I do it, and can just talk normally if someone has no shared media or just doesn't like it.

Unironically, not watching the film can be great for reviews. The :citations-needed: review of Hillbilly Elegy follows the Zizek model as well, and it's great.
At this point it's been so built up I want to see what the truth is! Mods need to give him enough time to compose this mind-bending take :galaxy-brain:
Tell us about Ready Player One or post hog
:shinji-screm:
What a weird bit. On the brightside you are just a freak, you aren't pretending to be a real leftist. Anyway good luck with your raw meat cubes or whatever the current "rugged male" thing is.
