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.
Oh super lib, but it's Bluth Company and it has this banger COME MY MINIONS
Also, the film is 100x less Lib/reactionary than the musical, which makes the anti-communism that's kind of dream-like in the film pretty much explicit through some KGB agent as the bad guy instead of undead Rasputin.
I saw the musical in London which just added to the liberalism :chefs-kiss:
I clapped when the romanovs died
This gave me the mental image of someone cheering, hooting, taking off their shirt, and flailing it in circles over their head while shouting "Encore! Encore! Again! Again!" as the Romanovs are gunned down in a musical, and I am all for it :owned:
Do they literally call them KGB? god libs are historically illiterate
It's been a minute and I had a cold when I saw it so I'm not certain but that's how I remember it.
