Movies Favorite movie with politics the opposite of yours

The framing is still downtrodden small area resisting imperialism, in the name of democracy and freedom. I'm sure you could find an example just nothing really comes to mind as they are few and far between.

How many times have you tried to immigrate into North Korea and got rejected?

It is not a documentary and you have your innocent villagers also.

like i said i enjoy the movie but as you stipulated it has politics or themes that are the opposite of mine
the pacing is great, never a dull moment. it is beautiful. and the actors all do very well.

but it is opposite of my views. and its not a matter of innocent or not. thats not my issue

You think those people were not bloodthirsty, insane and uneducated by modern standards?

thats not my problem with it. of course they were bloodthirsty and uneducated compared to modern people, but so was everyone else.
it was a different world.

tbf Mel Gibson movies rarely treat historical accuracy with anything but contempt. I could also say Braveheart for this thread (it was already mentioned).

Braveheart did, the difference is there are fewer sources the case of the originally mentioned movie and it is set during peak crazyness when they maximized the sacrifices because of bad weather, enough sacrifices supposed to help agriculture. That is why they assumed the Spanish that arrived were gods.

What democracy? Leonidas is a king.

Are you a Yarvin guy?

Athens was the primary organizer of the Greek resistance, but I will concede the Spartans are the ones who got the spotlight so democracy is ancillary here.

I'm not specifically a fan of Yarvin but I'd probably agree with him a lot more than Locke and Rousseau.

Right now it's Elysium. It's a communist fantasy. The rich live on a space station paradise and have a technology that can keep them young and healthy forever, and which they won't share. The rest of humanity live in squalor on an environmentally ruined earth, and are treated with utmost callous. You have the psychopathic South African villain. But it's a fun movie and Blomkamp does sci-fi well.

What do you agree with when it comes to Yarvin's views?

Toy Story. I don’t believe toys should be coming to life when we aren’t around
