When the US enters the Vietnam War, it’s confident in its military might, but it soon finds itself struggling with an underestimated enemy, a widening war, and political turmoil at home. North Vietnam has been fighting for an independent and unified Vietnam for decades. As both sides clash in the jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, the war becomes a quagmire in which military power alone cannot secure victory.
the movie portreys all muslims as complicit in rape of European women where the protagonist takes matter into his own hands and kills a family of muslims who conveniently claim they did it because of the Quran.
the producer is Uwe Boll, who is of german origin, so no surprise there. but whats shocking is that the lead actor, Armand Douglas Hammer, is an ashkanazi jew. somehow it was lost on him the possible outcome of the demonization of minorities that his ancestors famously experienced.
The film has not been put on the "Index", making it legal to own or sell to adults.
now imagine if the film was made about epstein, framing all jews as complicit based on their religious texts. would that producer ever be able to work again? would the lead actor be treated the same way as the kid who sent an email saying he doesn't want to work for a jew? or do some people have less worth than others?

Nothing more to say, its a decent movie, mostly shows life in 1930s UK, rise of fascism and a loooooot of gay stuff, so since its pride month i think its a good movie to check out
Axis of Resistance flair bc idk what else fits
"Leaked documents show figures like Brolin, Scooter Braun, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as part of the secretive Dialog group."
Buffet Infinity is a cinematic late-stage accomplishment but, at the risk of sounding up-my-own-butt, not watchable.
It's a bunch of pseudo 90's-or-so commercials with a vague plot. Good stuff but the comercials being cut short for dramatic effect is either tiresome or over my head. Starts out cute but holy shit.
curious to know if theres any videos on what normal life was like living during those moments? Was GDR sanctioned too? if so how did that make life like? any sourced free of american/western and zionist bias?
This is from the 2020 documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq
First, I agree with pretty much everything said here by BE about Boots Riley making a movie with money from one of the top Zionist families in the world. Boots' defense of Megan Ellison is laughable. Yes, many things in the economy can be tied to Israel through 2-3 degrees of separation, but we have to draw the line somewhere. The Ellisons do far more for Zionism than a small independent Israeli production company for example, and I wouldn't agree with that either.

I haven't really seen anything online about the movie's portrayal of China and Chinese workers. The only thing we are told in the movie about China is that it's basically the land of sweatshops and oppressed workers being ruthlessly exploited by companies. Both China and the US are shown as being capitalist shithouses. This is a stereotypical portrayal of China promoted by Western imperialism. The few Chinese workers who have any decent amount of lines in English speak it with exaggerated heavy accents. The Chinese worker who comes to the US barely talks and is mostly just led around by the Americans.
The Chinese factory workers rise up to fight for their rights. This is supposed to be an uplifting pro-labor, pro-union story. The message of the movie is basically that being a worker sucks everywhere. It presents a stereotypical image of China as a hell for workers without any mention or allusion to the fact that quality of life and life expectancy for Chinese people has improved decade on decade, for many years now. If the movie was honest, it would show the reality of life in modern China and not act like it's just another capitalist country where everything sucks. It would also show how in key ways, quality of life is better in China than in the US. The American protagonist sees a montage of American protestors & Chinese workers and says "we're all on one side of the same contradiction".
The workers want to stop using products which cause cancer due to respiratory inhalation. Since this is an American movie, of course they aren't asking for N95's which would effectively protect the workers. They don't even wear surgical masks lol. All they have is bandanas, as if Chinese people haven't been wearing surgical masks, including for pollution, for decades.
I'll also add that the sci-fi/supernatural elements of the film seek to turn the film into a big joke. I'm not saying you can't make a comedy with leftist messaging, but any pro-worker message is buried under all of the spectacle and easily forgotten. Also, the movie's treatment of race is basically reduced to white people are Karen's and that they don't get suspected of shoplifting.
Oh, and the movie has GOT TO BE radical because it has Black women as the protagonists. Oh and the Chinese factory owner is shown to be racist against Black people. At a certain point, the Chinese workers were literally holding up the American woman lol. This is liberal imperialist counter-insurgent trash. Aside from a few clever and funny moments, the movie is awful and dumb as fuck, as I expected it to be. This movie is about as radical as the awful Running Man remake. This movie is basically the film version of AOC's "tax the rich" dress at the Met Gala. Has anyone else noticed this portrayal of China?
