I wish that the humans in Avatar won and were able to take all the precious metals. Humans on earth were suffering and needed the metals to solve the energy crisis and the blue people weren't using them. Kinda a waste to just let them sit there doing nothing when the humans could use them to help people.
I’ve been thinking about this lately—why does modern propaganda feel so exhausting to sit through compared to older stuff?
When you look back at older films, whether it’s Soviet cinema like Battleship Potemkin, classic Hollywood or even 80s Cold War hype like Top Gun, they were genuinely great movies. You might completely disagree with the politics behind them, but the filmmaking was still incredible. They knew how to hide the message inside something entertaining. The pacing was sharp, the emotional beats worked, and the visuals actually pulled people in.
Now when a movie tries to push a strong political or ideological message, it often feels painfully obvious. Everything feels flat, preachy, and weirdly lifeless. Instead of telling a compelling story and letting the message land naturally, a lot of scripts feel like they’re trying to lecture the audience. It ends up feeling more like an expensive HR training video than an actual movie.
So what changed? Did director lose the ability to make propaganda that’s actually compelling because everything is run by corporate committees now? Or has the internet made people too skeptical and media-aware to buy into these kinds of narratives the way audiences used to?
I don’t buy the idea that only liberals can create great art.
​
I strongly disagree with the ideology behind The Birth of a Nation and Triumph of the Will, but they still had a major impact on film history. And Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is widely seen as great literature even though his views weren’t really liberal
​
Also idea that that only empathetic people can create great art is ridiculous.

If the current nationalist government eventually fails on the economy or jobs (much like Congress did), will the resentment turn against Hinduism itself?
