A social centre in the city center offered itself to host my collective to publicly play films and analyze them from a marxist perspective.
Tomorrow we are going to choose the film for the first projection, but i have no fucking idea what to propose.
I'd like something appealing also to people not already into lefty politics, i heard that zizek analyzed a lot of "pop" movies (maybe fight club can be an idea?) but i don't know him very much.
Until now the only proposed films were I, Daniel Blake (but maybe it can be a little bit heavy for n00bs) and The Working Class Goes to Heaven (which maybe is a bit too old-fashioned), but i'm open to every suggestion and grateful for it. Please link also a decent analysis of the film you suggest.
Lefty movies to play in public?

I realize that it's pride month, but there's no reason to be that fucking gay. Play Zuckerberg's Congressional testimony in its entirety with the theme to Time, Forward! looping in the background.
Isaiah Martinez
perhaps you should ask the /leftytrash/ thread

battle of algiers,children of men, Z by costa gavras,blood for dracula(hilarious),battleship potemkin etc
Kevin Cox
Do not do this.

1. Play Snowpiercer
2. the last 5 minutes will split up the crowd to revolutionaries and reformists
3. get caked in the shitstorm
???
4. communism
Isaac Barnes
Because you come off as someone who is doing something he has no idea about. Maybe you need to into theory before you organize things you have no clue about?
Josiah Butler
The ending of Snowpiercer was liberal pandering nonsense
Nicholas Ward
I'm already into theory (otherwise i will be bored af on leftypol), the problem is that i'm not very much into recent cinema, and i cannot play Eiseinstein if i want normal people not to leave after the first 5 minutes.
Also, if you don't trust me cause i don't talk like a critic when posting on a fucking imagrboard, i remember you that a collective is made by many people, and surely if there is a movie presenting a particular theme on which i'm not capable of doing a decent analisys someone else in the collective will be able to do it better.

American Psycho is a good view into the capitalist psyche.

Great Dictator if you just want anti-fascism in general

Once wrote a Marxist analysis on Snowpiercer. Pretty decent kino, too

The implication is that if polar bears were able to survive, other humans must have been able to survive as well. Polar bears are apex predators that require a healthy food-chain underneath them; any environment in which polar bears live humans can also live (even without modern tech; see the inuit). Essentially, the train was never necessary (or perhaps was only necessary for a short period in certain areas they went through).
Jaxon Miller
The Working Class goes to Heaven
Its a great movie with a supreme atmosphere!
Jayden Jenkins
There was a meeting in my neighborhood just last night where we watched The Hey Arnold Movie which is all about big developing companies fucking over the poor and gentrifying communities. Seriousljub By Q
Isaac Rogers
Thief
It's also an egoist film.
Henry Ramirez
100% this - it's ideological programming aimed at children and is known by many
Henry Anderson
Check my dubs
Also, here's an analysis by the director himself.
Grayson Jenkins
The Fall of Berlin
Pure kino.
Christian King
The Chekist
Samuel Carter
IRL, the Polar Bear would charge towards them and eat them
Samuel Parker
Predators IRL aren't hyperaggressive killing machines. You probably don't want to go pet it, but unless it's desperately hungry it's not gonna immediately charge a bunch of animals it has never seen before.
Besides, you're missing the point. The question isn't "hurr, how will the kids survive against this MONSTROUS KILLING MACHINE?!", it's "how the hell are there apex predators running around in a place everyone thought was uninhabitable?". The final scene shows that it was possible to survive the apocalypse without locking yourself in a fascist eternity train, thus disproving the dominant ideology.
Ryan Torres
play Reefer Madness
Charles Jones
Show Simon Sez and coax the crowd into Basketball Juche.

If you pull a artsy crowd and want to put on a shorts programlater on:

Babakiuaria is a mockumentary about if aborigines were the colonists and white Australians the natives. Pretty funny, good decolonisation Kino

Isle of Flowers
Very funny then very bitter. Excellent agitprop
That said, try to get the most diverse audience you can. We need everybody we can get to defeat porky
