Let's have a list of some of the most blatant imperialist propaganda films

Apocalypse was actually designed to be anti-imperialist propaganda. That's why the plot is the same as Heart of Darkness.

Platoon and FMJ had some good elements, Apocalypse Now was a wanky up-its-own-ass piece of shit designed to glorify and mysticize an evil fucking war

I would prefer if left was a real Nazi propaganda film.

it's an hour and a half long boomer meme and it's amazing

"I find that violence is very ambiguous in movies. For example, some films claim to be antiwar, but I don't think I've really seen an antiwar film. Every film about war ends up being pro-war." - François Truffaut (1973)

Literally any Hollywood war film

lol

hey now, American independence was a progressive event at the time

we should reclaim this as our anthem

It literally wasn't, all the abolitionists fought for the redcoats

Lol, wrong. The American war of independence was a whole bunch of rich slave owners wanting less taxes, proclaiming “all men are equal” without counting for all humans.

epic dialectics bro

I don’t think it was designed to mysticize the war, I think it was trying to capture that Heart of Darkness surreal, unnamable, primordial terror vibe, which was a pretty big element in the book.

FMJ is based just like Kubrick's other movies. Never saw the others

The right sure does like to parrot George Lincoln Rockwell.

FMJ is the only possibly salvageable one there, due to Kubrick's obsession with crypto-Nazism. I think it subverts the shoot-and-cry narrative, you notice that the soldiers act all sad and regretful when they give interviews to the media, but they gleefully engage in sadism before and after the scene. He also puts in a message (the focus on urban warfare, repeated refrains of "missing something to shoot at when we head home", references to MKULTRA mass shooters like Charles Whitman, etc) about how the troops abroad are being trained to pacify dissent at home. After shooting the girl in the end, the troops get over their feelings, congratulate each other, and then march back singing the Mickey Mouse song (Disney was a notorious Nazi sympathizer).
However, I think the average viewer still saw FMJ as a fun adventure with the bros and shoot-and-cry elements, so it was probably negative overall.

That's a beginners list of common Imperialist films.

Top Gun

Enemy at the Gates
Extremely anti-communist and responsible for 90% of Red Army myths you see on the internet. I like the score though

Also responsible for inspiring every Soviet campaign in CoD.

Too bad, since it would have been pretty good if it weren't for that opening scene.

There was this Netflix original that I watched a few years back called "First they killed my father" which was literally one of the most Blatant "Muh Evil Gommies" films talking about the Cambodian Crisis ever

Isn't Red Dawn about America defending itself Cuban Imperialism?

Just the first one.

A liberal can see that the American "Revolution" was not deserving of that title.

Explain how it is dumb and uninformed. The American Revolution was bourgs rebelling against a feudal metropoly, setting in motion the genesis of capitalism.

I guess Lenin was less than a liberal, after all he didn't read /int/ and Zig Forums and thus didn't know that everything American is bad by definition and being a socialist is when you are mean to Americans.

GB at the time of the American "Revolution" was not feudal and they freed their slaves first.

The Dark Knight Rises, obviously:

Also wanting to point out if the American Revolution never happened, we would not have seen the many rebellions that happened between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Most important one being the French Revolution that brought an end to Absolute Monarchy in France. Robespierre did nothing wrong.

Tfw the book might be more nuanced.
I am giving the benefit of doubt, that Netflix twisted an autobiography of a woman who was during the time of the khmer rogue. If so the book might be look more favorably on commies, since it was Vietnam and the USSR that came to their rescue, while every "free, loving nation" either did nothing or backed the rogue.

The 1776 British Empire wasn't feudal, it was already capitalist. Whatever dying vestiges of the nobility that were left after the War of the Roses were completely stripped of power by the English Civil War and even after the restoration of the monarchy, feudal titles were ceremonial at best.

Believe it or not, 19th century/early 20th century Europeans didn't always have the best information on the Americas.

Yes but the US was the first country explicitly founded on bourgeois and enlightenment values and unlike Britain it completely abolished hereditary aristocracy, which exists in the UK to this day. It also laid the groundwork and served as inspiration for the French, Latin American, and later European revolutions. As said. Thomas Jefferson literally helped write the declaration of the rights of man and citizen.

I miss this kind of right wing humor tbh. Now it's just about trying to appear edgy, without being shocking at all

Lenin didn't fully grasp just how reactionary the founders were. They didn't want capitalism. They were by and large petit bourg wannabe aristocrats who wanted to expand into the west without British interference. They also wanted to own fucking slaves. Does this sound like enlightened capitalists to you? Some have even characterized the American "revolution" as something more akin to the "Glorious Revolution of 1688" sans monarch than any sort of hardcore bourg revolt against the irrational feudal system. Lenin was incredibly intelligent but he was not all knowing.

I guess the entirety of Dinesh Souza's carreer. Also, Micheal Bay and Steven Spielberg? They appeal more to the American dream rethoric than properly defending imperialism, but seems to me like a potatoe-potato situation.

The past is in the past, the time is to burn american flags.

fucking kill me

Pretty good antiwar film
Shoot and cry, but kudos for pointing out the bad treatment soldiers get from their superiors, something most war films ignore(or playoff as "boys being boys").
Eh, I think it's more about the psyche of the soldier than the vietnam war proper.

I tend to agree with Rothbard's view that "Red Dawn" is more about "people vs government" than proper "capitalism vs socialism"; then again, Rothbard wasn't known for being consistent.

Well, more like regurgitating nazi propaganda: youtube.com/watch?v=oK2aNviT1oY

what's that movie where some high school kids are forced to deal with a total USSR takeover of the US and they kill the traitor?

Red Dawn (1984). There is a 2012 remake in which American students fight against North Koreans.

One thing I've heard from somewhere is that, in all of those propaganda pieces where America is invaded by North Korea, they really "aren't" North Korea, but North Korea is actually an analogy to China, you know what I mean?
Do you think this is actually true?

Yes in the movie USA was in debt to NK
That sounds too good to be true
Also why so many holywood movies forget to talk about how things are outside of america?

I know that in the case of the Red Dawn remake they were literally planning on it being China and changed it at the last minute.

Did you guys see this? This is a real movie that was put on wide release in mainstream movie theaters across the US.

Turned it off at 55 minutes, because I didn't want to have to tell people that I watched an entire hour of that bullshit.
They built up how scary North Korea was the entire movie, but how do they portray this fear?
With a fucking tiger.

Crytek games are obscene, I used to have fun playing Crysis before I knew anything about politics, but now it's pretty much unplayable for me.

The capitalist fears the Chinese Characteristics. Dengist China stronk. I should've posted this under a Lenin hat.

Robespierre is easily in the top 5 most based frenchies of history.

I never thought about it, but it makes a lot of sense. I think you are right.

The people who made this retarded bullshit should be shot with an anti-aircraft gun.

Honestly feels like one of those fake clickbait images that Zig Forums makes. Too bad it is real.
