The following explores three films challenging the leftist narrative,
deliberately or not.
district 9
Vikus, after exposure to the bug juice
The premise: A plane flying saucer over Johannesburg in 1982. After nothing
happens for three months, a team of exercises in the hull, looking a
million starving and miserable insects of the area . Foreigners are moved
to a camp called District 9, staying for nearly three decades. Foreign & #
8221 Prawns; are mercenaries, but are their bosses (and why they stopped on
Earth) is unknown. Many questions remain unanswered, but a result can still
be done.
The prawns are regularly treated harshly. Because of friction with the
local population, now 1.8 million foreigners must be moved to a more remote
location would have been better, but essentially a concentration camp. One
of bureaucrats accidentally sprayed average with bug juice and begins to
turn into a Prawn (recalling the fly). His attitude changes as a society
evil plot line takes place quickly.
These days, they could be paid to do this.
Spin: This has obvious parallels to South Africa's former apartheid
policies. Even Star Trek's awkward political messages were usually more
subtle. Foreigners are portrayed as victims. Medical experiments are
particularly unfair.
The squalid internment camp was a real shanty town will be closed and its
inhabitants moved to another housing project the government. Basically,
it's like what happened in the plot, though the new location was actually
better. The filmmakers have changed little over the city & # 8217 hovel; s
appearance. Surely this much horrified by learning this background
information & # 8212; although this was true!
The final decision: The only Gambas displaying intelligence and ambition
are Christopher (probably their leader) and his son (about as cute as a bug
small space can get). The others are dull and aimless. They re hive,
suggesting extreme r selection. In the end, their population is 2.5
million; they breed like, well, bugs. How will this work in the long term?
Moreover Christopher and his son, they have not seen aren improve their
collective situation, do everything with their individual lives, or engage
in cultural exchanges. In total, they just aren t in earthly society fit,
apparently unmotivated to do so. They're not working from local businesses,
better residential construction, or even cleaning their neighborhood. The
fair and stroll into trouble Gambas, which is why they're walled and being
expelled District 9. There aren t good solutions.
Life imitates art
The MNU society is clearly too far. Although chronically aggressive people
and # 8212; idle and assimilated refugees in particular & # 8212;
inevitably require some degree of what Mussolini called the seriousness of
education. Why leave, especially if the firmness required for managing
seems morally unpleasant? This science fiction story highlights a real
problem involuntarily. Leave tough luck if hordes incompatible with the
host society and a net drain on it, creates an imported underclass. How to
benefit society?
As for the city depressing shanty in the film & # 8212; again, a real
settlement & # 8212; he was sacked because people there weren t clean up.
If it was threadbare, but tidy. They did it for themselves; nobody forbade
them to pick up their trash. Oh, and wasn t ANC rule supposed to bring
harmony in South Africa and the end of poverty? It didn t quite work that
way. Looks like the movie metaphor went further than expected. From this
standpoint, District 9 was unintentionally 2009 s the most politically
incorrect film.
Fall
Continually irritating the wrong person is a bad idea.
The principle: a man who wants to attend his daughter's birthday is locked
in an epic traffic jam in Los Angeles. D-MARSH & # 8221; a victim of
divorce and unemployment industry recently, Snaps stress. So is his car and
suffered an indignity after another. Instead of taking it defends. Of
course, the police get involved, and is in place for the final tragedy.
It's a decent look at the quiet desperation of early 1990. A recession was
happening, if small potatoes compared to the later. The Los Angeles riots
were in recent memory. Other destructive tendencies are in progress, the
final results that some might begin to predict.
Spin: This makes hitting an agreement for hating these trends, put down
permanently by the establishment left, and being told the country that our
ancestors built doesn t belong to us. (These days, even the conservatives
of the establishment tell us to go to hell, like sneering leftists.)
Liberal Critics noted the angry white male subject with displeasure.
Unfortunately, the message is that we should indeed take an indignity after
another, and we'd better sit down and shut up about it:
D-MARAIS: I m the bad guy?
Policeman: Yes.
D-MARAIS: How to happen? I did everything they told me. Did you know I
build missiles? I helped protect America. You should be rewarded for it,
but they give plastic surgeons. You know they were lying to me.
Policeman: Is what it is? You're angry because you lied? Is this the reason
my chicken dinner is drying in the oven? Hey, they are lying to everyone.
They are found in fish. But that doesn t give you a special right to do
what you did today.
The only positive is that the police officer puts retirement, unlike his
wife domineering s wishes. He stands up for what's important and
successful. Yet it is not enough to redeem the film.
Dude, ham and cheese and fries womlette whammy ain t that important!
The final decision: Unfortunately, represented filmmakers D-MARAIS as a
nut, rather than a rational person harassed too far. Most things D FENS
gets aggro about are not important, such as inflated prices and the end of
the breakfast menu.
Also ensure it didn t encourage those with & # 8221 evil; beliefs,
filmmakers have inserted a scene with a shop owner of whacky military
surplus directly from Central Casting Department specializing in rednecks
with green teeth. (I can see the wheels turning in their heads & # 8212; We
don t want to give & # 8216;? These types encouragement, not us if we don t
solve this problem, we will never be invited to another Oscar celebration)
Any cause has its eccentricities, and I've had lots of both left and right
(in fact, the left is nuttier, and smelly), but not quite like the owner of
the store caricatured.
The theme of resistance is there, but it's pretty thin gruel. You can not
let Hollyweird to play this kind of film rights. Aspiring independent
filmmakers should take note.
the demolisher
Cops in 2032 are literally an easy prey. This villain's got the style!
The premise: After a hostage goes terribly wrong, a police officer was
convicted of manslaughter and placed in a cryo-prison where & # 8212 while
in freezing & # 8212; it's subjected to subliminal propaganda to reprogram
his mind. In 2032 & # 8212; thirty-six years later & # 8212; the villain
escapes and the cop is thawed to deal with it. The current policy is too
inept; they haven t had & # 8220 murder death kill in ages.
Culture shock is a major element; all is quiet but terribly boring. For
examples: the oldies station just playing old advertisements; sex is
telepathic interactive cyber-porn; profanity is fined latest robotic
efficiency to traffic cameras; foods that are bad for you (including salt,
meat, chocolate and spicy foods) are illegal. Otherwise, the cameras
monitor all citizens.
The spin: He was quite deliberately satirical. Demonstrating a disgusting
world was nice to have a great take that & # 8221; those who complain about
violent movies. It's a brilliant parody of the politically correct nanny
state run amok.
The film made its point quite effectively. It included many dedications to
Brave New World, everyone should read. Orwell's 1984 depicts a future of
unrelenting brutality, but Huxley's classic now better describes where
we're headed. It's a superficial existence of hedonism without spirit with
the bread and circuses approach to control the public. With few advances in
biotechnology, Brave New World is entirely possible.
The final decision: The subversive theme is played at 100% right.
Demolition Man society would look awesome in all addicted tofu genderfluid,
psych med munching out whiny college indoctrination centers Social Justice
Warrior annually. However, that simply describes a fraction of what they
think the world should be; scratched the surface of the order of SJW day.
Much of science fiction and dystopian literature extrapolate current trends
into the future. & # 8212 Often, but not always & # 8212; seems dated
later. (It's 2017, where s my hovercar Damn I?. Ai had fun with this
concept in my own stories) fifteen years from now, how our society looks
like Demolition Man? Most people in 2002 would have found today degradation
hard to imagine. If the public in 1987 knew what was in store and behind
him, they would have taken decisive action.
Trends is precisely extrapolating difficult. The current trajectory is 80%
Brave New World and 20% in 1984, although the carrot to paste the report
could reverse. Maybe in 2032, civilization may hang by a thread.
Alternatively, a massive game emerge and dismiss the company left
regressive wrecking. As I always say, the future is what we do.
