Social Reccomend me some conservative movies.

[Proud American]

Full Metal and Starship Troopers are making fun of right wingers, but big brained right wing thought leaders like @rob mafia and @Proud American think the movies are on their side because they have a lot of guns and military bravado.

you lefties can be so dumb.

lol full metal jacket is about the stupidity and horrors of war. The inner darkness of man.

starship troopers is basically a pro fascist book, and same with movie. Get educated.

remember, nobody likes liberals, people vote “default democrat” Bc they try to fit in bc every cultural outlet pressures them to.

these movies most would never be allowed to be made in today’s liberal hollywood.

 

[HOLA]

I think Starship Troopers was a joke. I can't get over the idea that someone watched Full Metal Jacket and took away the message that war is awesome.

Just look at how much trouble people have with 3 minute songs. Billy Corgan has talked about how often people say "Today" was such an inspirational song for them...it's about wanting to kill yourself. All they hear is "today is the greatest day I've ever known..."

Shit, I've heard of multiple people who've used Two Out of Three Ain't Bad by Meatloaf as their wedding song! How could you never listen to the lyrics?

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

The book definitely had some pro-fascist perspectives, but the movie clearly satirizes those themes. Paul Verhoeven, the director, is clear in interviews that the movie is an anti-war satire.

"Our philosophy was really different [from Heinlein’s book],we wanted to do a double story, a really wonderful adventure story about these young boys and girls fighting, but we also wanted to show that these people are really, in their heart, without knowing it, are on their way to fascism."

He’s right, everyone in that movie is on their way to fascism. I’d just say, everyone in that movie is fascist and fights for it.

another great movie, which again no war movie is ever “pro war “

Pro deregulation, individualism as opposed to collectivism (single super vs a faceless police force), and an obsession with the old way. That was just off the top of my head and an haven't seen it in years, there might be more to it, but it's definitely from a conservative perspective and I don't think the character arch moves them in to a different direction.

Edit-It's also all about the nuclear family. Not sure if that's a pun or not.

I think that's all extremely oversimplified. The point of the movie is not that they should have free reign or that they are entitled by birth to rule or anything like that. Also takes a very negative view of capitalism. A lot of art is focused on the question of how the artist relates to society, which is more of where I'd place the Incredibles (that's also what Ratatouille is about, and the Iron Giant has a bit of that). And the proposal is not that there's a right to rule. Also, individualism is very much opposed to conservatism.

@Denter, same response.

 

[Jack V Savage]

I'd say that anything that exposes leftist ideology counts as a conservative movie.

Any leftist movie is a conservative movie. Brilliant.

There are many differences between the film and Heinlein's 1959 novel.[10] While the novel has been accused of promoting militarism, fascism, and military rule, the film satirizes these concepts by featuring bombastic displays of nationalism as well as news reports that are intensely xenophobic and propagandistic.[11][12][10]

Verhoeven stated in 1997 that the first scene of the film—an advertisement for the Mobile Infantry—was adapted shot-for-shot from a scene in Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935), specifically an outdoor rally for the Reich Labour Service. Other references to Nazism in the movie include the Wehrmacht-inspired uniforms and insignia of field grade officers, M.I. working uniforms reminiscent of Mussolini's Blackshirts, Albert Speer's style of architecture and its propagandistic dialogue ("Violence is the supreme authority!").[13]

In a 2014 interview on The Adam Carolla Show, the actor Michael Ironside, who read the novel as a youth, said that he asked Verhoeven, who grew up in the German-occupied Netherlands, "Why are you doing a right-wing fascist movie?" Verhoeven replied, "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships but it's only good for killing fucking Bugs!"[

The absolute irony of you telling me to educated after saying shit like this, is living proof that Breitbart and Steven Crowder is not a viable substitute for an american school system.

Shhh, stop with the facts. @Proud American and @Mcountry aren't big fans of those.

Lol lefties got upset with the movie, and pressured the creator “are you glorifying fascism and militarism?”

the creator goes of course it, bc is he ever gonna say yes? But the movie certainly does. Fascist Johnny Rico and his fascist teacher are the heroes and moral compasses of the film.

you’re ignorance is how academia be Gina to say shit like “math is racist” or how we have fake scientists at the head of departments saying biology and chromosomes no longer exist while other nations laugh at us. Congrats

I never said the movie was pro war. No war movie is ever really pro war. Can you name one?

 

[Last Falconry]

what level of brain death do you have to be suffering to watch Starship Troopers and think, "that was very pro-fascist." Were the parody military recruitment ads too subtle?

May this thread never die
