She is probably anti-gun but the way it read it was almost like what we on FreeRepublic do and mock the ability of the gun to have a mind of it’s own.
I still have not seen Avatar. I turned my back on Hollywood long ago. Divorcing myself from advocacy cinema has positive effects on my lifestyle. There are way too many other things one can enjoy.
There is always a message. That’s what a story does, it reaches us.
Hollywood ‘thinks’ it has a corner on this.
No matter that stories existed since the beginning of human existence.
Hollywood discovered the power of stories as they were in the middle of just story telling, and doing it quite well.
So, the question is: What stories (in movie form) do you remember/like/rewatch?
Ditto, the rest of Americans.
What’s the message?
Not all actors take these current liberal message movie roles.
The women get led around by the nose, some of the men do to.
But what actors do you trust?
What she says in the review is true (I actually saw it this weekend — not my idea, believe me). However, keep in mind that some trendy, “humans are going to kill themselves” message has been in pretty much EVERY Planet of the Apes movie. In Beneath the Planet of the Apes, we had the humans who destroyed the world with a nuclear bomb (a quaint thought now, isn’t it?). In Escape from the Planet of the Apes, we had pollution destroying the world. Even in the original, man destroyed his own society. In the good Planet of the Apes movies, you could put that aside and enjoy the show. In the bad ones — like this — you simply have a boring movie.
Never saw avitar but know many who did, when they described the plot the 1st thing I thought was yep, another hollywood subliminal message/agenda/propaganda.
Scary thing is, most of the people I tried to bring this to their attention didn’t or couldn’t see it.........Wow
This is total BS. Mrs. Pharmboy and I saw this movie yesterday. My consciousness was heightened for an anti-gun message and was expecting one since I had read an earlier piece on FR that said so.
Walking out of the theater, I said to my wife “Did you notice an anti-gun message?”
“No—not at all. Did you?”
I told her that I thought the opposite. The people who read anti-gun messages where they do not exist are not helping the 2A cause. Great movie, BTW
There is always an agenda in “entertainment.” Films and TV programs are made to promote an agenda, and the story line is designed to get you to suspend your disbelief and critical thinking so that you will accept the message.
I’ve seen very few exceptions.
When is a”Movie”coming out advocating”LibTurd Control”????
But the gun didn’t do anything.
Koba did.
And yeah it was a boring movie.
Except for Koba.
But yet when someone in Hollywood releases a movie that supports gun rights and has an anticommunist message (for example... Red Dawn- both the 2012 and the 1984 versions), the liberals scream and cry fowl.
There’s no anti-gun message, she’s just obsessed. The ape that wanted a war wanted a war before he got a hold of any guns, he used the gun to start the war because they were (to that point) human weapons so when chief ape got shot all the other apes thinks humans did it. It’s a good movie, any message in it is against unreasoning hate and pro communication with supposed enemies.
