Critics blast new ‘Rambo’ as racist, pro-Trump

Critics are branding the new “Rambo” movie as racist because it dares to depict the actual violence that takes place on the Unites States’ southern border.

“Rambo: Last Blood” is being slammed by professional critics as xenophobic, racist, and a call for President Trump’s border wall thanks to its politically incorrect storyline.

And even at 72, I think he is, I dare someone to say that to his face

[LRoggy]

He’s a registered Republican as far as I know and has been part of the Hollywood underground conservatives

“Even the Chinese focus on the story and the story only.”

That is completely not true, which means it is working on you.

Everything that has Chinese funding must show China in a positive light with approved portrayals. This has resulted in script changes for years, now, with impacted Hollywood movies.

Rambo was about how the left in this nation treated our returning Vietnam veterans.

Rambo II was about how our gov’t spends money trying to avoid finding POWs left on the battlefield.

Rambo III was about the atrocities of the Soviet Union that our press actively avoided talking about...especially the brave Afghan people.

Rambo IV was about how naïve leftist relief groups are when dealing with brutal war zones run by dictators.

Rambo V is about the brutality of war, despots and death right here on our southern border.

The triumph of Marxism over legitimate criticism

In days of yore, Hollywood was said to be subliminally conditioning the American mind to its own leftist worldview. For example, that observation was attached to a wonderful Western (with a terrific score by of all people, Tex Ritter), High Noon.

As a kid I didn't know that we were dealing with the ravages of McCarthyism, I thought Gary Cooper was standing alone against the bad guys.

In the old days, if Hollywood was in fact conditioning our national mind, at least it sought to uphold American values and was constrained to be somewhat subtle about its prejudices. Criticism was constrained by some responsibility to assess cinematic quality. Was the acting good? Was the writing good? How about the score (Tex Ritter really was good!)? Etc. etc.

Today, our critics care only whether we are politically correct.

What would Karl Marx say?

I seem to remember when FReeRepublic was young Stallone had made some gun grabber statements and we made fun of him for it as his movies are full of guns. He even admitted he owned guns and had his own home pistol range but he was concerned about “plebs” owning guns.

Me three. ..:-D

Gotta love the..”2019 hypersensitivity of culture environment “. What a bunch of pansies.

[ealgeone]

They were ok when Rambo shot up a small town in First Blood.

What would Karl Marx say

"Another of my children died? Pass the cigar box and vodka Fred." I hate Marx, and all his disciples.

[wastoute]

Duck, duck, go “Stallone” and “gun control”. My memory is still pretty good.

[be-baw]

I want to see it. The last Rambo movie was jaw-droppingly violent, but that stuff doesn’t faze me much anymore.

Well the movie didn’t have a black gay transsexual struggling with the white racist hegemony and his sexuality. That’s an automatic -40% of the Rotten Tomato meter right there.

[American movies are not even close to the quality of many of the foreign films. Even the Chinese focus on the story and the story only.]

Hard to fit in an anti-Trump diatribe in a sword and sandal movie set in a bygone era.

[RandallFlagg]

That last Rambo movie was so over the top that I was laughing. Although according to the trivia section of it on IMDB, that,”Chunky,” level of gunshot hits were said to be quite accurate when military combat veterans were commenting on it.

"In 2019's hypersensitive cultural environment.

Yeah... I'm getting more "sensitive" by the minute.. Down right .... sore even.. :(

[P.O.E.]

Hollywood was said to be subliminally conditioning the American mind to its own leftist worldview.

That's why 50's and 60's movies were full of "anti-heroes".

[unread]

"This massively enlarged prostate of a film can only make you wince with its badly acted geronto-ultraviolence, its Trumpian fantasies of Mexican rapists and hilariously insecure US border, and its crass enthusiasm for rape-revenge attacks undertaken by a still-got-it senior dude."

What..? He didn't like the film.?? :)

[odawg]

Now, it is politically correct to only kill white characters in film. Anything else is racism.

[DarthVader]

Anti American traitors fear a Rambo like backlash against them is the truth!
