Sean Penn knows what you think of him.
Several minutes into the two-time Oscar winner’s new film, Superpower, ostensibly a documentary about the battle-hardened president of Ukraine, Penn’s gravelly voice answers a question posed in interviews past: Who do you think you are, Walter Cronkite? You have a savior complex?
“I’ve been lucky enough to be able to travel,” Penn answers in a voiceover, “and, weathered though it is, my famous face gets me access to places and people I may otherwise not have known. And sometimes I feel I can be helpful.”
Thus the stage is set for a two-hour foray into Penn’s adventures in Ukraine, a country he says he visited seven times in the span of a year and a half. The original plan was to make a film about Volodymyr Zelensky, famously propelled to the presidency after campaigning as an outsider who vowed to “break the system” and its attendant corruption, mimicking the storyline of Servant of the People, the TV series that provided the former actor his most famous role. Then, in Feb. 2022, Russia began pounding Kyiv as it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting the bloodiest war on European soil in decades. Penn was in the city at the time, about to hold his first meeting with the Ukrainian president. The film, which he and producer Billy Smith had envisioned as “cute” and “funny,” morphed with the circumstances, trying to tell the story of a country, and man, rising to meet the moment.

“This is a biased documentary,” Penn told an audience of around 80 people at a small screening in Tribeca last week. “If it’s propaganda, I’m proud.”
All the wrong people are supporting Ukraine.

Peas, pod.
When the Ukr flag craze was very strong about a year ago, you could tell the most Democratic part of any city (that I went to) by having the most of those flags and fewest US flags displayed.
Straight to streaming or DVD!
The leftists I know in my neighborhood, the ones who had Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock yard signs, all have the “Stand with Ukraine” signs. All of them.
Wooly Bully

"Only COWARDS fear World War 3!" Sean Penn on giving more money to Ukraine Rumble vid 5:41
What a lot of people don’t know is that Sean Penn is only part Irish. His father was Jewish and emigrated from Lithuania, so Penn is of Middle European ethnicity w/Lithuania being right next to Ukraine/Russia. Hence his interest in the Ukraine War comes naturally because of his ethnic heritage. His mom was a Catholic of Irish-Italian ethnic heritage.
From Wiki:
‘Penn was born in Santa Monica, California,[4] to actor and director Leo Penn and actress Eileen Ryan (née Annucci).[4][5] His older brother is musician Michael Penn. His younger brother, actor Chris Penn, died in 2006.[6] His father was Jewish, the son of emigrants from Merkinė, Lithuania,[7][8][9][10][11] while his mother was a Catholic of Irish and Italian descent.[11][12] Penn was raised in a secular home in Malibu, California,[9] and attended Malibu Park Junior High School and Santa Monica High School, as Malibu had no high school at that time.[13][14] He began making short films with some of his childhood friends including actors Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen, who lived near his home.[15]”
“How does it feel to be zealously in agreement with Sean Penn?”
Like a being a fool for the famous and a suck-up to celebrity?
Penn is probably supporting the war to traffick young Ukrainian women.
