If anyone wants to see a pure propaganda film, Captain America is the film to see.
Things have become so bad that they don't even have to try to make it subtle anymore.
The messages are as blunt as a slap on the face.
The scenario, of course, lends itself perfectly to this kind of crap.
You have the classic showdown between the evil Nazis who dream of being gods and the good Judeo-Christians with their band of equal partners: a chinaman, a white dude, an Englishman, the token black guy and, last but not least, the strong independent, yet still sexy, female.
All lead, ironically, by a super-man...an [i]overman[/i], but who is also humble about his superiority and dedicated to serving and protecting the weaker than him.
It is this "humility" that differentiates the opposing forces, as both claim a stake on superiority.
One wishes to surpass humanity, leave it behind if it cannot follow, whereas the other places itself in its service, lowering itself before the whole so as to pull everyone up towards the Deity which is the only thing permitted the distinct position of all-powerful idea.
The message is a comforting one:
No matter how weak and stupid you might be you shall rise with the help of those who stand above you, but beneath your common authority...the common idea(l).
The speech given by the scientist is wonderful. He's a German scientist, that could be Jewish but it is never clarified, telling the weakling how weakness is a strength.
Brilliant.
If you thought X-Men was ridiculous with their mutants willing to sacrifice themselves to defend creatures who are like bugs to them, then this film will not disappoint you.
It has that feel-good element we all know and adore in Hollywood propaganda.
Creativity has reached such a low that they are recycling everything from the past, repackaging it and reselling it as new.
They are now recycling the recycled: "art" referencing art, in a loop.
And who said art is supposed to raise the common man from the dirt, when it can exploit him and make the dirt more bearable for him?
Presumably being a short, scrawny, asthmatic man makes you less attractive to the opposite sex, and it's only when you've morphed into a six-foot something male specimen with an athletic build that your "inner beauty", your sense of humor, and your kindness becomes noticeable.
It's one of those common sense deals that only applies sometimes...like here:
Protest started because a cop had the nerve to tell women not to dress like sluts so as to lower the chances of them getting raped.
Imagine, if you will, a cop telling you not to walk around with your money hanging out of your pockets so as to not become a victim of a mugging, or telling someone to avoid walking around in a liberal rally with a swastika on their t-shirt so as to avoid getting assaulted.
Imagine that!!!
Next time someone tells me not to leave my car door open and the keys inside I'll accuse him of intruding upon my free -will.
I hold the thief accountable for his inability to prevent himself from taking advantage of my openness, while I retain the innocence of a child who simply wishes to express himself by pulling temper tantrums.
Presumably a chick can walk around with her vagina on display and her tits out in the air and it's not her problem....she has zero accountability...she is forever a victim because she's expressing her sexuality.
So, next time tie a rib-roast on your ass and enter a lion's cage, and if you are bitten or eaten alive, tell your family to blame the lion, because you were only expressing yourself and taking advantage of your right to walk around anywhere with anything on.
And who the hell didn't train the lion to be more disciplined?
The world, you see, must be made harmless for you.
You are innocent, you have no responsibilities, you can put your judgment on hold.
You are fearless.
And if a woman wishes to walk around with one breast hanging out, she has a right to do so.
But if your eyes wander off of hers or you stop taking anything that comes out of her mouth seriously, then you are a sexist pig.
Don't you know that she's only expressing her God-given right to be as stupid, as carefree and careless, as infantile, as possible?
She's not trying to attract male attention or exhibit her sexual availability, unless it's the "right" kind. No, that would giving her too much credit. She's simply dressing like she pleases, and if her vagina stands out through her tight pants like a camel's toe then it is incumbent upon you to ignore it.
She might dress like a slut but she is definitely not a slut....just as you can dress like a skinhead or a fag and this says nothing about you.
It's Halloween night at the insane asylum.
Hallelujah!!!!

You sure do see a lot of these "strong independent" females on TV and in the movies...not so much in real life.
