Misdirected characters and failed underpinning to the main protagonist
Ugh can't we just get one film about politics that's written a-politically?(other than Parkland)
When the black secretary goes on her hissy rant to the soldier kid (whom doesn't even look like he wants to be there), the anti-white rhetoric just oozes.
If any writers or directors had balls, they'd have the actor snap back at her with 'then how about your people stop burning their own neighborhoods and acting like apes.'
Because that is exactly the reality and exactly what he would have said if we were being historically accurate.
The sad thing is, fifty years later and they are still doing it.
Also, why is the Swede such a cuck? For a high school athlete star in that era of America and a Marine, he is extremely beta male.
It additionally does not jive well with the daughter. IT would be much more plausible if he was a jingoist, far right war supporting individual, whom she railed against in amongst her teen angst.
But he is not, the source of her stupidity and pseudo-politics makes no sense.
It's like they want us to believe every teenager was against the war and wise beyond their years about what was really going on..
News flash for people whom weren't there to remember, it wasn't. Like today, the majority of youth weren't stupid or naive..it was mostly the college kids and pandering white politicians looking for a vote.
It's always political...even in Hollywierd where we're supposed to be able to go to escape the politics.
