Too much propaganda


The beginning of this movie made it seem like it would be a nice romance about two lonely people finding each other. Yet the last half devolved into merely a propaganda movie. Now I'm torn about criticizing the movie since I do agree 100 percent with the message about funding Africa and eliminating extreme poverty. Yet I just don't think it worked in this movie. If the producers wanted to make a social message piece about the problem make a different movie. Don't try to wrap people into a romantic movie and then suddenly beat them over the head with your political views. I would have made a movie focussing on the main male character and not have any romance at all, just have him dealing with standing up to the leaders and showing his own courage. Or a movie about the two people having a romance, without any politics. Together though, they are uncomfortable and don't work at all.

I thought it was completely amazing how the movie pivoted. The only other movie I can think of that did that... ever... was From Dusk Til Dawn, and definitely not with the skill that this movie displayed. It was a strong 8/10 for me personally. A bit of a shocker the way it went, but in a good way.

I thought that when I saw it all those years ago. Watching it again recently and the message seemed less intrusive, the quirky romance more enjoyable.

16 years ago, a right-winger posted about how he hates science.

You seem to get triggered quite a lot. I mean, really, a 16 year old post and you obviously didn't even read it.

reply

Not triggered at all. Maybe you are, though. I did read it. Right-wingers are always crying about "being beat over the head with political views" when actually he's talking about not liking the results of science.

I've seen some of your other posts. You seem to get triggered by the littlest things.🤷‍♀️

You must have that number on speed dial.

I actually LOVE your posts. Their stupidity is absolutely hilarious!🤣

reply

Well, what you're actually reading in any post I make that has a political context is this: some right-winger is triggered, and I respond to tell him not to be a crybaby. So clearly... you are a triggered right-winger all upset.

Lol, the stupidity of your posts...it simply doesn't stop!🤣🤣🤣

If you want to quit making a fool of yourself, please read the OP again.

I think you're misunderstanding what he's saying, stupid.

Okay, give a summary then!😂

Figure it out yourself.

I figured it out a long time ago and now I just laugh at how wrong you got it!🤣

reply

Well you just keep sitting there laughing in your mom's basement and enjoy your life. :)
