Racial undertones....Spoiler *


With all the Race wars goin on in society today i found it a bit irionic that the ONLY 3 guys to live were African American, Mexican and the Indian....Denzel did a great job as Chris, he can pull of any roll honestly, but it was so obvious racially motivated. I mean the Asian and the white guys died but hey who cares right?

The fact is black characters historically are the ones dying in movies.

Now it don't feel good when the shoe is on the other foot, do it?

reply

I was unhappy that any of them died, even though I knew it was inevitable that one or more of them would. Right up to the end, I was hoping Chris Pratt would somehow come out of it!

Why does the race of the survivors matter???

And people needed to die. Kids these days think everyone survives these impossible odds in movies and cant handle when lead charcters die. It isnt a comic book movie. Its a western. This is why tbe expendables franchise is flawed. They dont kill off the team except billy in ex2 who only had 4 scenes anyway.
Stop with the pussification in cinema

And yet that exactly what they did, survived impossible odds, until they died.

Because of the repetitious killing of an endless supply of anonymous bad guys it might as well have been The Avengers, and all the bad guys cgi clones.

That's how utterly unexciting, and dreary its final gun battle was.


Similarly Fury was no perfect war film by any measure, but it didn't go full retard until the final scene, where it lost all credibility favoring heroics, and cliche over a good story.

Westerns and war movie of old were meant to entertain but had some realism to it. Like this movie. We knew most would die but not all just like the original four M7 movies.

It's pretty much a SJW movie made for the blacks, mexicans, and indians. Sort of as , revenge, for all the movies made 30 - 60 years ago where blacks , mexicans, indians were first to die.......

What I don't get are the Asians....why aren't they included in the SJW agenda? I guess Asian man, who also had been Shiatsued on in Hollywood media for the last 100 years, is not a protected minority due to Asian American status of being most middle to upper middle class......

African American, Mexican and the Indian


Usually these races are the first ones to get killed off in movies, so in one movie they survive and you are all crying for the white man? Get a grip on reality and STFU.

Whites have been, are and still will be superior. No matter how much you cry about it, this is the way it will be.


So I guess that you wish that Hitler had won? And do you do know that race constitutes a biological fallacy?

I recommend that you post on a White Nationalist board instead.

Hohoho, what about Mexicans of Spanish ancestry, don't you know anything about those? Like how they are from European ancestry? I mean, Manuel is too caucasian looking for me.

Can't, I'm afraid. Matinee of Le Miz. Christ, I'll call you.

reply

The Mexican was white.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how that all played out. And yes, with all the division going on in the country today, and with who directed the film too. He's a big time lib and outspoken on many things going on in our country. It's quite obvious it was racially motivated.

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
