A consequence of Hollywood's own political leanings. You can't admit that the glorious left-wing revolution might not end well.

I have seen so many movies about the dangers fascism and Nazis, but so few about the dangers of communism and anarchy. But then again, I'm just a butthurt Cuban-American born in the 90s who grew up on stories about Castro's thugs torturing my relatives, so maybe I'm hypersenstitive.

I love how this movie attributes 'hate speech' to fascism, it's an idea propelled by leftist SJW feminists

>>78866325
>didn't happen lol

I mean, I can't prove it to you, but I don't have much reason to lie, do I? My great-grandfather spend 3 years in la Cabaña,.

Family came here 100% legally, buddy. Blame Congress for taking such a kind stance towards Cuban refugees, but my family broke no laws to come here.

>>78866401
>TDKR

Oh yeah, fair enough. That movie was criticizing socialists in a way that wasn't at all subtle.

>BTTF2

I'm not sure what this is.

>>78866327
Still think the worse thing of the 1984 world was having to listen to the Eurythmics 24/7.

Oh, and Richard Burton looked like a fucking dumbo instead of a cool, sarcastic torturer

>>78866401
In TDKR the city is better under bane than it was before.

the UK is probably the least likely country on the entire planet to have a fascist regime because people would just laugh at them

>>78866483
The Chancellor was based on Thatcher according to Moore.

>>78866483
I think the natural British proclivity for self-deprecation is what makes it unlikely, at least post-WWII. But IIRC this was written by a Brit. And either way, out of all the European countries, Britain is maybe the most attractive setting for a totalitarian fascist regime because it's such a tiny island. All the people packed together like sardines, 70 million of them in an area about the size of Illinois, cut off from the rest of civilization. Pretty easy for an authoritarian regime with a bit of luck and cleverness to keep them all down.

What are the people going to do? Swim to France?

No, I mean actually watch the film. They depict Gotham as an utopia under Bane and as bad under the original government.

>>78866315
music is GOAT

>>78866574
>They depict Gotham as an utopia under Bane and as bad under the original government.

Did we watch the same movie? Bane's Gotham had kangaroo courts, strict curfews, thugs in tanks roaming the city smashing up what they pleased when they pleased, innocent people getting murdered, not police force....it was a shithole.

>>78866303
Let's be honest, the only medium worse than video games is film.
Literature>Music>Vidya>Film

not hard

It's 20 miles from Dover to Calais....that's pretty hard.

lmao any Brit not in a comfy situation atm would know we're already living under a fascist regime

tens of thousands of disabled, mentally ill people and the very poorest have died in the last 6 years here as a direct result of government policy. the UN has officially cautioned our government twice in the last year for routinely breaking human rights law against our own citizens (no, not immigrants).

>>78866947
yeah the LSD trip is the main thing I wish the Wachowskis hadn't taken out of the film, hell, it would have served their own politics pretty well to leave it in. the lesbian sequence was pretty touching and well-done though.

>this entire post

If you take away free money from people and they are unable to look after themselves, that is their own problem. My dad had crippling polio and he worked until he died. All these fags with "back problems" who complain about cuts are pond scum and their deaths are no great loss.

>>78866483
Dude we're a fucking surveillance state already. Do you know about the internet laws they're trying to pass?
Okay, we're still pretty far from fascism, but we're still getting uncomfortably close.

>>78867755
Sometimes I think people just use "fascist" to mean "whatever I don't like", regardless of whether or not it's actually fascism....authoritarianism is not necessarily fascism, it existed long before fascism got popular and it has continued to exist since fascism was forced back underground.

>>78866276

Wachowski's were just producers.

It's pretty well known Moore is an anarcho-communist. But he had the self-awareness to know that destroying a government, even a fascist one, for the sake it wasn't necessarily good. You're meant to question V's motives.

But the film turns him into a democracy freedom fighter rather than a questionable anarchist.

>>78866256
That shit is with all adaptions of Moore's work

No wonder Moore loathed the adaptation

One thing I really like about Alan is that he found a hairstyle that worked for him in the 70s and just stuck with it for the rest of his entire life. I think that's very admirable.
