POLITICAL PROPAGANDA


Besides all the blatant emotional 'all is one' gibberish, which is
nothing new; this same crap is on SOAP for *beep*'s sake, everyone knows
we're all 'connected'; this film is a thinly veiled globalist/new world
order/one world government mind warp trip just like pretty much every
alien/futuristic movie out of the sewers of Hwood. Just think about it,
name one movie of the future where there isn't one global government
with a single leadership. Well I'm sure someone can name one, but you
get my point... In the future its united Earth unified going where no
cock or twat have gone before. They make it INEVITABLE.

Anyhow, clearly the overall point of this barely watchable Close
Encounters/Abyss remake is if humanity is to advance as a race/species
we must give up national sovereignty, culture, currency, laws, borders
etc., and join one another under the great overarching genius of the
UN. Gee thanks; I can't wait for George Soros and Obama to tell me how
much energy I can use and that my farts cause climate change so I have
to drive an electric car and wear a solar panel on my back; OR I'm a
luddite neanderthal.

Clear support for my thesis as heretofore described are the 'rebel'
soldiers who decide to destroy the aliens trying to prevent the
inevitable unification of the planet because they listen to too much
right-wing radio; a clear unambiguous reference to the political
'right', Trump, religious fundamentalists, talk radio... Stick to
trusted media sources stamped and approved by our globalist masters
like WAPO CNN NYT and HUFFPO; they will tell you how and what to think,
since you're not bright enough, having come through public education
and raised by TELEVISION (the State).

So boys and girls, if you don't think Hwood is pumping out political
propaganda with every million it spends on this bilge, you need to wake
the hell up; you are being manipulated. They don't make movies for your
*beep* ENTERTAINMENT!

This entire film is moot; if the heroine could see the future, which we clearly learn she can right from the start, she would know about the aliens and open time to already learn their language when they arrive, then call the general right away... She has 'flash-forwards' of her daughter after she met the aliens and wrote the book so save your explanatory pseudo-creative genius logical
contortions.

The film is just an excuse to yank those heart strings and of course,
push globalist NWO politics!

Thanks for reading fella! G'day mate

Now hang on just a second. Look, I know where you're coming from. You and I travel in the same circles, politically, but I think the film is smarter than what you describe. Yes, they featured a right-wing radio host, most likely inspired by Rush Limbaugh, but I have to admit, it IS what someone like him might say. And it wasn't as if the mainstream media were made out to be saints in this film. In contrast to the scientists patiently attempting to learn from the visitors, the media were shown to be fearmongering and whipping people up into a frenzy, much as I'd say they do in real life. The army doctor even says to Louise that the militaries are panicking because they watch too much TV.

So, even as a conservative libertarian who is very sensitive to contemporary politics being woven into films, I think it was tastefully done here. It wasn't over the top like it was in say, V for Vendetta.

This movie was so inert, I can't imagine spending more than one nanosecond trying to read some agenda into it.

You're completely right. But in all honestly, I don't really care.
I try to push aside any political messages within films, if I didn't, it wouldn't really leave me with much left to watch...

Beautifully stated........ Bravo! Bravo!
