Recently my daughters have been big on wanting to watch the Pirates films. For the most part rewatching them I haven't seen anything to egregious. Then we watched On Stranger Tides. Now I haven't seen this movie since I half watched it with my old college gf when it came out. Even then I remember feeling the movie was biased against Christianity. Specifically the feckless missionary who doesn't have any balls.
I digress. Even back then and now seeing it again I think the twist with the Spanish Catholics is great. Maybe I am biased since I'm Catholic. But the way they just destroy all the pagan shit while all the British and pirates are confused is great. "Only God can grant eternal life, not this pagan water. Men destroy this profane temple". I remember reading reviews back then considering the Spanish villains. Now I see them as heroes.
It's a shit movie, but unintentionally based.
For those interested
If you ever watch Pleasantville, try watching it in the frame of mind that the supposedly "protagonist" kids are actually antagonists terrorizing a small town full of innocents.
Two kids from a broken home enter into a well-functioning, ordered society, think it's "weird" and "oppressive", and decide that the entire society needs to change instead of themselves. Then it does, and as soon as it does they leave to let the town deal with the fallout of having been fundamentally altered and probably irreparably damaged.
It's like watching a horror movie where the monster is made out to be the good guy, except the movie is so well-made they do a really good job of hiding that alternate interpretation from the viewer.
Yeah it's a great video.
I thought I was the only one who thought this. His sister was a whore and he allowed himself to become a soyboy.
