31 Like what I said about "Fried Green Tomatoes", the movie "Chocolat" is such condescending "liberal" propaganda. The acting is alright (Molina, Binoche, Depp), but the politics of it are just so on the nose. "Christians bad, Pagans good", "Men bad, women good", "hedonism good, self-control bad", etc. (en.wikipedia.org) posted 2 years ago by bamboozler1 2 years ago by bamboozler1 +33 / -2 36 comments share 36 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Yeah, I also noted that irony.
The movie is like… An indie feminist touchstone (as is the other one I mention). I have no idea whether he noticed, or cared, when he made it, but it is somewhat ironic, in hindsight…
