The political indoctrination and abuse is similar to what liberal and leftist parents did ten years ago when Trump won election,
I watched a couple of movies from the aughts last week that I didn't care for (Clive Owen's Children of Men, Frost/Nixon).
Sometimes when I'm watching a stinker, I like to distract myself by searching for old r/movies Reddit threads to see what the popular smoothbrain opinion is/was on the piece of art (Spoiler alert: Redditors were pretty much orgasmic about both films. It was hard to find any criticism of either. Particularly Children of Men's threads were full of midwits declaring it the "best movie of the 21st century").
Anyways, what was more interesting that some of the movie review threads I came across dated 8+ years ago to Drumpf's 1st term. It was illustrative seeing modern day TDS talking points & fanfic dating back & preceding my own awakening to the dissident right or whatever we would call ourselves.
Children of Men was particularly dogshit. I've heard people reference it IRL wrt collapsing fertility, so I was eager to see what it was about. It's apparently based on a novel , which itself has mixed reviews. The premise of the novel & the movie is sort of like Logan, where for unexplained reasons, no new children have been born for decades. The themes explore how society would react to the end of times, to extinction of the human race, to nihilism & hopelessness, to service of the elderly without a young wageslave class, to illegal immigration & labor, etc.
Apparently the director of the movie who was a Mexican who didn't even read the source material. Instead, he decided even 2 decades back to make this dystopian tale set in 2027 all about "illegal immigration" & how the UK in this world becomes a RW totalitarian police state obsessed with rounding up illegals (surprisingly portrayed still in the aughts as non-Bong White Europeans), locking them in cages & turning abandoned UK seaside towns into open air refugee camps. Oh, and the first new pregnancy MacGuffin in 18 years that is going to save the White race is a unwed African pregnant teen illegal who doesn't know who the father is.
Even back in 2006 when the movie was made, the Latino director chose to push BS fake news narratives about illegal immigration. In the OG novel source material, the narratives actually match better to the IRL situation today. With no new wageslaves for the last 18 years, Western countries start importing foreign "Omegas" (youngest cohort year births before fertility came to a crashing halt) to keep their fake & ghey boomer service economies going. Then when the Omegas age out into boomers themselves, they deport them back home. In the novel, another big theme is apparently that boomers are useless eaters with the social safety net & ponzi schemes crashing, so the gov starts setting up MAiD programs to disappear them en masse.
But in the pozzed aughts Hollywood version, the director sets up a nonsensical focus on the UK gov being flooded with unwanted migrants & using all their resources on an apparatus to put illegals in cages, buses & refugee camps (mostly White mind you). All the while where they are experiencing demographic collapse and major labour shortages & service disruption. So essentially, the Mexican director fucked up the novel's themes simply to portray illegals being rounded up & stuffed in cages.
The old threads on Frost/Nixon were similarly effusive with praise for a movie that did absolutely nothing for me. The movie by Ron Howard (who I was surprised isn't Jewish) completely destroyed the historical biopic accuracy of the piece given the climactic hook is Nixon "losing" the head-to-head interview with journoscum Frost due to a drunken tell-all midnight phonecall giving Watergate clues. So that Frost has the upperhand during their final public interview causing Nixon to admit coverup guilt on public airwaves.
Only the drunken phonecall is a complete fabrication. And apparently Nixon never explicitly admitted Watergate guilt in the IRL interview series.
The movie really tries to make Nixon look like a bigot, mocking Frost's faggy Italian loafers & showing dislike for him because he miscegenated in getting engaged to a Black celebrity.
It's also notable that Frost's IRL researchers & associates in the film are portrayed as plucky good guy heroes. But they are also written without a hint of irony as partisan, overzealous fanatic journoscum types, who openly state from the beginning that Nixon has to be exposed/taken down/kept smeared forever/made to be struggle-sessioned on public TV. There's no pretense whatsoever that the hours-long interview series is unbiased or about searching for truth or understanding.
In the old Frost/Nixon Reddit threads, lots of comparison between Nixon & Trump, both being evil incarnate, them being guilty of unspeakable crimes because the media says so, history repeating itself, yadda yadda.
Yeah, that was an interesting role for Caine. Very different than the usual typecast.
Even his character seemed very hamfistedly tacked on though. I'm not sure if it was in the OG novel.
Caine's character was obviously a representation of the "old", the spiritual boomer in a dying world suddenly bereft of the young. In a movie supposedly about humanity graying & dying out, there were surprisingly few old & decrepit archetypes.
And the boomers (technically not actual boomers likely since the plot takes place in 2027) are represented through hippie Michael Caine as full of mirth & chill & hedonism & cool. Instead of the stodgy, entitled, panicky, propagandized, useless eater types they actually were likely in the novel & IRL.
Caine's character similarly has very little purpose in the disjointed story arc. He mostly exists as another MacGuffin to represent a temporary sanctuary when Clive Owen & nig not-so-Virgin Mary are on the run again. And his ultimate fate is to simply illustrate that the freedom fighter rebels are just as bloodthirsty as the totalitarian Bong police state when they gun Caine down in his driveway between dad jokes.

Michael Cain as a hippy was great though.

He said it was a really hard because it was so different. Caine has made some interesting films. Victory was surprisingly fun.
