Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
I just watched Master and Commander, because dudes somehow love that movie because it shows just us guys hanging out, doing stuff, and occasionally managing emotions in the most stilted fucking manner. I will never get over how the film is basically propaganda for the British navy and British imperial wars. They kept talking up Admiral Nelson so much that I thought it would lead up to something. Nah, his aristocratic and pro-slavery views were never discussed.
Dawg, the subject matter predates Liberalism. It's the napoleonic war. It's history nerd pilled, they're like that cause dudes were like that
Nah, the British Navy is as relevant as ancient Rome as far as modern audiences goes.
Also I recommend Culture Why Are So Many Guys Obsessed With Master and Commander?
I don't mean as an appeal to authority lol fuck Chapo shit, but this article and the quotes are a Siberian winter level take on why the movie is actualy kind of good and I completely agree with all the points.
I can see why you may not like it since there are basicaly two audiences for this movie now. The original viewers mostly nostalgic and the whole early 2000s the end of the blockbuster era(LOTR, Gladiator, M&C etc) and the modern audience looking through all the context of modern society and what Hollywood has become. If you see yourself in the modern audience I guess yeah it probably isn't all that special or even relevant, specialy as a leftist even.
Yeah it sucks about the movie's politics but on a pure entertainment level I still love it. It helps that they're fighting the Fr*nch so it's not like it's a film about Brits putting down a fully-justified uprising or something.
They are fighting the Americans in thr novel and it was the war of 1812. I'm not really sure what politics you'd prefer in an historical drama, it's a pretty accurate depiction of the place and time. People were generally press ganged into naval service at age 14 or so and it was the only life they ever knew, i guess they could go into hat stuff more but it's there. I'm not really sure what you'd want from it without making it an entirely different piece of work
Yeah but the big boat was cool
They were priming it to.be a whole series, but it didn't do as well as they hoped
