While watching Fist of Fury for the first time, Mao dissolved in tears, Liu recalled, and said "Bruce Lee is a hero!" Mao watched the film twice more. Liu said he did not know of any other movie that Mao viewed three times.

Does playing Kojima games count as watching movies?

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

Every kojima game is a grey goo of like 400 movies, so it's even better than watching movies.

Random fun fact Mao's favourite song was either Aawara Hoon (I am a vagabond) or Mera Joota Hai Japani (My shoe is Japanese), both from films made by legendary Indian actor/director Raj Kapoor. Listen to either of these songs on a streaming platform, they are honestly amazing, and try the translated lyrics, you'll see why he liked them

While watching Army of Darkness for the first time, Maduro dissolved in tears, Villegas recalled, and said "Bruce Campbell is a hero!" Maduro watched the film twice more. Villegas said he did not know of any other movie that Maduro viewed three times.

The revolution will have our own Grammaton clerics

Except ours will use hammers and sickles and the muzzle flash will be a big star instead of a cross

"Through analysis of thousands of recorded transactions, the Marxist has determined that the geometric distribution of linen in any economic system is a dialectically predictable element"

The Fr*nch dubbed Maoist theory over a Kung Fu movie:

"The film utilizes footage from the 1972 martial arts film Crush by Tu Guangqi, which tells the story of anti-colonialist revolt in occupied Korea, which was dubbed over by the filmmakers in an example of détournement. Viénet's intention was to adapt a "spectacular" film typical of the film industry to the purposes of a radical critique of cultural hegemony and thus an expression of subversive revolutionary ideals.

The narrative focuses on a conflict between proletarians and bureaucrats within state capitalism. The proletarians enlist their grasp of dialectics in the fight against their oppressors, while the bureaucrats defend themselves using a combination of co-optation....."
