maybe an interesting phenomenon in these neoliberal documentaries is their pro-union/anti-union slant in waiting for superman, the film was extremely anti-union, presenting absurd caricatures to make its point. the context was the teaching profession is dominated by public sector unions, and so a pro-union message could not be tolerated in american factory, the union is powerless, non-existent, and utterly defeated. in this context, the neoliberal dogma is safe in being sympathetic with organized labor

Some Guy TT posted:for the longest time i couldnt figure out why obama made this movie because everything i heard about it just made it sound like an indictment of his terrible loving presidency this movie didn't feel sinophobic except maybe in finding a chinese business hiring labor in america as so 'wacky and backwards!' or if you're an american and are insanely sensitive to people talking about you the way you talk about literally everyone else it was effective at making me realize workers of the world have the same plight and nationalist sentiment, I wish, could go the gently caress away I haven't seen it in a while but that's what I remember babypolis posted:i havent watched the movie but from your description and what the directors have said it sounds pro union I was surprised that unionization seemed to be shown as something that would have alleviated tensions and when they voted against unionizing it seemed mostly do to pressure and propaganda from management down, which was portrayed as a loss, not a victory. I also love the american guy who spoke chinese and somehow thought talking poo poo about americans in mandarin would win his pathetic loathsome self a few friends but no way it didn't make everyone feel he was a gross bastard Modest Mao has issued a correction as of 12:19 on Apr 5, 2020 |
