Is that movie supposed to be a gendered flipped Lolita? And was it advertised that way at all? Like is the audience supposed to know about the relationship going in like they do with other movies?

The United States posted:Do you think anyone has that power? Why do you create this imaginary asian bogeyman who threatens to embargo certain types of jokes in art? I asked you a question because you seemed to think that would mean something to us. You missed the loving point. I'd imagine constant saber-rattling towards China is a 1000% bigger source of anti-Asian hate than art. What your loving point here? That only certain things should be permissible in art?

i'm sure the director of boogie nights made a movie about how its actually cool to be a pedophile and a racist. this is definitely a sane reading of the film and not the desperate scramblings of clout chasing twitter children

Especially in comparison to how addiction is otherwise near-universally treated exclusively as a moral/spiritual failing of the individual. And they even touched on how people, cultures and societies justify indulging in and profiting from addictions, and how it can such a no-win situation.

Doctor Jeep posted:was there ever a serious issue those two turds were on the right side of except for the easy slam dunks ("gay people are human too" wow so deep and inspiring, oh and that time the moron cop shits on ayn rand) Their Brittney Spears episode holds up a lot better than most media depicting her at the time as does the episode about the town's quest to gentrify itself so they can attract a Whole Foods. Both their Black Friday trilogy and the Amazon two parter display ideas like how Black Friday violence is purposefully amplified by media and corporations in tandem for both sales goals and audience ratings, and that Amazon's ultimate goal is to redefine Americans as a society of consumer-workers, neither viewpoints that would strike me as libertarian. They were also ahead of the ball on ideas how murky the idea of internet monetization of content is, the scumminess in how modern Disney protects its brand, or the new atheism movement being stupid. They also do things that don't really fit in the normal binary such as how the Craig and Tweek relationship progressed or their fairly lib jokes about Mr. Garrison's (their Trump analogue) relationship with Fox News or how he needs to stop tweeting since its causing mental harm. Their most recent special had antivaxxer character want to do a line of coke until he realized he was being tricked into getting the COVID vaccine and the show never tries to say that he maybe has a point and has him unintentionally state that he is being selfish. I think that even considering Parker and Stone's politics (moreso Parker because he writes the show, Stone mostly manages the production), South Park's two extreme factions with the main characters in the middle routine is only so noticeable simply because it's the show's underlying narrative formula even when the episode is about something more inane like criminals who robbed a Burger King holding the kids hostage at a living history museum where the reenactors are all psychotic method actors. It's just the central conceit of the show and the politics are incidental to that. CPFortest has issued a correction as of 09:32 on Dec 14, 2021 |

KomradeX posted:That was literally an anti-union episode that mocked the idea that WGA deserved new compensation for their work because "there's no money to be made on the internet" You're right but I'm taking that in comparison to their Amazon episodes which has a scene with an Amazon worker talking to a reporter about the importance of how management treats labor and the only joke in the scene is that his workplace injury turned him into a talking Amazon package. My point is that good or bad politics notwithstanding. South Park always has a faction with both outlandish personalities and ridiculous goals that are outraged over something the show's writing portrays as neglectful, stupid, or evil butting up against a lethargic opposition and/or the uncaring/uninformed main characters. Each of the Wal Mart, Towelie, the Alien TV show, "They took our jobs", and Ladder to Heaven episodes along with the Movie all have the exact same formula just off the top of my head. Besides, while they were wrong, South Park isn't unique as a piece of American media that aired circa 2006 to 2009 that had a hypocritical position on the 07 Writer's Strike.

Eric Cantonese posted:I'm so tired. I am interested in watching the movie so I'm not looking for spoilers, but does the segment at least make sense in the context of the film or is it just some random ching-chong-wing-wong poo poo thrown in for shits and giggles? so the bit is this white guy and his Japanese wife (who doesn't speak English) open a sushi restaurant. he talks to her in very slow, loud, racist-accented English and she talks in very fast Japanese. the first scene with them leaves some ambiguity as to how much he can understand her but the next time he shows up, he has a new Japanese wife who doesn't speak English and admits he has no idea what she's saying. the protagonists don't critique or call him out for what he's doing, but the husband isn't portrayed as sympathetic either. it's made pretty clear that the wife is the competent one actually running the place, food and business wise, so the joke isn't exclusively the husband's accent like Mickey Rooney, it's more their weird dynamic as a couple and how uncontroversial his behavior was for the valley in the 70s it's also two scenes total out of the whole film, one of the many vignetted stories theflyingexecutive has issued a correction as of 10:38 on Dec 14, 2021 |

If you're engaging with a work of narrative art and you can't judge a character without taking it as the author's endorsement of that character's actions then I don't know what to tell you, besides that context matters.
