Just because you're very smart with one field, doesn't mean you necessarily understand other stuff. I think the movie's depiction is true to life. Climate scientists are objectively correct and have good intentions, but those skills don't translate to affecting power.

The worst celebrity death of the last ten years was C. Martin Croker. He was so good playing off of George Lowe.

he's a powerless lib that gets swallowed by the system and accomplishes gently caress-all until the climax where they delude themselves into thinking they gave it their best shot. he's the best part of the movie

i mean, I think he DID actually give it his best shot (but also is human - and corrupted by capital)

the punchline is giving it your best shot DOESNT MATTER!

i think it's reasonable to plot out a course of action that is solely limited to "i need to work within western media to accomplish my goals" when you've been brought up in a system where western media is completely dominant

like any one of us would probably be like "gently caress this, i need to go talk to president xi before literally anyone else" but can we really fault leo for going to the US president and then the US media?

but maybe i'm giving the film too much credit

Which is probably why it ends up roasting liberals and alt right Trump fans more than anything else.

The liberal media got especially outraged how they didn't get a glowing image in the movie.

which is really funny because getting a bunch of rich idiots to go 'oh well guess nothing can be done but at least we TRIED and CARE' is the most lib thing possible. Literally just libs looking in a mirror and getting mad

i just watched the way we were and its a super weird movie in that it romanticizes divorce and dead end relationships not by saying these are ideal life trajectories but by treating them like meaningful life experiences to be appreciated nostalgically as irreconcilable differences over which no one had any realistic control

its a movie that straight up celebrates the fact that no one develops as a character or learns anything and its so blatant in this message that its really obvious how influential it was because compared to say love story the characterization feels ridiculously modern

The most lib thing possible was watching the movie where Elon Musk destroys the planet trying to mine the asteroid, and then writing articles citing the movie as a reason for why we have to depend on the business community to stop covid.

yeah, a lot of the film went over the Lib media's head.

Like how it also roasted the cozy relationship the media has with the White House to push junk science or foreign policy disasters.

I get why some people wanted to very reactively hate the whole movie for not being subtle, but it was as unsubtle as it could possibly be and people still didn't get it. The whole context surrounding the movie makes it way funnier than it would be on its own.

The scene where he totally dismantles Leo's character in a borderline fit is probably the most self-aware thing David Sirota has ever written.

this sucks. I very unironically think The Riddler whips rear end and is probably one of Batman's best baddies because he's just a big dork who's obsessed with proving how smart he is even to his own detriment, which actually makes him Batman's best genuine 1:1 foil and rival despite him not typically being the 'high stakes' sort of antagonist.

Don't make him ~TwIsTeD~, he's a loving dork!!!! That's why he's fun you dumbasses!!!!
