New Andor ruled but I don’t know what we’re supposed to think about the dead lady giving a speech that could only lead to a massacre? It’s like people only read the first half of a book about the Easter Rising. Resisting the Empire for it’s own sake and vaguely defined notions of liberty or whatever is some lib brained poo poo and got innocent people killed in a riot that would have made more of an impact if it had happened peacefully.

Luthen et al are trying not just to spark unrest but eventually redirect it into what will be the Alliance (and ironically, the final coup that seals the deal and unites the fledgling Alliance will be the Death Star)

mastershakeman posted:Battle of Algiers Watched the Battle of Algeirs for the first time around the start of the year. Great movie. I particularly liked the scene where a French general, brought in to suppress the rebellion, is being interviewed by French reporters and basically says "Yeah we're here to take their resources and gently caress the locals over. Don't like it? Talk to your politicians idc." So good

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:Che is great too! part 1 more exciting than part 2, but 2 def has the bitter defeat if that's what you're looking for This is probably the best possible western-produced biopic about a communist revolutionary you could hope for. It follows Jon Lee Anderson's biography of Che very closely (he might have consulted on the movie), and it's gorgeously shot and acted. Even though del Toro was way older than Che would have been he's still fantastic. My only complaint is that there wasn't an intermediate movie that dealt with Che's tours of the non-aligned and socialist countries, his time at INRA and the state bank, and also his time in the Congo. Definitely worth a Criterion subscription to watch it, if you don't have one already. In other news, Crimes of the Future owns. MeatwadIsGod has issued a correction as of 01:18 on Nov 24, 2022 |

im saint germain posted:Has anyone who's watched Doom Patrol also read any of the comics? I'm curious if any of the stuff from the Grant Morrison run gets tapped for the show. I know what I really want is to watch a show version of The Invisibles, but this might do me enough good for now the comics are really good but i haven't watched the series so i couldn't say. they've been talking about an Invisibles adaptation for ages, last time i heard the guy that made the Sandman show wanted to have a go.

doom patrol is excellent but also doesn't lend itself to binge-watching if that's your thing. every character's storyline is incredibly dense and there are roughly 2-3 major cathartic emotional breakthroughs in a given episode. quality stuff but i am exhausted if i watch more than 2 in a row.

Oglethorpe posted:"which star wars do you like" not disagreeing with you but people don't give lucas enough credit, the rebel alliance was based on the Viet Cong.

It’s like people only read the first half of a book about the Easter Rising. i thought it was pretty funny she mentions that, "i'll admit calling people to fight for their lives is easy for a dead person" but what the next poster said is correct, it's absurd to expect a full blown rebellion to come out of a single action.

It's mostly a matter of, unless you're willing to die for something, you won't win against somebody who is, or doesn't understand the stakes of what they do, i.e. someone with as-of-yet untested and unrestricted social/political power with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. An established fascist order is the latter, and anything that opposes it must become the former in order to overcome that, and while Andor deals in lib-brained nonsense about democracy and freedom, I think it's not much of a stretch to apply it to other things. Active resistance tends to kick off with acts that charitably get seen as martyrdom later on. Stubborn loss. It's a good show, honestly.
