glad to see discussing if movies are socialist or not is entering the mainstream

It's already mainstream among people who think "socialist" means "associated in some way with a person whose hair is a nonstandard color"

Western movies are Marxist in that they refuse to portray Marxism, delivering narratives illustrating what a world without democracy looks like. All movies are Marxist

so im on the final season of man in the high castle and this show has officially reached peak grossness with a plot about violent armed black liberation against the japanese occupation because japanese racism against black people is so unprecedented they dont even let black people work in food service

i think the weirdest part of watching this is like nine times out of ten socially conscious fiction about this historical period goes too far in making the bigotry too absurd and man in the high castle does this too but to the completely differently aimed effect of implying that all the bad stuff is uniquely incomprehensibly bad compared to reality as we know it

like youd never guess from man in the high castle as a reference that this was a time period of moral panics and xenophobic paranoia and aggressive government surveillance against political action because these are all presented as uniquely nazi and japanese ideas incomprehensible to people outside of these contexts i mean hell one major plot point seems to imply that nazis are just waltzing into government offices masquerading as dead people and easily stealing all our scientific breakthroughs at no risk of being discovered

i mean we were doing the same level of analysis the day he did it because its kind of cut and dry considering the kind of gun he used

single action 19th century revolvers basically cant go off unless youve fully cocked the hammer and then put your finger on the trigger - they have extremely light trigger pulls when readied, but you still have to deliberately ready them and then start fingering the murder switch

its not like some shady 20th century open bolt smg where if you drop that poo poo itll just start swangin and bangin (for more on the subject see the documentary film True Lies (1994) and its pivotal "Ingram on a staircase" scene)

alec baldwin, as the person holding the purse strings, created the environment where he would be handed a gun with a live round he could use to kill someone with semi-plausible deniability

he also pulled the trigger

he wanted the late, great Jerry Hadley to sing Tony but DG insisted on hiring an internationally recognized tenor (Carreras) rather than the tenor Lenny essentially wrote the part for.

I think that's specifically executive producers, the people who handle the money. same conclusion though, since that was baldwin

Yeah, Alec Baldwin the actor was the unfortunate last cog in a chain of irresponsible behavior who merely did what he was told, trusting that the system in place to prevent such a tragedy was working as intended. However Alec Baldwin the producer helped create this situation in the first place so he should still suffer for it imo.

executive producers are the money. Producers are like project managers + on set a lot. EPs are the billion logos you see at the front that slurp up all the delicious surplus value after the film has been created

Bradley Cooper in ‘Jewface’ storm after Leonard Bernstein trailer reveals prosthetic nose
...
British actor and activist Tracy-Ann Obermann criticised Cooper on social media, writing: “If [Cooper] needs to wear a prosthetic nose then that is, to me and many others, the equivalent of Black-Face or Yellow-Face … if Bradley Cooper can’t [play the role] through the power or acting alone then don’t cast him – get a Jewish Actor.”

Obermann added, referencing Cooper’s performance on stage in 2014 as John Merrick in The Elephant Man: “Bradley Cooper managed to play the ELEPHANT MAN without a single prosthetic then he should be able to manage to play a Jewish man without one.”

The Hollywood Reporter’s chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg called the prosthetics “problematic” when photos from the set emerged in May, and subsequently described the film as “ethnic cosplay”.

In a statement posted on social media, Bernstein’s children Jamie, Alexander, and Nina defended Cooper, saying: “It breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of [Cooper’s] efforts … Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we’re perfectly fine with that. We’re also certain that our dad would have been fine with it as well.”

The controversy follows objections to the casting of Cillian Murphy as nuclear physicist J Robert Oppenheimer – again, a non-Jewish actor playing a notable Jewish figure – in the biopic directed by Christopher Nolan, with David Baddiel describing such casting as “complacent” and “doubl[ing] down” on “Jewish erasure”. Baddiel also criticised the casting of Helen Mirren as Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, writing in the Guardian that “over a period of extreme intensification of the progressive conversation about representation and inclusion and microaggression and what is and isn’t offensive to minorities, one minority – Jews – has been routinely neglected”.

As a Jewish person, allow me to say, on behalf of my people: lol. Lmao.

I have never been on a film set but I bet that even there, pointing a real gun at a random person and pulling the trigger is straight up negligence. If he shot someone he was supposed to be “shooting” and the gun went off and ejected material into that person, the actor’s not at fault there imo. but this is him just waving around a real gun, pointing it at someone for a laugh and pulling the trigger.

also yeah as the executive he should be hanged for going cut rate on all the safety that would have prevented it regardless.
