BrigadierSensible posted:On the Rambo/Rocky talk: America ended the seventies as a country which had for the first time lost the war and being in economic turmoil and uncertain about its role in the world. It would have been a perfect moment for an introspective examination for its reason to being and how to build a better future. America chose Ronald Reagan.

Violet_Sky posted:I wonder if the film was popular in Japan Probably. James Bond was wildly popular all over the world. One of the reasons why Connery quit was that while they were shooting the YOLT in Japan, a paparazzi opened the toilet stall he was in and took pictures. I would too *ahem* lost my poo poo if my privacy was taken from me because I play secret agent in movies.

Ambitious Spider posted:At least in Temple of Doom Indy gives the artifact back to its rightful owners. Last Crusade is probably the least problematic, and might be the best. Connery and Ford are great together, and it's just classic nazi punching. The only woman character is a literal nazi whore.

rodbeard posted:Ross Perot's run for president was partially based on his belief in that exact insane conspiracy theory. I wonder how many people flying one of those POW/MIA flags know that that's what the flag was originally designed to represent. I think it was part of Reagan's political campaigning at the end of 1970's.

Yeah it's funny that the reputation of Saturday Night Fever is "that light hearted romcom where Travolta dances", when it most certainly isn't. But if something is light, it's the music. I love the strings on this song. It's like slowly sinking to a pool filled with marshmellows and candycone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy0rYUvn7To

It's also kind of meta that the film's director is planting racist and misogynist ideas to the main character's head.

When I was in bad place a decade ago I watched Taxi Driver about once week. I didn't aspire to become Travis Bickle, but the film's masculine alienation and frustration spoke directly to me. It is easy to miss that Bickle is just a fool and killing a couple neighborhood gangsters doesn't actually solve anything. Nevertheless I doubt that there isn't single man in the western world who wouldn't regognize what Bickle is going through.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Last year, one of the cable channels - maybe Vice? - did a multi-part series on Lewinsky and the entire scandal. It made me feel terrible for her - and retroactively angry. A twenty-two intern is propositioned by her boss, a man more than twice her age, and she's the one made out to be a temptress in the media. And the boss is literally one of the most powerful men on Earth. Talk about power dynamics.

The book Bond is a shithead and he's meant to be a shithead. It's just that he's a shithead who drives the coolest cars, eats the best food, drinks the best drinks and has the craziest of adventures. So you might confuse the shitheadness to being cool and confident.

nonathlon posted:If you think about True Lies at all while you're watching it, it's a crappy movie. Man neglects his wife, she gets unhappy, he entraps her. The villains are comically ineffectual to that point that it didn't seem like a fair fight. Our hero solves it all with overkill via a jet fighter in the end. Wife is happy now she knows her husband is a professional killer, because it's more interesting? Family stays together. It's the story of a man who is awesome badass, but other people don't know that, but belatedly come to agree. When I watched True Lies couple of years ago it was a weird experience. Yes, it is a comedy, but it was sometimes hard to figure out what I'm supposed to laugh at. Ok, car salesman is a sleazeball, funny. Arnie mindfucks and tortures him just for kicks? Played like a joke, so ha ha, I guess?

Keru posted:I think my favorite example of movie 'translation' has to be the old 50's cult classic "Them!" about giant radioactive ants, which for some reason was translated as 'Spindlarna' when it released here in Sweden. Well Spiders at least sounds like an horror film. "Ants" sounds more like a peaceful nature film. Or possibly a drama about hard working people. Movie titles are part of the marketing.
