is this the same as the top new labour films ? :P
the inclusion of Team America is hilarious...
The Iraq / Lord of the Rings comparison is fantastic. I mean, 30 years ago they might have had a valid argument that it had some relevance to the Cold War (although in that case Elrond would have had to snuff Aragorn in order to make it easier for Saruman to rape the shit out of Gondor and Rohan[1] on the grounds that it stops Sauron getting a foothold in the west) but about the only comparison with Iraq is that they're both wars.


[1] no, not that Rohan
Yes

tolkien hated allegory, and the filmakers were very well aware of that fact.


still, any numpty can impose anything they want over anything else really - the only limit is the power of one's own limited imagination! Lol
Keep JUMPin ya Bastids
Yeah - but Heartbreak Ridge IS total propaganda.

Surprised they didnt include MIA...

Quote:10. Ghostbusters (1984): This comedy might not get Russell Kirk’s endorsement as a worthy treatment of the supernatural, but you have to like a movie in which the bad guy (William Atherton at his loathsome best) is a regulation-happy buffoon from the EPA, and the solution to a public menace comes from the private sector. This last fact is the other reason to love Ghostbusters: When Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) gets kicked out of the university lab and ponders pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities, a nervous Dr. Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) replies: “I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!”


LOL tbh

Quote:13. Braveheart (1995): Forget the travesty this soaring action film makes of the historical record. Braveheart raised its hero, medieval Scottish warrior William Wallace, to the level of myth and won five Oscars, including best director for Mel Gibson, who played Wallace as he led a spirited revolt against English tyranny. Braveheart taught that freedom is not just worth dying for, but also worth killing for, in defense of hearth and homeland. Six years later, amid the ruins of the Twin Towers, Gibson’s message resonated with a generation of American youth who signed up to fight terrorists, instead of inviting them to join a “constructive dialogue.” Liberals have never forgiven Gibson since.


fucking hell....

Quote:17. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (2005): The White Witch runs a godless, oppressive, paranoid regime that hates Santa Claus. She’s a cross between Burgermeister Meisterburger and Kim Jong Il. The good guys, meanwhile, recognize that some throats will need cutting: no appeasement, no land-for-peace swaps, no offering the witch a snowmobile if she’ll only put away the wand. Underlying the narrative is the story of Christ’s rescuing man from sin — which is antithetical to the leftist dream of perfected man’s becoming an instrument for earthly utopia. The results of such utopian visions, of course, are frequently like the Witch’s reign: always winter, and never Christmas.


Look! Over there! A strong female authority figure!

Kill her, Lion Jesus!

""This marionette movie from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone is hard to categorize as conservative. It’s amazingly vulgar and depicts Americans as wildly overzealous in fighting terror. Yet the film’s utter disgust with air-headed, left-wing celebrity activism remains unmatched in popular culture""

It's funny because apparently being disgusted by left-wing celebrities is a key aspect of conservatism.
ah right - thought you were saying it was funny it was included rather than that their justification for it was amusing

A Simple Plan is a fucking great movie. Can a story not exist without having a hidden political agenda?

The article isn't about exposing bad guys or hidden political agendas, it's merely pointing out how one can interpret some famous movies as being conservative, even when they are left wing or represent nothing in particular.

As the following quote explains:
"We do not claim that the writers, directors, producers, gaffers, and key grips involved with these films are conservative."
