    Yeah. Now tourists in Spain will expect Semana Santa's penitents to start pursuing
    blacks and burn crosses.

    Wouldn't know. But makes for a good story if not true.

    Hello, moviegoers! Since my reputation is at an all time low and I cannot ruin it any further, I have decided to post a review of the naziest of the naziest films. A film more Nazi than Triumph of the Will. A fill so Nazi, that it was Nazi before Nazi was a thing.

    Brave of you. Bravo. I've only seen short snippets of this movie (all I could stand), but I suppose I may give it a go again some day. Thanks for doing this.

    Actually, the first half of the film is moderate as far as racism goes. It is completely partisan and biased, and certainly has segments that seem to suggest that
    "them niggas'" are happy when submitting to the will of their Masters, but it is
    nothing compared to the horrors to be found on the second part.

    The second part is outright cospiranoic lunacy about politicians using black people to
    destroy the South.

    I consider the second part to be on par with the woke propaganda we are getting with
    films such as Mrs. Sloanne. It just happens to be on the other side of the spectrum.

    I'm pretty sure I've only seen snippets from the second half.

    No. It is not something I planned to do.

    I got burned by Hollywood with that Black Panther monstruosity which shoehorned identitary politics so hard in a flick that should have been very serious business,
    about guys in funny customers beating other guys in funny customes. Then I got burnt
    with Western cinema in general with Mrs. Sloanne (summary: leftist politican organization is portrayed as heroic when capmpaigning against a right-wing group of
    heterosexual whites, to the point all their crimes and bribing are morally justified,
    and when the heterosexual whites convince a senator to trash them for the hideous
    things they actually did, they are protrayed as evil monsters).

    You may have noticed I try to watch either very old cinema, or Eastern Cinema. I think
    the most modern US movie I've watched and enjoyed in a non junk-food sense is Upgrade
    (2018).

    I didn't like Black Panther precisely because the colonizer shit was too heavy to be
    overpassed by all the other merits the film had (which it did).

    The premise of the film was that a black country had managed to survive and maintain
    its supremacy and cultural integrity by denying entrance to foreigners. If you reversed the premise and the film was about a white country that had managed to
    survive the cultural slaughter from blacks by denying them access, it would have been
    labeled as a racist as fuck film, and for good reason.

    I am lenient towards old films when they do things like this because I tend to consider them a product of their time. Shaft trying to save Harlem from white cops and
    white mobsters was a product of its time. Wakandans complaining for what whites did to
    them and blaming their problems on whites is just racism introduced with a political
    agenda and pisses me no-end.

    it didn't deny entrance; they hid their country. it was the most advanced nation on the planet. they had the vibranium and kept it to themselves.

    in the comics they are now an intergalactic empire.
