RE: Rambo - Last Blood (film) : So much better than I expected it to be

in #movies5 years ago (edited)

I saw it last week and really enjoyed it.

The criticism of the film was irritating. Cartels and human traffickers are a thing -- yet critics took this movie to be a caricature of all Mexicans, especially as the border crisis is such a big news story these days.

There are bad guys all over the world. Should we make movies villainizing cartels in South America, warlords in Africa or terrorists in the Middle East off-limits because SJWs think making them the bad guys is racist? I think any group of bad guys is fair game, from this movie to the Euro terrorists of movies like Die Hard.

If you watch movies like this and think its a negative reflection of those countries and cultures, I think that says more about your own latent racism than the racism you project on people who enjoy watching bad guys get splattered by good guys.

Sort:  

really good follow up breaking down the SJW nonsense attached to this movie. We need bad guys in movies... do they all need to be white guys from fictional countries in order to not get the perpetually offended wheels turning?

They've turned their attention to Joker now... the criticism of this movie was flying on Twitter before any of the jagoffs had even seen the film. I swear these people sit around in soho starbucks just looking for controversy to stir up.

Joker was going to be a mega hit no matter what they did as long as the film is decent. Rambo on the other hand, almost certainly benefited from the negative SJW accusations. It got me to buy a ticket
