I’ve been sick of the marketing push about this for months by now. Just let it be over punished-bernie

      Nolan stans here already tried to defend the latest BWAAAAAAAAAAAAM but I feel vindicated that it’s been identified as yet more reactionary shit from a reactionary shithead. sicko-yes

        A 2 hour toy commercial about an Aryan children’s toy with blonde hair and blue eyes that was created to give little girls body dysmorphia so they would grow up to be obedient housewives

        versus

        a movie about a famous scientist with friends in the CPUSA who gave money to leftist causes and helped defeat fascism and was suspected of communist sympathies himself.

        But Chris Nolan made the second one so it’s reactionary. Forget about death of the author

          There’s a scene where a middle schooler virtually quotes this to Barbies face and calls her a fascist which makes her cry

          You’re blissfully ignoring the Nolan spin on the story. It isn’t some magically nonpolitical presentation; it is yet another Nolan spin, this time on Oppenheimer, complete with anticommunist bullshit mixed in which downright warps the biographical story. Clearly you’re stanning for Nolan movies and made an entire alt account just to reactively rage at me to defend the good name of your favorite cryptofascist movie treat man, so I don’t know what else to tell you except better get your next alt account made soon, you silly superfan. sus-soviet

          Forget about death of the author

          Yes, I rather would because it’s used by reddit-logo types like yourself as a thought terminating cliche to excuse your own failures of literary comprehension.

          EDIT: I may have been mistaken about how this particular Nolan film plays out compared to all the ones I saw before and disliked for similar reasons, and I am willing to believe the testimony of one person replying who explained how the film plays out. That’s nice, and I’m glad. On the other hand, the standard issue frothingfash toxic fan that showed up in the below comment chain (and made another alt account specifically to go frothingfash at me as of only ~30 minutes ago) reinforces why I like to steer clear of Nolan movies and especially their fandoms in general.
