It's like a decade of liberal fantasy and propaganda shot stylistically with no sensical plot. Wtf lmao.

It's a roast of everyone to the left of that racist ICE guy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49902924) |

This is the most "burgers?" thing I've ever seen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49902927) |

Date: May 26th, 2026 8:01 PM Author: Fat Bozo 10 minutes into the film it's established that white people are bad, black and brown people are good, you can easily get away with left wing terrorism, all white guys want to bang black chicks whether they're lib or con, and wouldn't it be cool to be a terrorist and be in a mixed race relationship. The film absolutely harps on these themes to the point of nauseum. Like we get it, you're a Hollywood shitlib. They must have thought they were making The Godfather when they shot this. They all seem so enthused to be there making this demoralization campaign. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49902925) |

Date: May 26th, 2026 9:54 PM Author: Fat Bozo Update the movie has gotten a lot better. I can see why this won Best Picture. It's sleek, entertaining, and well done even if the premise is the most nonsensical retarded shitlib fantasy nonsense I have ever seen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49903145) |

Date: May 27th, 2026 12:49 AM Author: Fat Bozo Lol it was amazingly well crafted 8.5/10
It dawned on me at the end of the film that Paul's kids are mixed race and he married a Black woman. This must be an ode to that. This movie proves that if you're really talented you can make great art about anything no matter how absurd. Also after the opening scene most of the far left propaganda is thinly veiled and I bet 50% of the audience doesn't even know they're being preached to.
The right wing equivalent of this movie is if a high budget Hollywood film was about a cheerful romp through Nazi Germany. This was by far the most ideologically extreme left wing movie I have ever seen and somehow they actually managed to make it an enjoyable film. |

Date: May 27th, 2026 8:13 PM Author: Fat Bozo Still blown away by the ending with the glaring theme that Paul's mixed race daughter is as real an American as white Americans as Tom Petty's American Girl plays. Paul if you can hear me thanks for ending racism forever. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49904494) |

Date: May 27th, 2026 8:17 PM Author: Fat Bozo It's science fantasy where the fantasy is lib nonsense. Within the premise of an extremely left wing world view that's not real, it's a pretty entertaining movie. He breaks an absurd number of narrative rules that suspend disbelief and it still winds up not sucking somehow. I would almost call it post woke while still being extremely woke. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869291&forum_id=2PHPSESSID=49d358651cc27ec1964643c2a7b5ece2#49904506) |

Date: May 27th, 2026 8:36 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, I disliked the movie a lot. My criticism is if anyone else submitted this script, people would think its written by a high schooler - it's filled with unrealistic characters, not subtle commentary, an incohrent plot and no likeable characters.
I would argue that if you polled 10 people who voted it for Best Picture, you would get 10 different interpetrations of what the movie is about and 8 of them would be wrong.
I think the counter to that is that Anderson has proven himself to be a master film maker, and this is like when a great artist paints a picture of a square and calls it art to spark discussion.
It's not for me because i'm not really into watching dumb people do stupid things for 3 hours.
I think the Lockjaw performance / plotline is what ruins the movie for me. It's just clearly not real. So it was hard for me to get the humor of Leo getting fed up with the idiocy of the leftist movement when the group chasing them is called The Christmas Adventurers Club and Lockjaw doesn't exhibit any characteristics of a real human being. So the absurdity of Leo's plight goes unnoticed next to the absurdity of the the Lockjaw story line. |

Date: May 27th, 2026 8:49 PM Author: Fat Bozo I mostly agree with this but I thought it was more entertaining than you did. The part I didn't like the most was the prehistory leading up to Bob and Willa in the future when they're hiding out in Humboldt County. All the scenes with Perfida Beverly Hills were whack imo. It just seemed like a way over the top attempt to force black female sexuality and interracial lust on the viewer.
You're right about Lockjaw being cartoonish and unbelievable as well as the Christmas Adventurers club. I also felt like there were so many cringey references throughout the film. Benicio Del Toro as wise Latino guy helping la gente while being several clicks smarter than the dumb white guy (who is more or less a reprise of Joaquin Phoenix in Inherent Vice, i.e. we have seen this exact character before).
This is why I call the movie science fantasy. It's set in a nonsensical future world that doesn't exist where the fabric of reality is made by pure unadulterated wokeism. There is far left propaganda baked into every frame. The plot is also totally nonsensical. For instance if the government is fascist why do they need multiple layers of secret societies to be even more fascist? Also if America was run by turbo racist death squads wouldn't they just clear the place out, why would they rely on hot tips about where the sanctuary cities are? It's totally nonsensical as is the premise that a left wing terrorist group could operate successfully for so long without law enforcement ever looking into them.
So yeah it's no different than if you made a movie set in the Third Reich where the SS were plucky friends who just wanted to help you. The whole thing is delusional. That being said I enjoyed it as a popcorn flick of sorts and I think it ranks mid tier among PTA movies. Given such a bizarre slapstick premise he manages to land the plane somehow. |

Date: May 27th, 2026 9:02 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, I agree with you that maybe the biggest flaw in the movie for me is that the stakes are nonsensical.
I was ready to go with the initial movie which appeared to be leftist factions fighting a war against a right wing fascist government (even if it was heavy handed). Like it was almost going to be analogous to the recent Civil War movie but more woke.
But that part is abandoned pretty quick and it was never clear to me what was going on. It's a facist racist government but there's a lot of minorities within the government? And obviously this chick and 60 million other minorities are going to high school and living a normal life, but then she has to be killed because she's mixed? |

Date: May 27th, 2026 9:05 PM Author: Fat Bozo Cr. I picked up on it too. It really makes no sense whatsoever but neither did Tenet and I liked this better than Tenet. The best part was Leo being a Cool Dad, great shootout and car chase scenes, pretty mixed girls. If you ignore like 90% of the movie, its entire premise, wall to wall shitlib propaganda, and the overwhelming notion that everyone involved in making this movie literally wants to kill you and replace your family with 3rd world Beaners it was actually pretty good. It's what I'd call a romp. It was a heckin good time. It's kinda cool that Paul took a preposterous delusional shitlib fantasy that makes zero sense and made a cool action dramedy out of it.
