So these pavlovian responses truly are a sign of the times?
And then maybe my embrace of this movie comes as a response to what I see as my own country's failure to take a stance, any stance, towards anything.
And then this extremist propaganda "take a stand" movie becomes a sort of wish fulfillment fantasy for me.
But is it really so easy as it is a gutresponse to the propaganda feel (the entire movie being an "on the eve of battle" speech I find this appropiate), or is there something else at root here.
I ask because all these other elements you keep mentioning like racism, misogny and homofobia do not present a problem for me. Yes I have to deal with both my own and other peoples predjudices every day, but the bottom line is that I do not reflect on it much, mostly because being either of those three is unnatrual for me.
But then so is being political correct.
And I am struggling to articulate what I mean here.
