Anastasia (1997) has to be a contender. The message is literally “communism is bad because it got in the way of the Romanovs having fancy parties and wearing expensive clothes”
It’s not a movie but the show Homeland has done so much fucking damage to the liberal brain. Any initial negative connotations to the CIA were erased by that show. I’ve seen them say that the CIA is a progressive institution filled with liberals lmao.
Not to mention in Anastasia, IIRC the revolutionaries are like crazy and demon-possesed. Because otherwise how could you explain that they don’t love the royal family?
I’ll throw The Help in there. Woke white woman savior, and treats racism as something strictly about individual attitudes and not structural and institutional issues. The world would be free of racism if we were all just colorblind, that sort of bullshit.
Honorable mention: The Blind Side. Rich white woman sees a black kid walking down the road, “adopts him” and sets him on the path of greatness. No amount of white savoirness can save our hero though! Since he’s such a bumbling black guy, he cripples someone for life and needs to be rescued again by white savior.
Based on a true story
hey hate to be an ass but his name is Michael Oher, not Orr. Same prononciation, though.
From relatively recent times: Green Book, Black Panther, any latest Marvel movie which will have a progressive marketing gimmick, and also Crash is 2004 but its liberalness echoes strongly.
the fact that Black Panther is basically “yeah, you’re rooting for the monarch and not the guy whose father was murdered” is hilarious
I have argued this to so many people and I fully believe it. Killmonger randomly goes from “I want control of this wealthy nation to help the oppressed” to switching to “actually I just want to oppress everyone else Muhahaha!” It’s pretty clear they realized that Killmonger was in the right, so they needed to attach some BS “oppressed becomes the oppressor.”
Black Panther is almost worth watching because Kilmonger is pretty dope and did nothing wrong
That movie sincerely holds my all-time favorite Marvel scene – I don’t have many – where Kilmonger meets his dead father and doesn’t show a single emotion. “What, no tears for your father?” My friend summarized it as, “He’s more attached to his ideology than he is to his loved ones,” and I didn’t understand why that necessarily has to be a villainous quality to have.
what do you mean you reject tribalism and want to improve the quality of living for our fellow man? this is evil!
blackpanther is a villain that chooses not to drive imperialist powers from all of africa, and i dont understand how anyone sees it otherwise
Nobody mentioned Harry Potter yet?
all of them collectively, or do we need fo struggle session about which one is the most lib?
If we’re not having leftist infighting about which harry potter book is the most lib what are we even doing?
i dont know
my vote is for deathly hollows, because harry becomes a cop and hermione gives up on ending slavery, and thats treated as a wholesome and good thing
edit; if not for the epilogue, you maybe couldve believed they went on to push for systemic change. maybe. i guess
Don’t know which is the most lib, but the least lib one is definitely Order of the Pheonix
prisoner of azerbaijan has a prison break tho
edit: and the escaped convict is the good guy
