The movie was fun and literally had no overt messaging. There is no need to sully this movie with the tired Fox/CNN political narrative we are all sick of. Yes, some writers have an innate political bent whether it be conservative like Yellowstone and a mature viewer can enjoy it anyway. It was a fun reboot of a classic B movie set in another time and place with a faint link to one of the best characters in the original. Nothing amazing but worth the watch if you liked the original.
I’ve already spelled out the overt messaging. You’re just either receptive to it or are pretending to not notice it which is fine and your prerogative. I find it exhausting and it ruined what could have been a great movie. Instead of “dumb fun” which I’m positive Trachtenberg wasn’t shooting for, it could have been epic
You make this movie sound like Don’t Look Up…..it’s not at all. Cliches …. Sure……political agenda…..doubtful. You don’t have to look at every thing in life like Tucker Carlson. A dumb sci-fi action movie is more fun without the paranoia coloring every scene.
nah, that's how you're taking it because pointing out how ridiculous the politics of it are, that you clearly agree with, rustles your Jimmies. This whole movie was essentially a longer version of that awful montage in 'Captain Marvel' about everyone putting her down, being dismissive, doubting her and her rising above it. Essentially "you go girl" for two hours. I'm all for girl power. I've got daughters and want them to have role models. Just not the liberal Mary Sue versions Disney is pushing. If you can't see the politics in 'Prey' then like I said, you're blind to it because you get your views from Joy Reid and Chris Hayes and this is more of the same.
a couple of laughable observations btw. 'Yellowstone' is not conservative lol. Just because it's set on a ranch doesn't make it conservative. In fact, it's quite woke if we're being honest. You have the evil white men stealing the Native American lands (who themselves stole from others btw). You've got black cowboys. You've got the annoying wife who does nothing but bash white people. How about that awful scene with the dismissive student she had to "educate" on his misogyny? You have Beth beating up Jaime and being smarter and more ruthless than everyone else. Over the top misogyny galore! Hell, he wrote that Antifa character, Summer, based on the actress' real life arrest protesting the Brett Kavanaugh nomination and the whole theme of climate change and veganism is strewn throughout that season. All the actors and creators are as liberal as they come. It's just about as woke a show as there is on TV ffs. Costner is so unhinged he's stanning for Liz Cheney ffs because she's anti-Trump. You can't make this up. Trump broke you people. So mature for liberals to ignore their politics and embrace such conservatism ha ha too funny. And you equating Fox News with CNN is the most laughable thing you've typed. CNN along with the other 90% of msm don't even pretend to be anything but arms of the Democrat party.
