The Matrix was pretty interesting. Unfortunately it went full idealist in the end with the whole christ allegory.

People need to stop using "Marxist" to say "anything vaguely anti-establishment" tbh

You don't even have to go far to see this in action. Just look at the (admittedly few) people here like Howard Scott who say mankind is meant to emulate technology, or that nature mirrors technology, etc.

The Matrix is good but the sequels are so

Just

Look at this

They Live is actually fascist. It doesn't want to be but is.
The hollywood format of storytelling is simply not suited for some kinds of messages and content.

I dunno about any of that gay Marxist shit, but Escape from New York is a pretty sweet movie.

The marxist message in the Matrix wasn't even hidden tbh. The movie starts with an explicit reference to Baudrillard, in the scene where Neo puts the money in the stash book.

The movie is also humanist, utopian zionist, and directed by two closeted trans-women.

The Matrix was made by trannies.

Kung Fu Panda was made by two men.

I've never heard of this interpretation before. Care to elaborate? Not disagreeing with you just wondering.

I'm pretty sure the fascist interpretation is that the aliens are jews.

...

Your point?

Aw, fuck. You're right. Shit.

John Carpenter is a liberal, not a fascist, my dudes.

Pure ideology.

Well I mean they are correct in a sense. According to post-modernism author intent is irrelevant and all that matters is feels.

Zizek talks about They Live:

War of the Worlds is actually about white men colonizing africa and dying of tropical illness, the aliens represent the colonizing force.

its a post modern cultural marxist movie based on jean baudrillard the french post marxist theorist.
-The machines oppress the humans by means of an illusion (the false consciousness of the proletariat / ideology), the reason humans are batteries is supposed to represent the extraction of surplus value. The reason its not other people controlling the machines, its supposed to be (as in the mature marx, as opposed to the german ideology) the dictatorship of capital over labor, the capitalists are just puppets of the social relation). Morpheus and crew etc are supposed to represent socialist revolutionaries trying to overthrow the system. The red pill is a metaphor for political radicalization. Then the postmodern/idpol part comes in: all the agents of the system are white males, while none of the revolutionaries are. Trinity = woman, morpheus is black, neo is hapa/mixed race (albeit white passing).

Well Neo was supposed to be played by a white actor. Hmm.

Sorry black actor not white.

bullshit incoming
that didn't take long

Doot

They Live has some pretty strong allegories for the superstructure, ideology, class consciousness etc. I mean the aliens literally control our minds with TV and create a smokescreen that prevents us from seeing the truth. Sounds like a metaphor for pure ideology to me.
