Leftist Cinema

...

It does the opposite. It shows how Ray Kroc uses bullshit laws like private and intellectual property to effectively steal from the actual founders of the McDonalds franchise. It not only disproves the whole "meritocracy" fantasy while showing how property can be equated to theft.

the lego movie is ultimately a piece of neoliberal propaganda that plays with anticapitalist sentiments for its own ends.The structure of the film is bonkers. the final scenes , in which lego world is revealed as a commodity shrine located in a suburban basement, brought to life by a child's creativity, are quite jarring. the villain of the movie, a business themed super-villain called President Business is eerily similar to Donald Trump. at the end of the film, president business is revealed to be one with the child's father, played by will ferrel, an archetypal 50s dad, representing the ur authority principle.

Good doc about Allende

That's pretty interesting, actually harsher than I'd have been on what I've seen. What specifically would you recommend? I got the impression that his Essay Films (e.g. Historie(s) Du Cinema) were more transgressional.

Godard grew up very bourgie but that's sort of the point, if that makes sense. After 1967 or so, he swore off the entire history of cinema as bourgeois and began a radical period (I haven't dug into any of those yet, so I can't really speak of them). But with Breathless up to Weekend, he did a lot of work dissecting the culture and ideology French bourgeois from the inside (the protagonist of Pierrot le Fou can be looked at as Godard mocking himself and the notion of revolutionary bourgeois), the influence of America and the West on European cinema, the way narrative and even technical methods of cinema can corrupt reality, etc.

Wiki on his film La Chinoise, which mixes its story of the development of a Parisian student Maoist cell with interviews with real students and philosophers in France:

A lot of his stuff touches on the irony and unfortunate inaction of bourgeois leftism in first-world countries.

That's actually very, very interesting. I'll put that on the next time my dad and I are looking for something to watch

Wrong pic, already posted that

has anyone here watched Neruda? Its a fucking amazing communist movie about real life happenings in Chile, outside of some meta-artsy faggotry thrown in randomly

What did you like about it? Was it historically accurate and where do you live?
