Goodbye Lenin

Pirates of the Carribean

Pretty much everything by Costa-Gavras, Ken Loach, and Peter Watkins.

How is this film leftist?

It just encourages kids to read.

Brazil (editor's cut) is good if you want a 1984 knockoff. It's by Terry Gilliam and one of the best films in existence.

Exactly

It only encourages kids to read fiction though.

I feel fiction tells you what to think, while nonfiction lets you draw your own conclusions.

Derp, meant director's cut.
If anyone wants to be sold on it there's these two scenes with basically no plot spoiler. It's both a jab at the British and ideas of INGSOC, since INGSOC ala Orwell would actually be absolutely drenched in bureaucracy, paperwork, filing paper, and redundancy.

Yes, it's also where that song became popular and any use of it is a reference to the film.

they should make a new version where the boy meets Marx and Adorno and Bordiga and shit

That thread is my religion.

Also, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is literally one of the greatest anti-imperialist films of all time.

...

Shush and listen to this soulful ballad about reading and the power of the human imagination, sweet child.

Yes, I did that one, actually.

Problem, Ayncrap?

Communism isn't a consumer choice where you articulate your personality by choosing "lefty" media.

But it is a consumer choice…

did OP say "communism"?

Network

8^)

pretty brainlet understanding of fiction faggot

...

literally a fascist propaganda

The Bee Movie recently came on Netflix, and me and my family decided to watch it for the meme. I largely enjoyed, but as the movie went on I noticed something sinister.

The Bee Movie is fascist propaganda.

My family thought I was insane but it's true. Let's look at the story here. Barry B. Benson, faced with the soul-sucking repetitiveness of proletarian life working for Honex, decides to try to free himself and goes outside of the hive. After doing outside stuff, he figures out that bees are being exploited by humans, because humans are expropriating their honey/surplus value. Barry, having achieved class consciousness, starts a lawsuit/proletarian revolution. Barry, with the help of the bee proletariat, wins. Post-scarcity is reached, and fully automated luxury bee communism is achieved.

It should be paradise. However, this is not where the movie ends. Because of some bullshit mismanagement, bees just stop doing anything, including pollination. The world's vegetation begins to die, and Barry has to deal with the guilt of closing his class-traitor girlfriend's flower shop and spelling the end of life on earth as we know it. To solve the issue, the bees work with the humans to solve the crisis, and afterwards, bees continue to make honey and allow humans to use it. In other words, they solve their problems by ending fully automated luxury bee communism and promoting FUCKING CLASS COLLABORATION.

How dare Jerry Seinfeld imply that fully automated luxury bee communism would doom us? How dare he try to tell us that fascist class collaboration is the answer?

Who knew that by watching and sharing increasingly accelerating apian cinematic memes we were helping the enemy?

I don't beelieve it.

It's a joke

Not a movie in the traditional sense, but the Battle of Chile is an excellent three part documentary about the fall of the Allende government. It's tragic to watch, but it provides a lot of insight into why his government fell. It's an excellent and powerful film, definitely check it out, its on YouTube.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

oh nevermind, they used to be all up but only part 1 is on now

Fucking plebs never mention this one

This.

I didn't actually think Reds was so scarcely mentioned on Holla Forums, actually. It's a gorgeous film, albeit a little slow-paced at times. Still can't believe it was actually made.

In fact, it gives me a brilliant idea for a legitimate leftist animated film that children can easily latch onto, though it isn't necessarily alienating to adults.

I was thinking about a sequel to An American Tail that's pretty much Reds for kids. Anyone wanna hear this idea of mine?

Is it actually? I saw a poster for this at my school and it looked interesting but I thought it was anti-communist.

You let one ant stand up to us, then they ALL might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out, there goes OUR way of LIFE! It's not about food. It's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?

what does the bird represent

Revolution.

its literally a choice of economic systems

holy fuck you lefties are dumb

Antz is superior, cinematically and leftist-wise.

Also, Insectopia is quite arguably fully automated luxury bug communism.

...

Finally, media with a message I can get behind.

You are spooked my man and you don't know thing one about Communism or economics.

Go ahead m8

I think the viewpoint of that movie is basically "the communists had their hearts in the right place but the wrong idea."

Koshikei
Woman in the Dunes
Eros + Massacre
Fuck, why was the Japanese New Wave so good?

Very well!

I was thinking the title could be "An American Tail: Red Autumn".

In the first film, Fievel Mousekowitz and his family emigrated out of Ukraine and traveled to America in the year 1885. So, this film takes place in 1917, and focuses of Fievel's only son, Monterey Jackson "Monty Jack" Mousekowitz. A flashback in the beginning of the film reveals that Monty Jack was born in Monterey Bay, California, during Fievel's travels as a young adult. Fievel's wife died in childbirth, so Monty Jack is the most precious thing in Fievel's life, so he vows to give him a good home back in New York City, where his American journey first began.

In 1917, Monty Jack has grown into an enthusiastic, dedicated and fierce-willed political activist, leading rallies, parades and protests with fellow leftist mice as they advocate socialism in America. This annoys the landlady that oversees Fievel's apartment; she always despised Monty Jack for being a "troublemaker". After a rally is violently trampled by union busters, the landlady blames a weary Monty Jack for the violence that happened in the city as a result of the clash between busters and leftists. She almost hits Monty Jack for it, but he grabs her arm to defend himself and pushes her away. He doesn't hurt her, but she yells at Fievel to throw Monty Jack out for good.

Fievel has a talk with Monty Jack on the roof. Fievel tries saying the parental thing and says Monty Jack should have more respect for the landlady, since she provides them with a place to live. But Monty Jack questions why she even deserves respect at all, since she was quite ready to physically assault him over his political beliefs. Fievel comes clean and tells Monty Jack how precious he is to him, and how even though he's supportive of his dreams, he just doesn't want him to get hurt. Monty Jack has the idea then for him and his father to leave together to travel to Russia, where the greatest revolution of all is taking place. Fievel hesitates at first, thinking he's too old for adventures anymore, but Monty Jack tells him, "Dad, you're never too old for adventures… or too young." And thus begins their journey to Russia to join the great revolution taking place there.

As is typical for An American Tail movies, musical numbers are a must. Early in the film, I definitely think Monty Jack and his fellow leftists should march through the city and proudly sing Solidarity Forever in a triumphant chorus.

That's what I got so far. Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?

How is the pagemaster leftist?

top kek

prove me wrong

xD

I thought Elysium and District 9 were pretty left wing.

Blue Collar
Fat City

Elysium for sure, since it's literally what the world will look like in 50 years if we don't transition to FALC. District 9 was more of a clunky allegory for Apartheid, which is still a leftist message to be sure, but not as economically focused as Elysium.

This looks awful.

Triggering a Liberal journalist != anticommunist

Great movie.

This was a good movie, not just because of leftism.

I'd put Matewon in as well. Good movie, and with the addition of leftism. It should be mandatory viewing to show how the government is not for the common man.

Old film list. Not sure how many of these are good. I found They Live to be great, and Apocalypse Now was also fairly good but shouldn't be on the list as it scarcely goes beyond an anti-war message.

Best movie ever

what is so Holla Forums about Apocolypse Now?

It is when you're an illiterate Holla Forums user!

If Hopper is Mao then the bird represents birds.

Damn this film looks brilliant.

...

nuffin. idk why it's there either

Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke are pretty good on social ecology and the hells of porky exploitation.
Just imagine they're not princesses but instead self-electing individuals in a classless society.

Meh, too reactionary.

postin once again

Brazil was really good. Imagine Monty Python, Fight Club, Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, and 1984 all rolled into one.

'no'

I saw this today. Isn't it actually a subtle anti-communist movie? It paints Reed and all the revolutionaries as idealists who, despite having a good heart, ultimately fail. The views of the character played by Jack Nicholson are painted as realistic. It all seems pessimistic to me.

Everything by Buñuel. The Exterminating Angel is based.

source on the bordiga meme at the bottom?

Made me cringe when I watched it
It was liberal for sure, just anti clone-slavery, which is good but it acted like it was revolutionary communism

Is there a rightist films chart?

are you new to Holla Forums?

Norma Rae for my fellow Christian Lefitsts

I've seen one before. Google something like "essential Holla Forums viewing", I think that was the header of the chart. I remember it being shit tier tho. I think the Matrix was on it, even though the Matrix is just apolitical edgelord "simulation theory" gak that both the left, right and centre can use to justify whatever they think is a great revelatory truth.

Has anyone here seen Ikiru? I'd easily say that it was Leftist. Even if it isn't I'd still say it's a very touching and moving film, at some points in my life I regarded it as my all time fave.
I mean what you've got to remember here is how biased your views on watching the film are gonna be, and how much you'll want to see your own arbitrary truth in it. I'm not expressing myself very well but I hope you see what I'm trying to say.

I haven't seen Exterminating Angel, but I'd disagree based on my having seen Viridiana (which I enjoyed nonetheless, but seemed overtly anti-socialist ideals) and An Andalusian Dog (which I guess is kinda apolitical). I can't really remember there being any message in Discreet Charm of The Bourgeois, but I remember not really enjoying it that much.
I think I remember reading somewhere that Brunel was a Marxist tho, so PooPoo to my ideas.

*my opinions

What are some good movies about mental hospitals? All I can think of is Cuckoo's Nest and 12 Monkeys, the beginning of the movie that is.

You might enjoy this movie. One of my favorites

It's interesting how similar the charts are, or maybe that's the point, that Holla Forumsyps look at anti-capitalist messages and take "capitalist" to mean "jewish cabal" instead.
