Seems like a really weird thing for people to get bent out of shape about.

You could see it that way, or you could consider that it's a pretty weird move to make in the first place. Why not just make a faitful adaptation that heavily relies upon the nostalgia factor to make money? What is wrong with that? Disney's marketing tactic for the last few years has been "this ain't your grandma's _______." It's the lamest form of pandering. They could be making bank if they'd just respond to what most of their potential audience wants. The woke crowd wouldn't hype it, but they had disdain for Top Gun Maverick and Mario Bros and those still did really well. Like was said before, just stop listening to them, their praise and shaming are equally empty.

---

I feel like you read 2 or 3 random tweets by psychos in their basement and then just paint with the broadest of brushes. You went from "the entire woke left" criticized Top Gun Maverick, to "go look at reddit and twitter" and I can't think of one person in real life I know (many progressive, liberal, etc.) who had anything but good things to say about that movie. Hell Spielberg stopped Tom Cruise at the Oscars and told him he saved cinema with that movie.

The only person *****ing about Mario Bros was Leguizamo and nobody gives a **** about him at all. So it was him + a few trolls online. Maybe a random axios article that nobody gave a **** about, but that's a far cry from some wave of criticism.

The Left Attacks ‘Sound Of Freedom’ Because It Exposes An Uncomfortable Truth About Moral Boundaries https://t.co/RFKFhsAJLs

— Mollie (@MZHemingway) July 23, 2023

Another reason for the acrimonious treatment "Sound of Freedom" has received may have to do with its grave subject matter. Not that Hollywood is averse to making movies showing far worse portrays of slavery (sexual or otherwise) as in films like "Schindler's List" or "Twelve Years a Slave." These were all historical films where viewers and critics could watch or analyze the film from the comfort and safety of living in a (arguably) more civilized world.

But to watch a film about an egregious problem that's happening right now may be a bit too much for some. Not just because it is emotionally draining, but because it may tug at the consciences of the viewer in a manner similar to how most modern people think about modern consumer goods. They want the comfort and status that technology brings but don't want to see or think about the near-slave (and often child) labor or animal cruelty that goes into producing all of the goods that make our modern lifestyles possible.

It is much easier to look at the world, and a film like "Sound of Freedom," through various ideological "-isms" and "-phobias," which offer a plausible degree of separation from the evils we are complicit in. This way no moral demands are made on us to actually do something about those evils.

It is pretty impressive that Sound of Freedom came in at #3 this last weekend... ahead of Mission Impossible.

I'm wondering if Sound of Freedem might actually overtake Indiana Jones in domestic box office at some point.

There was a thread in one forum that had hundreds of pages and thousands of replies until it was deleted in 2020 or 2021, yet no one from that forum has any knowledge of what was inside it.

There are two types of forum16 posters on Texags, those who posted on Q-anon, and those who's account were conveniently created after the thread was deleted.

Nah. You're either just uniformed, disingenious, a liar, or a dog faced pony soldier.

My guess is all of the above since your statement is 100% false and that's a fact, Jack.

ETA: Thanks for ruining Another thread, Doug. You're seriously the worst.

Conservatives are expending more effort trying to stop people from seeing the Barbie movie than liberals ever did trying to stop people from seeing this movie. Weird how that happens.
