I know this is a meme but I’m legit wondering if this is what people thought the movie was conveying.
Remember that a significant number of people thought/think Homelander is the good guy and that Fight Club was aspirational rather than cautionary.
Never underestimate the average consumer’s ability to miss, ignore, and misinterpret subtext.
And Starship Troopers got people really excited about space fascism.
People wanting to be/emulate Scarface.
Are you saying Ryan Gosling is literally a replicant?
What about the Ryan gosling movie where he dates the sex doll?
Lars and the Real Girl is a masterpiece. It is weird, and odd, while respectfully discussing mental illness and grief, and also a town taking care of their own. It is one of my absolute favorite movies. I was always surprised with reactions in this movie. I kept expecting disgust or bullying as a response to him and his “girlfriend”; and while there was a little, he always had defenders, and the ladies in town included the doll in ladies outings and stuff. I LOVE THIS MOVIE
