Why doesn't Avatar (2009) get more credit for being pretty based politically? (hexbear.net)

Blah blah Avatar, 3D sucks blue cat people DAE no cultural impact?? Can you remember any character names??

but seriously it was bold as fuck for someone like James Cameron to make something so blatantly anti-US-military at a time when literally the entirety of Hollywood was united in jerking off American imperialism. It was not the least bit subtle and that makes it all the more impressive that Cameron was able to make a pointed takedown of Iraq-era militarism on such a scale.

The matrix is a movie where a bunch of Gen X dropouts decide to do something with their life, and by "Something" I mean snort estrogen and blow up a building and literally shoot The Man right in the head. The terrorists are the good guys, the bad guy is your boss, and the explicit path to liberation is a workplace shooting.

Best movie of the 20th century.
