It was enjoyable entertainment for me, I got no overt political message out of it.

May I suggest you not respond with political statements about the movies you or others have watched.

Sometimes an entertaining movie is just that... and entertaining movie. You can find a "motive" if you are predisposed to look for one.

My mom will not watch some movies, because certain actors are in it. And, god forbid the script challenge her pre-conceived notions.

I haven't watched The Shape of Water. No particular reason. I just don't have time to watch every movie that comes out.

I am now intrigued, thanks to you, CharlieD, and may just have to watch it.

That is why I said "at it's best". This is how propaganda works. Not by screaming capitalism or socialism is bad. But by discretely presenting and promoting the idea of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity". Living in such society I've learned to be very sensitive when it comes to propaganda. Generations of "communists" were raised using this kind of movies.


And I am overtly asking that you stop hollering "Propaganda" at every movie I and others enjoy. This forum is not for politics of any kind.

Darn straight. Chuck, almost all news, and in a diffetent way some forms of entertainment are what was once called op/ed, or opinion/editorial. That distinguished it as gact from someone's spin.

Now it's 99% propaganda, one way or the other.

People are lazy and want to be told how to think. Even by entertainment.

Sad, but true. :(
 
We watched "Chocolat" last night.. Enjoyed it a lot..



We haven't been big movie watchers in the past but, we are getting into them a bit now..

And some can't just leave others alone, preferring instead to tell them how to think.

As a side note, relevant to the actual thread, we watched Wonder Wheel tonight. I enjoyed the actors. I enjoyed the cinematography. The movie itself? Meh. I just can't seem to get into any Woody Allen movies.
