America: The Motion Picture

The Kazakhstani didn´t understand that Sascha made fun of the Americans prejudice about foreigners and fascists didn´t understand that "Troopers" made fun of fascists.

It´s OK.

The wokeism is so obvious that the movie makes fun of it.

The tropes of modern movies are there. You get sucked in to cheer for America, even though you´re constantly reminded about how hollow it is.

The end... well, that IS America today.

Nietzsche said that every condition has its opposite built in, which eventually turns it into its opposite.

It is blooming today, but it was built in at the creation.

It happens to be about America, but the same goes for all national myths. They´re myths. This one is so exaggerated that it should be obvious.

A healthy dose of self-distance.

The thing that surprised me the most about this movie was how boring it is aside from the first and last 20 minutes. The humour has its moments, but the majority doesn't really work, at least for me. It also lacked action aside from the very end, a lot was off screen or just didn't exist. Overall was rather disappointed as had been looking forward to it for a while.

I'm not sure what I just watched, but I was entertained.

I enjoyed it, you can tell the voice actors had a good time.

But I would guess it will take some time before the people that will be offended, to realize they actually are. And I can support that.

This isn't supposed to be a Monty Python sketch or a nuanced satire. This is supposed to poke fun at the ultra patriotic Bro dude history that people homology together into our past. This is the version of America where Lincoln rides a grizzly bear into battle on a t shirt. It's chock full of references and humor and while not perfect I found it ridiculously entertaining and I'm a historian. Just don't take it so seriously.

I suspect the many jabs at trash US dude-bro culture offended the less intelligent and well read viewers. Make no mistake, this movie is completely nutty but also shows how far America has fallen.

Made me laugh out loud several times. But what do know, I'm just a pinko European who travelled through 30 states.
