Yeah. As I said to my brother after the movie, it felt like they couldn't decide if they were doing a period piece or a modern allegory. And one of my most hated fictional tropes is the one character that has magically modern attitudes in a world where there's no place for them to have learned it.

magically modern attitudes in a world where there's no place for them to have learned it.

Yeah, I'm not so fond of this either. There's a scene where the dudes say "hey why can't we just all BE INDIVIDUALS AND DO WHAT WE WANT" or something like this HUGE AMAZING REVELATION AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, and I'm like UGHHHH like I'm getting AMERIKAH=FREEDOM shoved down my throat. The worst, most rah-rah shallow interpretation of individualism ever.

But I digress. It's just a Disney movie, and it was fun. Even if it was not a good analysis of power and duty.

It's an American movie by an American corporation. Yes, it's going to be infused with American ideals. Don't watch if you don't like it.

I'm so sick of anti-Americanism by people who are watching American media. Read the damn label next time.

Oh dear, LOL, did you miss the bit where I said "It's just a Disney movie". That kind of mental sleight of hand is necessary when watching US pop culture, it almost doesn't bear mentioning, except maybe to patriotic anons.

So, by implication, Americanism includes warping the facts of history to support the ideals we liked to believe we embody even at the expense of realism?

...actually, that sounds about right, nm.

It's not anti-America to be annoyed that a show where the PLOT, STORY and CHARACTERS are NOT AMERICAN go off and ACT AMERICAN. It doesn't make sense, THEY'RE NOT IN AMERICA.

I was expecting a crying eagle and everything, considering eagles don't cry.

Because watching an American movie means you MUST support American ideals or else you are bad and wrong and anti-American nationalism!!!!1 Not just that, you know, you're voicing your displeasure with it. Because ~IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY (about America), DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL~. (Or, really, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then stfu and get out of the country if you don't like it!!!!1".)

Also, it REALLY bothers me when people say things like, "DON'T WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT". How the fuck do I knew whether or not I like it until I've watched it? WAT? Do you guys seriously just not bother to think these things through before you say them?
