10 Years later and it is still FEMINIST PROPAGANDA!


The trailer itself made me puke a little inside.

Goodbye.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

feminists don't have propaganda. I knew this type of crap would be in the message boards. Get a life.

Everyone has propaganda.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

"Don't you dare Google me!"

Don't do that. Don't turn The Princess Bride in to something a trailer trash person would say as the equivalent of burying your head in the sand. If you want to negate my argument then provide a counter-argument.

At the very least don't use that the first time you speak to someone online as if you've seen me use that word a lot.

I will quote the whole damn movie at you if I want to (and your trailer trash comparison is awkward)! But I don't  Obviously you only used and misused the word once. My point is that not everyone has 'propaganda', and this movie certainly doesn't qualify as that.

Not without coming across like someone who just repeats what they hear as opposed to understanding such a simple quote.

You talking like trailer trash is more awkward.

I can only assume that you find someone saying propaganda as an insult. You need to grow up if anyone is ever going to take you seriously.

I am starting to think that you do not understand half the things you say. Between comparing me to trailer trash for quoting the Princess Bride and telling me to 'grow up', you're just arguing about anything but my point. Propaganda doesn't mean what you think it means.

Feel free to enlighten me.

Here you go:

Propaganda: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.

You see how that doesn't apply to this movie? Or people in general? Real propaganda requires a decent amount of time and effort- not just arguing strongly in favour of something.

I see how you misunderstand what propaganda is. I see how you have a concrete and linear way of thinking. Get away from the limited and fundamental type of "research" you use (Google) and start reading material on the subject. You'll catch on.

Not all propaganda is misleading or sincere and not all of it is as elaborate as you suggest.

The movie is feminist but I wouldn't say it's feminist propaganda. Besides, so what if it is. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

reply

It is feminist, but I do think that it could have done a better job at presenting feminism as a movement advocating for fully informed choices, and acceptance of those choices. Julia (Katherine) kind of accepted Joan's choice, but I still got the impression that she pitied her. Even after Joan defended her choice, she seemed a little upset as Julia walked away. I got the impression that this was because she sensed Julia's disappointment in her choice, but I was left wondering if she felt a little insecure in it as well. I never got the impression that she would enjoy being a stay at home mom. She was excited to get married, but the scene where she defended her choice was the only one where I got the impression that she wanted to be a stay at home mom. When Kristen Dunst's character was talking about their babies being best friends, Joan seemed more excited about her early acceptance into law school.

Thank you, Mr. Trump.

Did you ever notice how many troll such ridiculous nonsense and then never respond when their motives or reasoning is questioned? The mark of a true troll!
