Racist, sexist and Xenophobic


This film was racist, so racist towards Muslims. Portrayed them like violet, immoral cavedewlers and the american as the beacon of Good. It made me feel sick. The main charcter was creepy towards women, and the women were only portrayed as sexual objects.

For me, This film portrayed a negative, vacuous, ultra-capitalist and xenophobic view of america.

Another obvious troll being obvious. Though you're right, they did portray Muslims pretty accurately, didn't they?

reply

Muslims are a race. What an absolute imbecile.

reply

Yeah, it was pretty great.

Then don’t watch it.

And last time I looked, many Muslims are struggling to survive in desert towns in the Middle East and in fear of local warlords and Muslim terrorists.

Also, the film didn’t say all terrorists are Muslims. Just the terrorists in this one film. It isn’t racist if people like that actually exist in the real world.

As for the rest, you obviously didn’t pay attention.

Stark started as a shallow Playboy millionaire who sold weapons but then he learned he was wrong about his direction in life and turned away from that to become a more just man.

It’s called the hero’s journey.
