More Cuckold Propaganda Coming Out of Europe
I'm shocked.

Didn't see it as "cuckold propaganda". The son was clearly meant to represent the French body politic and the story line the migration crisis. As the son is portrayed as an absolute imbecile it is pretty clear where Verhoeven stands on the issue. The message is that France has become a nation of weak, stupid, and partly deranged people that are manically embracing their own suicide while the elites smart and enough and strong enough to do anything about it (represented by the parents) stand aloof consumed with their own self absorbtion.
shareI don't think that was Verhoeven's idea at all. I'll repost what I wrote in another thread:
I don't think the film is supposed to criticize the number of immigrants in France at all. Verhoeven chose a biracial baby because that way it was easy to see that Vincent wasn't the baby's father. Michèle didn't freak out because the baby was black; she freaked out because Vincent didn't say anything and pretended the baby was his, and because she was asked to financially support a child unrelated to her.share
I think that, as the time went by, Michèle realized Vincent cared for the baby. She criticized him when he quit his job because of some stupid reason, telling him that he had a family to support. In the end Michèle made peace with Josie and accepted Vincent's choice. My conclusion is that this also says that a parent is not a person that gives birth to you, a parent is a person that raises you.
It is both, as France and many other countries are being cuckolded by their mass immigration.

You know nothing about Europe or about anything outside of your own anus.
Well, hip-hip hooray for your cheap climax!
You took the blue pill instead of red one?
