It's not really a massive stretch. That's barely even coded language. Instead of dog whistling, he speaks into the bullhorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 8 hours ago, grey ghost said: Winter Soldier explores the infiltration and take over of our government by a neo nazi cult meanwhile, alt right/white nationalist leader, Steve Bannon purges the National Security Council in real life. Civil War explores how the fight to keep Americans safe is causing innocent people to die in overseas war zones which creates new enemies everyday and that the government's attempt to keep an air tight grip on any potential rogue elements not only restricts the individual, it also breeds distrust and uncertainty among civil servants, activist and even community leaders. Also such government control can easily be exploited as we are seeing now with Hydra taking over national security and the executive branch. It's safe to say both movies had a unique message that equally deserve attention and reflection. RO is extremely relevant. Obama had to destroy a database on Muslims moments before Vader err I mean Trump took office. And who knows what internal battle and secrets the intelligence community is struggling with as we speak. I wouldn't be shocked if some secrets were being kept from Steve Bannon and Trump to stop the complete ruin of our constitutional democracy and prevent the rise of American fascism. Of course this all sounds like insanity but we're living in an insane time. We'll need heroes like the ones in these "silly" movies to persevere. They don't use capes or lightsabers but they exist. They always do, nevermore than during times like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the movie have even done well with a better release strategy? It seemed like a prestige Scorsese film that was more tailored towards the awards (rip) than the general audience... The movie is too cerebral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is too cerebral I think it could have at least crawled to over 10m with a slow but focused rollout instead of a pointless huge expansion. But first it needed to come out somewhere outside of a ridiculously packed awards season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were up to me I would have pushed it back to give it a grand premiere in Cannes or something followed by a quiet Tree of Life-esque summer run. I remember Scorsese insisted in an interview that it was gonna come out in 2016 so maybe it was his personal wish to get it out as soon as possible but I'm not sure why he'd push for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the winter is when the prestige films actually succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
