probably not going to watch the new dr strangelove anytime soon here but god “I heard this movie I didn’t watch does something wrong so I’m not gonna watch it and assume it’s propaganda” sure is a fun microcosm of the way people online and especially tumblr talk about media

#flat out I do think 'they didn't spend time to focus on the perspective of these people who suffered as a result of this story' is a fine #criticism to make!#in a 16 hour movie you definitely can do a 10 second pan shot or a couple still frames of text giving some additional context or something #but describing what isn't there doesn't always describe what IS there and. I don't think its possible to look at the convo about this film.#and legitimately come away with the assumption that its a pro US military state propaganda story about how cool the bomb is #But especially if you're going to act as a Film Critic for the movie maybe. go watch it? and see for yourself what the message of it is?#maybe it does suck from top to bottom man I dont know I havent watched it thats the point of what Im saying like.#you unfortunately do need to be exposed to things in order to be able to talk about them beyond a surface level #its one thing to make a criticism about something you actually witnessed in a film #its an entirely different thing to complain about what you Think happens in something you chose not to watch
