also idk if this is just me but im always so bored of “marxist film critique” it’s like 100% the least interesting part of any movie but it’s without fail intensely lame when written out extensively into a review or analysis. like is any of this really expanding my understanding of any given movie i dont really give a shit if a character is the specific exact same kind of communist as me. especially when most of it is like video essays about which pixar films are secretly socialist af or why marvel movies are capitalist propaganda trying to destroy the minds of our youth sorry jacobin mag but ummmm IDGAF!!!!!!!!!
#just not my lens i guess. not my bag#i think its because theres always a sense of self importance to it. like its Important that a movie is communist or not#and if enough movies are communist then everyone will realize communism is good.#and its like…. yeah but it just a movie.#i feel like doing gender analysis is usually more like… this REFLECTS a perspective about gender#but w marxist analysis its always like… this movie is PROMOTING x ideology or y ideology#idk thats just not an interesting way to approach watching movies to me.
