I used to have a vaguely negative opinion of Cheney because that's how I was told to think but after watching this movie I thought he seemed like a pretty cool dude
Starting a war that killed millions to make money is one thing, but at least he didn't advocate for the border security of his own country, that would be REALLY evil. >this is what normies actually believe now
>we need more money, 56 billion to secure the border isn't enough! Stack more shipping containers, that'll do the trick!
this is what the average fox news viewer genuinely believes.
isn't it funny how they beg for money while saying everyone else is too wasteful? I guess it's always your pet project that needs the pork barrel, right anon? :^)
I don't disagree at all that it would be turned into a an ineffectual pork barrel project by any of our leaders today. I'm only highlighting the absurd moral inversion involved with the goofy >At least Bush and Cheney carried themselves with dignity!
or whatever psyop makes it to the front page of reddit these days. For the record though, yes, I do think billions should be allocated for border security. If we can afford to police borders on the other side of the fricking planet, we can do it here.
I thought Bale did an ok job but honestly have a hard time remembering anything in particular about the movie. Nothing about it was surprising, it has the exact same smug tone of "Don't look Up" where you know you are basically watching a series of throw away jokes and impersonations by libshit actors who hate actual working class americans.
>A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (commonly known as the "Clean Break" report) is a policy document that was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard Perle for Benjamin Netanyahu, the then Prime Minister of Israel.[1] The report explained a new approach to solving Israel's security problems in the Middle East with an emphasis on "Western values." It has since been criticized for advocating an aggressive new policy including the removal of Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and the containment of Syria by engaging in proxy warfare and highlighting its possession of "weapons of mass destruction". Certain parts of the policies set forth in the paper were rejected by Netanyahu.[2][3]
>In the days after September 11, Mr Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, mounted an attempt to include Iraq in the war against terror. When the established agencies came up with nothing concrete to link Iraq and al-Qaida, the OSP was given the task of looking more carefully.
>"None of the Israelis who came were cleared into the Pentagon through normal channels," said one source familiar with the visits. Instead, they were waved in on Mr Feith's authority without having to fill in the usual forms.
>The exchange of information continued a long-standing relationship Mr Feith and other Washington neo-conservatives had with Israel's Likud party.
>The Israeli influence was revealed most clearly by a story floated by unnamed senior US officials in the American press, suggesting the reason that no banned weapons had been found in Iraq was that they had been smuggled into Syria. Intelligence sources say that the story came from the office of the Israeli prime minister.
I understand that thematically, ending the film with the betrayal of his own family showed that this previously-established boundary he had still won't stop his pursuit of power, but it really understated the horror that was the illegal 2003 invasion of Iraq. It also had your standard Bush apologism. I was already not liking it but then the Shakespearean soliloquy made me want to issue a fatwa against McKay.
Would've been kino if not for the mindless climate change shilling and Bush apologism. The editing was also pretty obnoxious like a lot of Mckay's movies. That being said it had a solid cast, production, just awful execution.

The problem with this film is that Oliver Stones' W. is a lot better.
I think Mackay should have done vice later in his career - it's not bad, and actually gets better woth time, but his raw emotionalism comes through too much in a way that isn't well suited to the dark tale of dick cheney. Mackay course corrected a lot by shifting to straight satire as in don't look up
>I think Mackay should have done vice later in his career
No. He should have stuck to boner comedies like Step Brothers. Now he's just a preachy libtard who makes edutainment for midwits with ADD.

I think that both of you have good points, Adam McKay should have stayed in comedies for a while, he would have learned to be more subtle , but also I think it showed how he was biased ( which is not bad ) but I think he takes himself seriously.
>I think it showed how he was biased ( which is not bad )
When you're a mouthpiece for a cult of ideology it's definitely bad. Mix that up with condescension from a sheltered existence and you get heavy-handed preach to your own choir trash like The Big Short, Vice, and Don't Look Up.
You know what never made sense in The Big Short? When Steve Carrel's character at the end is all serious and says >OH NO WE MUST PROTECT THE POOR AND IMMIGRANTS FROM THE INEVITABLE BACKLASH
Does ANYONE know what the frick he's talk about? Who blamed poor people and immigrants? It's literally insane, deliberate misdirection from the writers so that everyone on earth would stop thinking about the Banking Tribe that everyone (literally everyone) knew was responsible.

I miss the old comedies he did, it sucks he’s doing all this midwit liberal pandering shit now. Don’t Look Up May genuinely be one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

You're one of the people who cheered at his monologue he said into the camera, aren't you?
It could have been good, but for the heavy handed shit they put into it. The fake ending, the heart donor, etc.
What a waste of Bale's physical transformation. They should have played it straight and it would have done much better.
They didn't need to indicate that Cheney is a hard-ass, just showing the guy as is should be enough. Those dumb fricks.
republican bad
democrat good
glad you agree
It do be like that senpai
I used to have a vaguely negative opinion of Cheney because that's how I was told to think but after watching this movie I thought he seemed like a pretty cool dude
all the same to me
Adam Mackay's second best kovie currently

nobody mentioned anything related to trump, stop being a /misc/Black person and talk about the fricking movie

>Bush apologism
How?
Sam Rockwell's Bush has no agency
But that's true to life.
Bush did a lot more than you think, zoomie.
The movie frames Bush as so incompetent that it was Cheney who did everything for him, "he was just a wacky guy who dindu nuffin!"
Makes Mckay look like a hysterical child and Cheney look cool

It sucks, and Adam McKay is a hack who should stick to low-brow Will Farrell comedies.

It's not a parody of Republicans, it's a parody of how liberals view Republicans
Vice, Talladega Nights and The Other Guys are pure Adam McKino.

Hardest I laughed in a comedy possibly ever
I loved how the hobos liked to frick in his car.
It was shit. I fricking hate when comedy characters try Le serious role frick off steve carrell
I think it made Cheney seem cool.
Comfy dumb dumb Bush, however much apologism it embodies, is comfy to me.
Sam Rockwell is relentlessly charismatic.
You're one of the people who cheered at his monologue he said into the camera, aren't you?
>hurr durr Bush is a moron
Terrible movie.
The Bush administration was the beginning of the downfall of America
no, immigration and nationality act of 1965
I like when Bale thanked satan for inspiration and threw up the triple 6 hand gesture. Real subtle, real mature.
Actors are prostitutes of the soul.
it sucked.
It had "The Big Short" style of storytelling but bad.
It had one of the best trailers of all time but all the 4th wall breaking ruined it
Also yes I jumped at that scene, frick you
It was pretty good. I liked it.
Significantly better than Don't Look Up (2021)
It could have been good, but for the heavy handed shit they put into it. The fake ending, the heart donor, etc.
What a waste of Bale's physical transformation. They should have played it straight and it would have done much better.
