no it isnt, you cannot separate your bias for one second to consider that no matter your stance on immigration, its not an issue just now. this has been happening and will continue to happen as the world becomes overpopulated and consumed by a failing society. its a situation you cant just ignore and compound to politics, it will always be there and because it is seen as such an issue and fueled everybody ends up suffering. not just immigrants or multiculturals everyone loses.

'i dont get you, in a hundred years there wont be one sad fuck to appreciate all this, what keeps you going'

Only a subgroup of the immigration were involved with any sort of violence.

Most were portrayed in a sympathetic manner, like those in fucking cages.

It's incredibly well-made and it develops interesting characters who get us emotionally involved in their plight which means that the tension of the movie is ratcheted up during practically every scene culminating in some remarkably beautiful stretches that are optimistic about existence.

It blames it on the people running things. Not necessarily all white, and certainly not all white people. The government puts people in cages and camps, not spooky white people.

That's the problem with PoC who think they are redpilled. They lump regular old white folks in with the powers that be. As if every old white guy is responsible for every injustice ever done to anyone.

You are actually the retard gobbling up propaganda here. White people in general aren't the enemy. The ruling class is.

The white government is portrayed as being mean fascists who discriminate against the poor third worlders and literally throw them into cages.

>>69035057

Except that race isn't just about "color".

The indigenous British population have been guilted for decades into supporting mass immigration. A majority of the population have been against it since the 1960s, and yet it continues.

https://web.archive.org/web/20141216212846/http://www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/uk-public-opinion-toward-immigration-overall-attitudes-and-level-concern

The indigenous population are set to become a minority, within their own homeland, by 2066.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/8142176/White-Britons-to-become-minority-by-2066.html

This is entirely due to the fact that the left wing Labour Party realized that they could import voters by opening the flood gates of the third world.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/6418456/Labour-wanted-mass-immigration-to-make-UK-more-multicultural-says-former-adviser.html

Great argument
authoritarian governments by definition cannot have checks and balances and therefore hinge on an incredibly small number of people being able to screw everything up for everyone else.

It takes deliberate idiocy to not realize that authoritarians only argue from an emotive perspective. A million people have written about why "muh strength" is stupid, that shit only works if you have a philosopher king blah blah blah you would know this if you were worth arguing with.

I didn't say that. Just that the third worlders are overwhelming portrayed in a positive light, and the white government, who are responding to their presence, in a negative light.

As I said previously, the viewer is meant to associate the actions of the government with political parties who want to stop or limit immigration.

that's the thing you fucking idiot, there isn't any brainwashing

It represents the truth of countries that have lax-ish immigration policies, if you can't fit them all in, you are going to have problems if there is enough demand to get into your country.

You have an obvious confirmation bias about anti-white media messages, and just because it's a thing in some places doesn't mean it's a thing everywhere. The fact that you are so paranoid about it means that those invested in that agenda have succeeded in taking away your power.

Brainwashing through movies and TV does not work, it can only encourage behaviors people are predisposed too. And nobody who is dumb enough to be that easily influenced is going think a certain way because of movies, especially movies that hide there themes in the background like this does.
>>
>>69036139
You should watch the movie again, this time without throwing a fit because there are brown people on the screen, especially the part where all the Fishes meet up, specifically the part where some of the fishes talk about murdering one of their own, and another another innocent person, so they could gather more support for their extremist cause.

And keep completely ignoring the fact that the Fishes, who are in their majority immigrants bomb coffee shops because apparently that's going to help their cause.

>>69036234
I know it's an open ending, we never get the full picture in the whole movie, there could be more fertile women out in the world and the Human Project has some of them in their care. I'm just pointing out how one single fertile person could not turn things around with everything the movie shows up, famalam.

>>69036337
True, one single person couldn't turn it around but it's shown in the film that the main character is the hopeful kind. He's thinking what you are thinking, there could be more.

Most of the third worlders shown on screen are extras.

They're being herded around like animals and placed into cages.

The government is portrayed as being mean white fascists. That fits with the mainstream narrative that those against mass migration are Nazis.

Do you generally think it's unwise to draw real like parallels from fiction? Or do you think my analysis is completely baseless? I don't think your characterization of my viewpoint is very fair.

I recently re-watched it after not thinking about for a long time and I was shocked about how accurate the movie is, the two things that really caught my attention was the women not being fertile and the muslim extremists, the first because of this big scare about this zyka virus, and the second because of how ISIS and the likes are getting so much spotlight these days.

You're just not intelligent enough to watch the movie and not be stuck in your bias. You've simply been in /pol/ too much and actually believed some of the shit that's posted there as a joke.

If the soldiers on the scene on london weren't cracking down on immigrants, all of the people they were defending would die once the crowd of crazed anti-gov miliants got past them. If the Fishes weren't working towards helping immigrants travel around and live safely in the countryside, they'd suffer more in the hands of the government.

So what? Neither did I. The portrayal of the government didn't have to be completely negative for most viewers to consider them evil fascists.

I believe that the director wanted viewers to associate the actions of the government in the film as being the inevitable consequence of supporting anti immigration parties.

there are dozens of studies about how people are not easily influenced by films, television, music, or video games

furthermore, if you could parse language better than a 6th grader, maybe you would understand that:

IF PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB THAT THEY ARE THAT EASILY INFLUENCED, HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY GOING TO PICK UP ON THE SUBTLETY OF THE THEMES IN THIS MOVIE

Its not like anyone goes "white men are terrible, government is terrible, immigration is great!"

It's all implicit storytelling in this movie, so anybody smart enough to look for background stuff and understand the larger themes is going to form their own opinion on shit, that or the movie is just correct in what it's saying (authoritative government can escalate and exacerbate population problems) and you have an emotional bias towards your political views

>subliminal
This is what I don't understand, if you are going to talk about psychological concepts, and use them as centerpieces for your arguments, why would you be okay with being totally uninformed about the field of study you are referencing?

You know nothing about psychology or influencing people if you think it works this way. You clearly haven't read studies about subliminal messaging or how media actually influences people.

This.
It's a incredibly well made film with really strong set pieces, but since /tv/ is basically a combo of /pol/ and /b/, it's cool to pretend to hate it since it has like 2 black people in it.

Cuaron is a hack and you'd have to be a fucking idiot to think it's better than well-made action-adventure trash just because it was sooo complex, it's like we're discussing Boyhood again. Genre seems to get in the way of his best impulses, as it does in Children of Men, which steadily devolves as he moves from thoughtfully suggestive dystopian science fiction to relatively thoughtless and childish action-adventure to even more mindless war movie. Loosely adapted from a P.D. James novel, the story is set 20 years from now in the UK, in a battered world where (for unexplained reasons) humans have been infertile for the past 18 years and illegal aliens are trucked off to detention camps. The focus is on the members of an underground resistance group, one of whom has miraculously become pregnant. As she flees with a few others toward freedom through an almost constant barrage of gunfire and explosions, the story turns into a rather banal suspense plot about whether she and her child and therefore humanity will survive.

The screenplay is credited to no less than five people, including Cuaron — creativity by committee. Despite some striking details and a mesmerizing performance by Michael Caine as an aging hippie, the movie develops from one that could be described in 25 words or less to one that could be described in 10 or less. Not surprisingly, most critics, including me (I wrote a Critic’s Choice for the film two weeks ago), are obsessed with how adept Cuaron is at handling long takes and a complicated mise en scene — we’re celebrating the technique and minimizing the banality of the story.

We know population and self sufficiency is the main problem. And cant do anything about it because even constant warfare doesn't help the ever-growing populations. The only possible solution is killing babies or making people sterile. too bad this film proves that wont help the climate and Clive Owen is so rare anyways.

What I'm saying is, our planet is fucked right now and people care about trivial shit

We've been letting up on warfare for the past couple of centuries if you haven't already noticed. Warfare isn't a good way to control population since barely anyone ever dies in warfare compared to the survivors.

Children of Men isn't propaganda, it's just a movie portraying a thing. You are cancerous filth.

Somebody just wrote a cool scenario for a movie. They were making art, not giving a shit about some pathetic brainwashed cunts who talk about boring identity politics all day.

Literally the best thing about CoM is how on point it was with predicting Europe's current immigration crisis. This movie came out in 2006 before there was much of a hint of hordes of refugees crossing into Europe.

And here we are 10 years later when refugees are coming in en masse, outnumbering the local population by what feels like 5 to 1 as the governments are encroaching more into a right-wing authoritarian bent.

Foot's already halfway in the door and it's not even 2020 (or whatev time this movie takes place) nor is there gonna be a mass infertility plague effecting mankind.
