RE: The Content That Merely Entertain Vs The Content That Impact You - A Response to @vieira
The only Snyder movie that (as far as I remember now) I have seen is 300, and it was, according to my perception, quite good, it certainly did not have a historical rigor, so it was often criticized, but that was not the objective of the movie (if you want to learn from history you should take a book, not see a Hollywood movie).
Its objective was to show the first soldiers of Europe in a heroic and warlike way, and one can perfectly understand the inherent idealism of its actions, even from a non-Eurocentric vision (what is currently difficult with the political climate, and the ease that some have in modernity to be offended by everything that has to do with the West). It would be for my similar to see a film that shows the Spartans in an idealistic way, as it is one that does the same with the samurai, like The Last Samurai by Edward Zwick.
But reading the descriptions about Man of Steel and Watchmen that you mentioned, in addition to the post of @d-zero, I get more attention, which had not done the other superhero movies that, as far as I could see, has a really poor message and a lot of action, sincerand I've only liked the Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan.
Thanks for the mention, and for the elaborate response, which btw was not a "trouble". Regards!
If we really look at the historical consequences, The Persians were the more civilized ones and their victories were a gain for the progress of humanity. But what Frank Miller and Zack Snyder made was not a movie about history. It was movie about dying on feet than living on knees. The historical setting and characters was mostly just a backdrop. Even a based on a true story masterpiece like The Imitation Game (2014) is full of historical inaccuracies. But The Founder (2016) was extremely factually accurate.
The 300 pre-sequal (starts before 300 and ends after 300) perfectly copied Snyder's style and it was a different but (IMO) better movie.
It is sad too see what PC culture is doing. Luckily Japan isn't afraid of doing the offensive stuff. They just lack the budget. Hellsing Ulimate manga/anime actually had a Last Nazi battalion of 1000 Vampires attacking London and DC while The Church starts The 9th crusade against Protestants.
But it's not a story about Vampires, England, Vatican, Nazi, Religion or any such thing. It's simply a dressing they made to tell a story about the war and lust for war and just that. Hellsing is just war.
It's basically about this:
But the story is better with Nazi Vampires and Vatican army committing genocide on Protestants.
