    I’m not read up well on some of the people you mentioned, but I do know that:

    Morgan Freeman is also probably a sex pest. 300 was a fascist ass movie anyway, and I’m sure Gerard Butler himself shares some of those views. Liam Neeson once said in an interview that he got drunk and angry and went roaming the streets for a black person to shoot, but thankfully didn’t find anyone. Steven Spielberg is a Zionist piece of shit who took away from less Zionist minded Jewish stories like Maus in order to propagate his own nonsense. The shining light ending of Schindler’s List is Jews taking over Palestine. Here’s a really good piece by EliValley and an article on it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbIymT1OjQC/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/listless

      Wait, 300 is a fascist movie?

      How can a historical ‘‘based on true story’’ movie which takes place BC be fascist? Is Sparta bad or? It was one of my favorite historical movies along with Gladiator, I watched it last time in summer 2019, so I need to refresh my memory a little bit, can you explain me? And yeah, Butler sucks ass in ‘‘has fallen’’ movies and every other ultra western propaganda movie.

        I thought 300 was cool as hell when I watched it, too. There’s just a lot of apocryphal subtext within the movie that lends itself very well to fascist imagery and ideology, like the portrayal of Spartans tossing inbred and deformed infants to the rocks and it being treated as more like an interesting and metal quirk than something horrific. A lot of it is pretty ahistorical, too.

        I don’t know if you’re interested in longer form video content, but Big Joel (a supposed lefttuber or breadtuber or whatever, his media criticism is really good imo) has a vid on it where he explains that he really enjoys the movie but has some issues with it – also engaging with fans of the movie who got pissed at him online. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hEMqTPUWXqw

        edit: I’m not sure you’d agree with all of his points and that’s perfectly ok. There’s probably a coherent argument to be made regarding the movie in favor of it, it’s just that the majority of the people making those arguments online are loud obnoxious manbabies.
