Captain American

22 10 2011

About 2 weeks ago i was in the mood for an American propaganda flick, this movie did not disappoint. USA policing the world fighting evil bringing freedom and liberty to savages around the globe. Inspire young Americans to fight in today’s pointless wars by glorifying WWII. But despite popular opinion formed from movies and video games, individuals are not successful in war. You will not ‘find your identity’ in war. Your best bet to stay alive and help your fellow soldiers is to toe the line, be like everyone else and do exactly as you’re told….Ok enough ranting, as stated earlier i was in the mood for this……So now, finally, the reason why i am typing. ….Disgusted that Hitler wasn’t evil enough, the movie’s villain goes rogue and splits from the Nazi. I never got into 40′s era propaganda comics but, they’re kidding right, Hitler wasn’t a big enough villain? They actually needed to create a WWII character who is worse than Hitler. Although you can’t see it, i am shaking my head.

Fuck, newsflash, its just Van Wilder stuck in a box for 2 hours. What a goddamn mystery, thrilling. . . .But seriously, i couldn’t stop watching, i had absolutely nothing better to do, how depressing is that?! Well actually i got up and left here and there to try and pass the time along, i wanted to see if he got out of the damn box so I’d check in a bit while doing laundry. I won’t completely give away the ending in case you go through this torture yourself but goddamit! hmmmm, I remember being offended by some of the American propaganda, but i can’t recall exactly what was said, i was zoning out and it was days ago. The only real cinematic difference would happen about every half hour where they would pick an angle and zoom out excruciatingly slow to show the box in a dark space. Worst part, he lives for hours in a coffin with a lighter burning and somehow never runs out of breath- in real life you’d be dead in minutes. They account for this by having him exclaim every once in a while “i can’t breath in here!”. Shit, why do i bother?
