Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’
SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 8 months agoI absolutely agree that politics can be subtle and unintentional but to classify a movie with the word “political” as a topic unto itself implies an intentionally present political message.

I'd argue it implies a noticeable or identifiable political framing, but I don't think intentionality is the line.
But hey, at that point we're debating what we name it. I'd argue that we want to have a name for it, and if you don't want to call it "political" I'm struggling to think what else to use. It's not simply thematic, because a theme can be different from an implicit political worldview. A movie can be about, say, coming of age, thematically, but that's different from its political framing.
