The Matrix made me realise my whole reality was a lie and now I’m pro-Patriarchy, pro-Authoritarian and pro-conformity just like the characters.

All he wanted was a nice steak. What’s wrong with that?

He does make sense. What does it matter to you if you don’t realize it is all fake

I think people don’t realize you’re making fun of manosphere and alt right creators co opting the terms from the movies like red pill and others.

I think Flight Club is a better idea of the right people walking away with the wrong message.

RoboCop and Starship Troopers (by the same director, no less) are other examples of people completely missing the point, and taking the film at face value.

Robocop’s message was pretty simple, I thought. If you do crime, you’ll get your genitals shot off by a cyborg.

Alt Right tried to claim They Live as an anti-Jewish alligory.
Carpenter ended up tweeting:
It’s the example I cite whenever someone tried validating a smooth brain media interpretation by claiming “Death of the Author!”.

Starship troopers’s point was missed by the same people making the sequels to it, I was so disappointed by the sequels, and don’t understand how they could have been so oblivious.

Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.

Fight Club is such a good movie. It seems like an awful lot of people don’t understand it at all. The same with American Psycho. You definitely nailed it with the right people walking away with the wrong message.
