Yes, a gold mine! One of the oddest things with prestige tv here is telenovelas, at least thr biggest ones, starting to get similiar structures and plot beats, while still being treated as telenovelas. So while you get more professional lighting, elaborate camera shots, more morally gray characters and the such, you still have to get nearly plot breaking c-plots about grandmas discussing life matters, tech-savvyness stuck somewhere mid 1980's and magazines spoiling months ahead story beats and actors straight up talking their entire character arc on the news program.

Doctor Jeep posted:Does it keep you up at night, I asked, the thought that you might be engaging in a kinder, gentler form of exploitation? I wonder if it has ever crossed Jeffrey Wright's mind the parallels between his job acting as one of the primary architects of a business that forces sentient beings to toil endlessly in an inhuman system to please the whims of rich people and his other job which is literally the exact same thing. sitchensis has issued a correction as of 20:53 on Oct 31, 2019 |

get that OUT of my face posted:what shocks me is Hannibal talked about being a Chicago landlord on a podcast episode over two years ago and nobody bothered to dig up the relevant information until he wanted people to donate to an Illinois landlord lobbying group I choose to ignore Hannibal Buress's crimes until the revolution comes. Planters didn't have to repress jack poo poo. That was the whole point of being the master.

Serf posted:i think the issue is with the word "love" as some reviews are basically saying that he is in love with tubman and this confuses him Planters loved their slaves all the time, but it was a very sick and perverted kind of paternalistic love that could only happen between people when one person holds absolute power over the other. That's what I mean about them never having to repress themselves. They were completely open & honest about it. Disgustingly so. They loved nothing more than writing at length about their experiences & insights into living, because they thought it elevated themselves in the tradition of occidental civilzation. And the funny thing is, they weren't even wrong. I guess what I'm saying is: if you want to understand the slaveocracy then you have to start with freedmen narratives and work your way back from there to what the planters wrote about themselves. But the people who made the Tubman movie didn't do any of that, or else they'd recognize they were staging a farce.

Jacobin's 2016 "The CIA is Not Your Friend" piece did try to unpack the squishy liberal CIA aesthetic, and it's something that's been on my mind a lot for a while when I consider Hollywood's handling of espionage in the past decade. Amazon's Jack Ryan is Peak Liberal CIA from what I gathered from osmosis. As far as I know, there's no TV tropes article (lol people still use that site?) about it.

im having trouble deciding if this is because they assumed venezuela would have been couped by now when they made the script or if they assumed venezuela wouldnt have been couped by now and that they thought this would be a logical real world analogy since the terms left wing and right wing mean roughly the same thing to horseshoe theory liberals
