that's a good point. TDK was an interesting conversation about the Patriot act surveillance state, but I never really felt like it said a whole lot.Jetty_Jags wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 8:32 amIdk if I agree with that, surely the blockbuster scene actively reflected on 9-11. Say what you will about Chris Nolan, the dark knight, and it’s politics, the film is actively a investigation of a post 9-11 environment, it’s not even particularly subtle about it.Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 5:05 am Dgmw, we've got lots of movies "about" 9/11, mostly thru imagery, but nothing thru that genre lens that really explores anything about 9/11. Because here, genre is genre and "real" movies are "real" movies, with few exceptions.
"What if the Patriot act, BUT the people in charge JUST used it for good this one single time?"
I feel like there's been exploration of 9/11 repercussions but I don't find a lot of it particularly sharp or effective. Just my opinion though, and I could definitely be forgetting something obvious.
