Wow. I can’t believe you got it almost completely wrong.

The journalist who took the photo defended the Southern Vietnamese commander for years. The guy getting shot was a guy who’d repeatedly murdered the families of South Vietnamese officers and then got sprung from prisons when the South Vietnamese tried to hold a trial.
When the guy moved to the US and Eric Adams, the photographer, defended him and added context that the shooter just saw a wife and family get slaughtered.

The Wikipedia article omits a lot of detail. Adam’s literally defended the shooter before the Senate.
What exactly did I get wrong? The original photograph had a very specific intention when it was taken and published and the results of it were obvious. The photographer only does the minimum to appear as a good guy, and I remember he never returned the prizes he got for the photo. It's like arguing that a guy that intentionally shot another person and got him paralyzed is blameless because he helped in the recovery process.

His Jewish editor refused to.
 
no idea if anyone has mentioned this yet but in typical A24 genre-subverting slowburn (insert the rest of the copypasta here) fashion, the movie and trailer only present themselves as being something political when the director has stated there is a "sci-fi twist" to the plot.

So, either this will be some alien experiment or alt.reality, but Im betting on the latter
 
Gotta disagree with that. It's a cautionary tale about simping. She only got out because the obvious virgin programmer got fooled by her good girl act and assumed dude bro Oscar Issac was bad.
I dont remember the movie that well so maybe youre right idk.
this nibba doesnt like annihilation
laugh at this clown
why are you censoring yourself, just say nigger retard.

Why is it always "that adult Christian only did a bad thing because that Jew made him do it?'". At the end the USA's journalist presence in Vietnam was an enemy to the army, with uneven coverage and simping for the enemy. And in the conflicts to come, the army straight up locked the journos and only allowed them go come out when they were sure it would be good PR, and I think it was in Desert Storm, the CNN that as a response straight up aired Iraqi propaganda.
 
Dredd is really good.
really easy to make a good movie when you just steal the entire plot and story from an international one. The Raid is straight up the exact same film. If these were songs it would be as much of a theft as ice ice baby and under pressure.
has stated there is a "sci-fi twist" to the plot.
there isn't. you're the type of dipshit that fell for Star Trek Into Darkness going "its not Khan, promise!" The protags are journalists and the villian is a white male you can make your own conclusions from there.

Because we know Christians are as gullible and stupid as Chris-chan himself and especially boomers could be manipulated like that hard. any intelligent person would have just tossed the picture once they developed it.

The Raid is great, but I'm not too sure if Garland did steal elements from that movie when doing Dredd. With Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice did intentionally admit that he stole Queen's Under Pressure, even if he used a different twist to it

My understanding is those movies had the same idea and were made at the same time coincidentally. It happens, it was the same case with DS9 and B5 despite what bitching fanboys might say.

Rips off The Man in The High Castle novel ending but with added It Could Happen Here style preaching.

George Lucas had always admitted that his works Star Wars and Indiana Jones were borrowed from other properties, specifically public domain stories and old school film serials.
 
It's sad that this was written by the guy who wrote and directed Dredd and Ex Machima, and fast-forward to now and his political sperging is going to be his "magnum opus."
Guess you didn't see that Natalie Portman girl power movie where she spends most of the time fantasizing about cucking her missing husband with a black guy.

I remember CHUD (the gayest forum on the internet, now under lock and key and an assumed identity) bitching about The Raid stealing the idea from the Dredd script which was online for a couple years before they started making the movie.

This sounds like some fig-leaf cover for them to play coy about politics.

Either the sci-fi twist is something that fundamentally flips the script out of a Civil War plot into something else (like say "government taken over by Aliens" or "Skynet like AI take over of the government leads to rebellion") and means the movie is actually a techno thriller not a Civil War one, or the sci-fi element is some sort of new future tech from the fact it is set in the future and it doesn't actually have anything to do with the political nature of the movie and is a moot point (in the way that making a movie about a communist revolution in 2350 in a martian colony with Mars-Lenin using a laser rifle isn't changing the basics of the fact it is a commie revolution).
 
I dont think the sci-fi “twist” is gonna be anything significant, but lets assume it isnt just marketing to get manchildren interested in the movie.

I think president ron swanson is gonna turn out to be AI deepfake run by a neo-nazi cabal or some sort of a greedy corporation.
