Yeah far right nutjobs would freak out at the anti-america sentiment in the movie

Actually, they probably think "america fuck yeah" is the most badass song ever since conservatives don't understand art

That was the point I thought.

Everything in that movie is how Americans see the rest of the world (aka in stereotypes).

I remember one of the highest viewed Youtube videos of the "Freedom isn't Free" song back in the day was a montage of US soldier pics in "support of the troops". The uploader apparently thought the song was 100% serious, and anytime the commenters tried to say the song was satire, the uploader would get defensive.

Apparently you weren't paying attention. America saves Paris in the beginning but the damage they cause far outweighs whatever the terrorists were going to do. Essentially the bomb could have gone off and less people would have been affected/harmed, sort of like how we "help" other countries and the before and after puts whatever country we aided back 50 years, at least.

True, but still irrelevant to the Right Wing.

Team America still saves the day and beats the fuck out of Hollywoods Lefties at the end. Speaking of which, if that movie were made today, Parker and Stone would have been like a kid in a candy store, regarding the recent #Metoo movement. They probably would have had puppets of famous actresses like Jennifer Lawrence servicing Harvey Weinstein. Throw in scenes of the BLM-related riots and I dont think those far right nutjobs would protest the movie as much as their counterparts on the left.

Yeah, but the movie also also says it is necessary, regardless of the fumbling. Remember the speech about needing dicks to fuck assholes, or they will shit on everything? Remember how Hollywood is painted as naive enablers of the bad guys?

That speech is promoting moderation and centrism. It says Team America and Hollywood protesters both take their side too far.

Of course I remember the speech it's too good to forget. I feel bad for people who are so sheltered today that they couldn't fathom a satirical film like this being made today. We all have opinions yet some feel the need to express theirs so much that they prevent others from being able to express themselves.

I dont, because its usually dumb af people. You wouldnt mock a French accent when making fun of a German person.

So why do dumb people think its smart to mock a Japanese accent when making fun of Chinese or Viet people?

It's literally called Team America: World Police (because of America's insistence on interfering with and policing other countries, which they have no business doing).

It's not really an anti american movie it's a critique on american foreign policy which is unambiguously bad using low brow racist humor as the delivery and then contrasting it by saying no military intervention at all is just as bad.

So while the movie is pushing "centrism" it's laser focused on foreign policy and not politics in general.

It's definitely not anti-America, but it does comment on excessive foreign intervention.

I'm probably older than you, but I knew when it came out. I just wasn't interested in it at all. It looked dumb to me. I just happened to see this video randomly.
