Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies (view source)
Revision as of 17:29, November 6, 2018

I was thinking of adding the movie Songs of the South by Disney (which unfortunately thanks to race-baiters can't be watched other than via bootleg, which is a shame, as Uncle Remus actually seemed like a very good role model for his race), which effectively acted as an adaptation of the Uncle Remus stories. Problem is, I'm not entirely sure where to place it due to the split between live-action and animated films. After all, Songs of the South technically has elements of both, so I can't exactly place it in one category only. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 10:12, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

A suggestion:
- '''The Aviator''' (2004) - yes, it is directed by Martin Scorsese, whose films are often quite violent and include a lot of profanity, but this film is almost entirely free of both and seems to advance a conservative agenda. It is a biopic that lauds the life of Howard Hughes (a Republican and supporter of Richard Nixon), portraying him as exemplifying American values of commerce, vision and entrepreneurialism. Hughes is a tragic figure who struggles with mental illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder and politically-motivated and fabricated allegations of war profiteering (which were levied against him by the corrupt senator Owen Brewster, who was formerly associated with the Ku Klux Klan). Despite never overcoming his mental illness, Hughes does manage to expose Brewster's corruption and double-dealing - a victory for an individualist, capitalist entrepreneur against bureaucratic government authority and cronyism. The film also portrays left-wing actress Katherine Hepburn in a negative light, ironically juxtaposing her belief in socialism with the luxurious life she enjoys in the New York 'jet set' (a 'champagne socialist'), and depicting how she treats Hughes coldly and abandons him when his obsessive-compulsive disorder worsens. - [[User:LibertyMatters]] 17:29, 06 November 2018 (GMT)
