Comment of the Week: Seeing the world through a comic book prism
Veteran Watcher Jimmy C once again said in two small paragraphs what I needed an entire web post to illustrate.
Here’s his take on “Machete” director Robert Rodriguez denying his new film has a strong political message to share.
Filmmakers like Rodriguez and his splatter cohorts (Tarantino and Eli Roth) are like overgrown teenagers who still see the real world in terms of the comic book worlds they create in their films.
It doesn’t occur to Rodriguez that his film could be seen as preachy or insulting to those he disagrees with, because he doesn’t take the politics of American immigration any more seriously than, say, Tarantino took the politics of Nazi-occupied France in “Inglourious Basterds.”
