  • Easily torrented.

    I watched it recently and the film didn’t age well in the current social climate. Good script, great cast, but the story is about a “magic pill” that will make old people young again. That in itself is not a bad thing, but the end of the movie sees all the old people making the selfish decision to leave their loved ones for their own eternal bliss. I know it was supposed to be a metaphor for death and heaven and such, but now it just looks like Me Generation, head in the sand, fuck you I got mine, Boomerism.

    Wilford Brimley’s grandson pleads for him not to go and tries to stow away on the heaven boat. And then Brimley’s like “nope, I choose to never see you again, go fishing by yourself.” If I was a grandpa, every moment with my grandson would be worth giving up an alien immortal orgy. Geez.

    I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?

    Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.
