No doubt the US Gov treated the Indian population horrendously, but the Indian tribes were no saints to other tribes prior to Europeans finding the New World either. Ice Cream? More like Ice Scream...about injustice...that happened hundreds of years ago! 1 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 LOL. The Left really really doesn’t want this movie about a true story fighting sex trafficking to succeed. Wonder why, seems like a story everyone could get behind. 1 1 Link to comment

It's even answered, in part, in the video you posted. 1 2 1 Link to comment

Not sure why they would have that non sensible theory 1 Link to comment

Dude...it is about kids being trafficked. Unless there are aliens and monsters in this movie, it is true. Who cares how accurate THIS movie is to the actual events as long as it leads to more and more awareness. 1 2 Link to comment

I’ve said “based on a true story” in the post you literally replied to. “True Story” and “based on a true story” are not exactly the same. There is no point I’m glossing over. Many left wing media and people seem to have an issue with a story about a person fighting child trafficking. That’s weird 1 Link to comment

Again, it begs to question as to why? Are we to point in society with political correctness that we can’t make a movie about someone fighting child traffickers because it might make child traffickers feel bad?? 1 Link to comment

I have not seen anyone have a problem with the movie. What I have seen, like the clip above, are people having issues with people who are promoting the movie to the Qanon crowd and then promoting the conspiracy theory that elite liberals are running a world wide child sex trafficking ring. There's a big difference there. 1 1 Link to comment

Your pearl-clutching over this is the same as when people try to 'gotcha' politicians for voting for or against a nice soundbyte narrative such as "feeding poor kids", ignoring that there were a dozen other things in the bill not related to feeding poor kids. If one is absolutely committed to encapsulating a massive art project as being only about one thing and not including plenty of other things packaged in it, then sure, it would be confusing why some people don't like that thing. But I don't think you're that stupid. You've definitely got the critical thinking necessary to understand that the qualms other alleged people have with this film aren't actually related to child sex trafficking. If you try, I know you can get it. But if you're still really struggling, let me help you maybe start putting the dots together just a little bit more. You asking, "why would anybody possibly have a problem with this movie?" could be analogized to a Trojan saying, "why would anybody possibly have a problem with this beautiful wooden horse the Greeks gave us as a gift?" 1 2 Link to comment

It would be great if the movie brings awareness to what's actually happening as opposed to bringing awareness of Qanon conspiracies of what's happening. Like the Pizzagate story did NOT bring the kind of awareness you should want. Link to comment

I have no idea what pizza gate is but if one kid is saved or not kidnapped because of the awareness, this movie raised it is worth it. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad which is pretty much the case with everything that pops up. 1 Link to comment
