It’s barely afternoon on Saturday as I read this - I don’t get how they can decide it bombed already. Feels like someone’s trying to make it bomb.
The movie is critical of capitalism, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Honestly had little interest in this but you just sold me on it
Maybe a little bit, but everything after the beginning of the movie seemed to take place in more of a monarchy situation where roles and resources are allocated directly by the ship/colony leadership and the only apparent economy was the black markets for drugs and extra rations.
The book is pretty clear on themes, and fascism is only distinguished from a truly absolute monarchy in the respects you mention by their laws of succession.
Fascism, btw, per Mussolini and Gentile, is the merger of state and corporation. At at least a small scale it will absolutely try to function without a market and pay its workers directly with necessities while using the withholding of such as both punishment and means of persecution.
They said capitalism, not fascism, I can see how the movie is being critical of fascism, but the primary setting seems distinctly un-capitalist to me.
havent watched this one yet, but arent these usually sprinkled with some anticommunism to compensate for it?
Ticket sales pre-orders.
If Friday’s pre-sales = x% final sales, and you know pre-sales for Sat/Sun, you can roughly predict the weekend.
