Defend this crap. I dare you.

Thoughts on the chart? I expected it would be easy to make, but apparently most directors' politics are either unknown, or difficult to generalize, or some garden variety leftism.
Aiden Reyes
can someone name all of these directors? I want to watch da movies
Levi King
it has a nice poster
Robert Nelson
Do you prefer your dialogue dubbed or recorded live?
Does it bother you in older movies if the audio is very obviously dubbed?
Jason Baker
Surprised Vincent Gallo isn't in the top right quadrant.

>when he explicitly critiqued capitalism as a literal nonhuman force that was controlling and eradicating humanity
Xavier Torres
Not a very spirited defence.
Cooper Thompson
It clicks the fifth time you watch it
Henry Robinson
This. I also don't see how Kurosawa is a feudalist when the main takeaway from Seven Samurai is that farmers are pricks.
Jose Harris
The meme is that lolbertarians claim it as their own

thanks broski, I knew some guys like John Ford and Agnes Varda but the other dudes were completely lost on me. I will be watching some movies tonight bro.
Adam Jackson
Explain what clicks so i don't have to endure it again.
Charles Butler
You should watch it at least six more times since Bresson films don't click immediately. It takes time for his genius to reach a pleb
Parker Hughes
How would they rank on here?
I didn't like this one and I typically enjoy Bresson's deeper cuts

Yeah I wish Carpenter was a little smarter in this regard but even basic anti-consumerist message can be vague enough to mean any kind of control and lack of liberty.
He was from a family of samurai traditions and felt quite guilty about the way samurai treated lower classes so his work is not anti-peasant.
Nathaniel Bennett
Kurosawa didn't like feudalism but people often accuse him of being an elitist samurai supremacist.
Joshua Russell
Kazan's best
Caleb Howard
Yeah he would be a better pick for alt-right troll than Von Trier
Alexander Clark

You know that the word villain come from feudal Franca, home of feudal revolution, where it meant farmer?
Asher Gonzalez
What's there to defend? It's a good flick

What's good about it? It was very bad.
Juan Richardson
Honda was a little bit angry and it was quite uncharacteristic of him because he had a really gentle nature and loved life but it's maybe because Kurosawa was his best lifelong friend and the last five Kurosawa movies were co-directed with Honda so no bad blood there at all. Honda was a fantastic filmmaker in his own right with at least one masterpiece and many sci fi classics. I need to watch Eagle of the Pacific one of his days his biggest non-sci fi movie. And yes he was a bit sad that he wasn't allowed to make something else.

Holy shit why are Jews so overrepresented in film. It can't all be nepotism. Are they really God's chosen people?
Adam Cox
Seconding that other user's thanks bro.
Grayson Brown
Film is inherently a jew media
John Hernandez
You forgot Dziga Vertov
Austin Johnson
I think it was more a joke about Kurosawa making a lot of samurai films than actually suggesting he was a feudalist.
Juan Jones
The business aspect of it maybe, otherwise not really
Charles Sanders
>all the filmmakers on left libertarian are terrible
Gee color me surprised
Justin Brown
Damn, you're right. Eisenstein was also a Jew unsurprisingly.
James Sullivan
Wow so pretty much every one on the libertarian right side is a leftie, often a radical and one wasn't even a director but a 19th century astronomer. I don't know about Kachyňa.
Elijah Thomas

Ryder Walker
Mel Gibson would be in the yellow.
Juan Gray
How many right-wing directors exist?
I know of Tarkovsky, Rohmer and Bresson. The ones under Nazi/Fascist regimes (Riefenstahl, etc.). Gallo I guess. Mishima, though he made only one film.
Is that really all of them?
Christopher Murphy
Clint Eastwood too
Caleb Walker
Sokurov probably. Russian Ark was panned by reviewers for praising monarchism or Putin or something.
Elijah Gomez

Logan Watson
Jodorowsky was chosen as Sovereign Citizen because he hates America, acts like a retard and looks like a hobo.
Noah Lopez
How can anyone prefer it dubbed? It looks so stupid. And they don't even put in the effort to make it look natural. It looks like it was translated from another language. That's the biggest problem i have with fellini's movies. I still love his work tho, but the dubbed shit always looks so unprofessional and it takes me out of the movie sometimes.
