Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
I liked Ex Machina and Annihilation but damn this man is dumb lmao.
I tried to rewatch Dredd a couple years ago and I turned it off because it was so explicitly fascist. It just felt like a conservative nightmare fantasy where crime is so bad that of course we should let cops kill whoever they want. You're supposed to 100% buy this logic and root for Judge Dredd and the other white woman cop who spends most of the movie holding a black man captive. Like you said there was no satire, they pulled a reverse-Starship Troopers.
yeah but it's awesome
The black guy the movie assures us it's OK to hate by heavily implying he's a rapist, and also too dumb to realize that the beeping Judges gun in his hand is about to explode, despite being a high ranking lieutenant in the Mama's gang and presumably having experience with this kind of Judge fuckery. He was probably the one character other than her who should definitely have known not to do that, but instead he just stands there staring at the gun for several seconds while it beeps and eventually explodes and takes his arm off, which is played for laughs.
And the climax of the plot is when they do the main antagonist Pinochet-style
I was annoyed by that movie for that exact reason, like dude it's not supposed to be 300 but with one guy.
Also lol @ the scene on the stairs, where he throws some gas bombs that creates very obvious green clouds that his opponents (the unarmored small time drug dealers who are trying to pay rent and live in the building with their families) obligingly walk into for no reason and start choking on, at which point he casually strolls up and shoots them all point blank in the head. The soundtrack assures me I should be hooting and thumping my chest as this happens.
That would be a cool movie. A horror film where dredd is the alien/predator equivalent. With lots of gratuitous gun violence of course.
