Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Friends dragged me to Inside Out 2 and it was saccharine dogshit that mostly made me think of my awkward moments in high school sports. To its credit it was only 90 minutes long. Anyway Zizek's idea would have been much more unhinged and interesting.
Pretty sure this is just a roundabout way to insult Palestinians
Yeah "those insane Palestinian children driven to mindless violence by their emotions"
We already know he's a racist, if that movie was actually made he'd be chirping about the "savagery of the Arab mind" or some shit
I read it differently, it seems to me that Zizek is coming from a place of empathy and trying to humanize the Palestinian cause.
Most people are woefully uninformed, and they naturally ask "Why would Hamas do Oct 7th?" The answer often comes in the form of pro-Israeli propaganda: they're antisemitic, they're animals, they have been taught to hate.
The best way to break through this propaganda is by showing what the Palestinian people have suffered over the past 70 years, and especially the last 16 years. When people learn of the apartheid conditions, the brutal blockade, the Great March of Return, etc, many come to the conclusion that they too would be driven to violence if they were treated in such a horrific and unjust manner.
Anyway I might be wrong about Zizek, but I would totally pay to see this movie.
Yeah no, Zizek is no fan of Palestinians or Arabs in general, usually he coaches his racism in ambiguous and vague phraseology like he's doing here, but in the past (especially the last year) he's made clear his racial (or "cultural" as he would put it) antipathy to anyone with a skin color darker then uncooked pizza dough
He believes Palestinians are brainwashed savages with no right to resistance or even complaint that isn't coached in acknowledging western cultural supremacy, those are his views on culture and race in general, he's just spitting acid at the annoying ethnics who's "savagery" would according to him make for more entertaining television
