Some of the most ludicrously PC nominations for Golden Globes
Just like the Oscars, even the Golden Globe awards have long become irrelevant. The Federalist looks at some of the nominations for this year's farcical ceremony (most likely done online due to Covid), and one of them looks like a most particularly egregious example:
Whereas “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” romanticizes the budding nature of the film and TV industry in the ’60s, Netflix’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” trivializes rioting and looting in the ’60s by leftists. It romanticizes violence. Written and directed by vocal Trump-hater Aaron Sorkin, the movie depicts anti-Vietnam and counterculture figures who took to the streets.It could also be described as normalizing and sensationalizing violence, and that's easily one of the worst things about such a production. Desensitization to violence is one of the most serious issues that's brought about the collapse of civilized worlds, and combined with the rabid leftist viewpoint in this film, it'll make for one of the worst examples of modern moviemaking's corruption.
Sorkin’s third directorial movie is based on a group of leftist activists charged in 1969 for inciting a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Abbie Hoffman (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) was a leader in the “Flower Power” movement of the ’60s, and a drug dealer who would eventually hide from police after being charged for selling cocaine in 1974. Bobby Seale, the co-founder of the militant Black Panther Party, is characterized as a hero.
There are obvious implied messages in “The Trial of the Chicago 7” that detract from its entertainment value. Police are all “pigs” who supposedly attack the rioters first, Republicans are careless and abusive of shared freedoms, and hippies were moral citizens regardless of their frequent violent outbursts.
