The latest Transformers was a massive let down imo. I never thought I'd say this but I missed Shia LaBeouf as the main role. Mark Wahlberg didn't do it for me.

I dont actually know what my favorite film would be, possibly the Batman series, The newer one ofc the old ones were terrible. But the Dark knight and Dark knight rises very good movies.
Knightmare is from Albania, no?

Batman and transformers, are you fucking kidding me. There's way better films out there to talk about.

Last film i've seen was Transcendence, was pretty good and it actually had a message.

You know it's possible for people to enjoy things simply because they enjoy then Augy, they don't have to have a deep spiritual meaning or anything, let's not forget that people watch movies for fun.

Oh i do know as i watch b-movies, i enjoy the Batman films for simple entertainment but abhor the views it propagates on the viewers. Apologies for i'm gonna rant,

Just look at what Batman/Bruce Wayne represents in this kind of plot line.
He is a billionaire vigilante fighting alongside cops and politicians to protect a city (which could represent a system or institution) that is so corrupt, exclusionary, and capitalistic that there are not just petty criminals looking to get by, but there are Master criminals who have been so fucked over by this system that the only way they can be psychically satisfied in their condition is to take out their maniacal plans upon the general passive complacent populace who have allowed the system to get this fucked up through their compliance. (See Frantz Fanon) Basically, Bruce wants to maintain the system that legitimizes his excessive wealth and his need for vigilante machismoism, which spawned as a way to get the love, respect, and appreciation from the people since he wasn't able to get it from his parents in his formative years. (See Gabor Mate).
By looking at this relationship we can begin to see it's real-life implications by seeing that as long as we continue playing into the $$ paradigm, that is controlled by the people at the stock exchange, money printing places, elite businesses, millionaire politicians, etc., we will be forced into the box of criminality.

Bane represents the most masterplanned attack against the prison-industrial complex inherent in capitalist economies. This is the ultimate fear of people on the top of the $$ paradigm.
Anarchism is not that ultimate fear. Anarchism is a variety of possibilities yet to be realized that will be specific to each locale. No capitalist mega-produced movie will ever show the complexity of such a vision. At most, as it is with Batman Rises, it will be a projection of what a capitalist regime imagines as it's worst enemy. We are not the worst enemy, or, at least, I am not the worst enemy. (I'll speak for myself). I do not seek to redistribute a fabricated representation of value (money) to those less valued, so I will be no Robin Hood. I do not want to perpetuate the fucked up system that revolves around money, wage-slavery, and voting by spreading it to more people so they are then ensnared and forced to weigh their arbitrary privileges against some others' dispossessed right to be a human part of nature on this Earth. Nope, I choose not to participate in that tug of war. Instead, my anarchism is one where we refuse to participate, where we create what we need for our communities without relying on government money, where we build a new world in the shell of the old (taken from IWW), where we can, while we also spread the seeds that will grow between the cracks in the pavement. I might not meet you on the streets, but I'll see you in the garden. (See "Change the World Without Taking Power" by John Holloway and "Escaping Education" by Gustavo Esteva)

You can never please the crowd on here, films are more than just pieces of entertainment.
This is a movie thread, i'd expect people to go indepth about films. - just thought i'd give batman a go.
