Fox news stating that the Muppets are communists, firstly Kermit and the gang are trying to buy the studio back not a communist thing to do, and after the revolution in Cuba they bought the means of production? No, of course they didn’t. If anything this is a film about a small business owner trying to support his business without getting a loan, I think this is what the people at Fox are really angry about the Muppets attempt to get around the banking system and anybody who doesn’t want to get a loan is a communist. Very cunning; but I am on to you. This got me thinking about films which promote a right wing conservative world view.
Snow White is a Disney classic and as we all know or can easily Google, Walt Disney was a massive anti-Semite and has a frozen head but in this classic we see a diffenet side of him in favour of the nuclear family. Snow White is living with seven men in a life of sin until she is poisoned and only the kiss and subsequent marriage saves her life. The message is two fold living in any other family type than the nuclear one leads to a living death (Snow Whites coma) and only once you have embraced a single loving partner of the opposite sex you are safe, furthermore the gentlemen being a prince it thrusts the idea we have to accept the job creators view of the world if we are to live.
Iron Man and Batman our only none mutant/alien superheroes have very simply messages that promote the conservative agenda; if you're human only rich people can save the world.
Angela’s Ashes gives us the idea abortion is wrong.
Bill and Ted’s Bogus Adventure emphatically promotes the Christian view of the afterlife.
Schindler's list states the Nazis weren’t all bad.
The Nightmare Before Christmas outsourcing to other countries or as they are skilfully labelled “seasons” leads to the ruination of our consumer society and the products they create are disgusting and dangerous.
I just wanted to point out that you can infer things to an extraordinary degree, take Superman; you could say he is an illegal immigrant who provides false documents while lying to everyone he knows. But that would be idiotic Superman is the tale of hero who tries to do the best he can with his powers. We all look at the world with our own bias but you should not confuse that interpretation with fact; Fox you did a bad thing.
