Sound Of Freedom

That is clearly implied. God this board

That is clearly implied. God this board

"Only" clearly implies "only"

That is basic English

Not sure why you are on one about it - again, not that serious..... But sometimes, "God this board"........

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Sure whatever...even though it's clear I am saying over 200 million and between 100 and the previously stated level

I left off the word between. You can take that win and I will basically assume you are a pedantic dick

Cute - a mod throwing insults because they can't type or use the language correctly

Thicken up your skin a touch

The movie board is starting to rival P and R for the sheer hilarity of the inane arguments we repeatedly suck ourselves into.

True.

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

We don't deal with outsiders very well
They say newcomers have a certain smell
You have trust issues, not to mention
They say they can smell your intentions

Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us

So now that’s the reason? Another reason.

Being in the industry, I assumed you would know that “based on true events” does not mean “everything happened just like this.”

But there’s a difference when writers take artistic license to entertain and when there’s an ulterior motive whine the manipulation of facts. Reading further on this turned me off.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Nice thing about this movie is that you can literally go see it in the theater for free. Still don’t like it and you’re out nothing but a couple hours. But maybe it will make an impact or just be well made enough that you’re entertained. As I have said and both reviewers I posted mentioned “It is a one watch film but it is worthy of that one watch.” No need to tear it down without having seen it. Didn’t we recently have a back and forth about that on here in a different thread?

No. That was about commenting on the quality without having seen it. I have no issue with someone criticizing the topic or the known storyline of a film without having seen it. But you can’t say something definitively sucks without having seen it. Imo.

Exactly! Some people can't differentiate between film QUALITY and film SUBJECT. It's comical.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well, having actually seen the film, I can say it is not at all a “hero’s journey” tale celebrating Tim Ballard. He is just one of many people and agencies battling against human traffickers. The movie tells a story because stories have power and can be shared and can make a difference. Period. That’s its overall motivation.

I think you just nailed the issue people are having. This is a topic that has been co-opted by Q nuts for political and insanity purposes to an extent. As a result there’s a general distrust when a connection is made between the film and those individuals associated with W and the affiliated politicos. When you read that some in law enforcement view the actions of the subjects in this movie as potential dangerous to the victims and creating interference with legit police actions it makes one not want to give breath to whatever potential BS may be associated with the movie because . . . stories do have power. And it can be for the bad.

Just think about how much more impactful the messaging would be if it weren’t muddled by the topics we are discussing.

I hope they do a remake soon with some actors you prefer so you'll get to see a powerful film.

Back to the actual film, huge congrats to award-winning Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gómez Monteverde for co-writing and directing another outstanding film.

Monteverde previously wrote and directed Bella, a film that took top prize at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival by winning the “People's Choice Award.” It also received honors from the Smithsonian and the White House. He also directed and co-wrote Little Boy, a film set during World War II, released in 2015.

He is married to actress Ali Landry and they have three children.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Just know who you're lining up with by supporting this film.

Hey - this is nothing new! Q freaks creating a false panic, and the same people lapping it up like water in the desert.

QAnon Cultists, Emboldened By Trump, Rally In Hollywood To Spread Dangerous Conspiracies

I don't care who they hire to do the acting as long as they don't use it as a vehicle to spread crazy, dangerous rhetoric, political ideology or conspiracy garbage.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So, if I go see the newest Jim Caviezel film, that suddenly makes me a QAnon supporter?

If I then go see Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 7 (Part One), does that then make me a supporter of Scientology?

Is that how films work?

The film is not right or left. It's a film against child trafficking. Hopefully, we're all on the same page regarding that issue regardless of what anyone tweets, right?

Who said that? To pretend there is no relationship between Jim C and Q beliefs is absurd. To ignore the relationship between the two is incredibly problematic.

If you ask ridiculous rhetorical devices to lead to an answer, does that make it legitimate?

Conflating Jim C making a Q conspiracy movie with Tom Cruise and his Mission Impossible movies that have....oh yeah, not a thing to do with Scientology.

Is that how logic works?

What a hilarious framing of the issue - calling a straight Q conspiracy "not left or right". Why don't we do a quick perusal of all the people supporting "Sound of Freedom" on social media...oh, what do you know...all the right wing influencers are pushing it, and calling those that don't like it groomers and pedophiles!

"Not right or left". Incredible.

I hope you know that Ballard, the person this story is about, is a full on QAnon supporter.

In 2020 Ballard gave an interview stating his belief that Wayfair is shipping children across country in furniture boxes. He chose another QAnon man to portray him, and a religious production company then released the film. There is a reason why the film is controversial.

Selling this as neutral content is wild.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

It sure is fun talking to people who have not seen the film. Hearing everything the movie was not about is refreshing. LOL

Rule 3: NO ATTACKING A PERSON: Debate the idea and not attack the person.

Chris, for the good of the board please try and lessen the insults. There are ways to get your point across without the incessant pot shots.

A moderator and enforcer of the board rules should know better.

The film wrapped production years before then. It's an anti-child-trafficking film. Period. It doesn't invite you to be buddies with anyone the film stars or is based on. It's a film. You see it, it impacts you, you discuss it, you move on and see other films. The blowback on this is insane. Don't want to see it? Don't see it. Congrats. Pat yourself on the back and say "Man, I dodged a bullet by not seeing that movie with actor X in it."

WELL, that is the argument about kids being exposed to gay people. If you see one, it will make you one!
