Review of The Old Guard (2020) by Thomasphanes — 19 Jul 2020
If you haven’t seen “The Old Guard” on Netflix, you simply must. The amount of anti-capitalist, diversity and inclusion heroism is breathtaking. So it starts off as a standard issue shoot em up “John Wick” type action movie.
An hour later you’re entangled in the love story of interracial, warrior lesbians. You’re witness to a totally plot irrelevant, interracial, homosexual man on man kiss, preluded by a love poem. You witness the brave actions of an entirely minority, female, Marine combat platoon in action.
Those things are all over Afghanistan these days, from what I hear . And finally, it’s topped off with the incredibly gory, graphic, and extremely satisfying death of the irredeemably evil, white, cisgender male capitalist who runs a pharmaceutical company.
.. for profit! So good. A must see. Not a Marxist propaganda film at all.
