The Rollerball reboot was like this super interesting forbidden fruit for me because I was too young to watch it when I was a kid but my older brother had the DVD. So I would like sneak looks at it through his door when he watched it. That combined with it being the most violent thing I had seen up until that point, it became this weird super memorable thing of my childhood lol
Edit - because of that I didn’t even know it was a reboot until now lmao that’s interesting. I always thought it was just a strange, really bad 2000s movie among thousands
I too once thought visually and factually demonstrating irreconcilable contradictions in the ideology of liberalism like this might be the way to convince people in masses
That’s an interesting example of how hollow liberal great man theory is. That he had swagger and personality, and was outwardly cool, which you really can’t deny, and that such an effect can break through the self imposed liberal shell in some slight way, to then hold incompatible beliefs
That seems way more convenient than a million apps all clawing my data in different ways with their own unique UX designed to make my life more frustrating
