It reinforces the far-right narrative.
But then teaching kids about "stranger, danger" ignored the truth that they were more likely to be abused by someone of authority they knew (teacher, clergy, police, parents' friend) than a stranger.
Their narrative is that Hilary and the Democrats are kidnapping children to drink their blood and sacrifice them to Satan. A number of these sweeping arrests do get some of the perverts arrested and some children rescued, but a number of the children found were actually runaways that were either fleeing abusive homes or were kicked out by their parents due to the child's sexual orientation and had to resort to sex work to survive.In what way is rescuing children from traffickers "far-right"?
That may be the far-right narrative. But it's not the MOVIE's narrative.
Yes, I'm aware that Jim Caviezel is a QAnon guy. And I don't give a frog's fat ass. Yes, the film embellishes some parts of the real story. But all movies based on true events do that, to a certain extent.

And that is the main thing I hear when people speak about this film that's what they don't like about it.
Exactly.
And it drives me nuts that instead of talking about the problem of human trafficking, grooming behaviors and online safety, instead it's a political drive by. Ugh.
Go watch the film, do your own research and make up your own mind about shit, not fearing some "far right/left" whatever the fuck.
Don’t feel bad about it. I love Ayn Rand novels. But they butchered Atlas Shrugged 3 with political nonsense. The first two are solid watches though.
And for the record, even though Caviezel is into the QAnon shit, I still love the movie Frequency AND the Prisoner remake. Deal with it.
People still watch Roman Polanski movies despite his past.
But at least Kevin Smith will stand up to Weinstein who owns the rights to Dogma.
If the politics of an actor bothered me then I'd probably not watch anything.
And people are still allowed to listen to albums by Bill Cosby, Michael Jackson, etc.
Definitely had one of my more interesting bike rides this morning, first I got stuck in absolutely insane traffic because I made the mistake of going past one of the high schools and it was the first day of school about 15 minues before it started. Then when I was leaving the park I almost got run over by an SUV while leaving the park parking lot. As I was starting to go past the SUV suddenly backed out his parking spot really fast, and I panicked and hit the brakes so hard I fell over. Then he kept coming straight at my head as I was fighting to get out from under my bike and back on my feet, the only reason he actually stopped before he ran me over is because another car pulled up behind me and hit their horn. He actually did try to apologize, but at that point I was really, really pissed and I will admit I was kinda rude to him. I feel kind of bad now that I wasn't nicer to him.
Fat Albert will still be one of my favourite cartoons despite Cosby
This popped up on my socials in a photography group and I got a chuckle out of it
