Interesting take. New Right Poast featured an article written by somebody else (forgot his handle, apologies) that saw the film as a based Coming of Age and Male Initiation story. According to the poster, it was about Spike coming of age and becoming a Man despite the paternal failure of his Father
So, I too am tired of the typical Hollywood propaganda. But I loved this film.
It was a simple coming of age story. It was refreshing to see men portrayed as protectors and fighters, not as inherently toxic. Boyle evaded the typical Hollywood quackery that assumes women are physically equal to men. In this movie, the boys are the ones who leave the safety of the community to learn to hunt and fight off zombies.
It also made me cry (a young son’s love and devotion to his sick mom was touching). Yes, there are spinal cords and naked zombies and negative portrayals of a priest. But under all that was a film that left me thinking about it long after the lights went up.

Stop telling people to patron this rot. Tell them to sail the high seas if they must
Get off Substack and go sail the high seas

Thank you for saving me $20! I've had quite enough of the Boomer Mind Virus and the self righteous blather of Hollyweird degenerates.
Won’t go! Just the next most obvious film! More fetid film minds! Meh!
Danny Boyle?
I’ll give it a miss thanks
Your description of the beginning tells me all I need to know. I'll give it a miss.
Took your advice. Went to see it.
It was incoherent, loud, and dumb, yet pretentious.
We honestly wish we'd gone to see F1. Which we understand was also dumb, but at least wasn't pretending to be anything else.
I loved the first two movies. Politics aside, I’m looking forward to seeing this one.
"Boomer Mind Virus", what is that?
American psycobabble.
