The movie wasn’t made by qanon. The connection made was by an actor. On purpose. For marketing. And here you are falling for it.

I have lost count of the number of people I saw in social media who lauded the movie as completely real and eye opening, and ridiculed anyone who said otherwise.

The marketing was for Ballard to boost his brand to continue his grift.
I don’t think that he thought that people would actually start paying attention to how bad he is at what he does.
I had never heard of them till the libs started bugling about them and making wild accusations.

Again. That doesn’t matter. The movie is part of the narrative. The political narrative.
No the movie is just a movie. It is not part of a narrative. It didn’t make 100m as being part of the narrative.
Those associated with it found free publicity by politicizing it. Full stop.

I’m calling out the hypocrisy of marketing a movie suggesting your political opponent is sexually abusing children while the marketer seems to be doing just that.

The movie is a movie. But it is being used t promote political ideas like, democrats promote sex traffic and eat babies.
The link between this movie and those crazy threes are real. No matter how desperate you are to claim this is just a movie, the threads hear, linked above, and the RW media articles linked above show this movie has become a political touch point, a way to claim democrats are evil.
And it turns out the producer of this film may be a boob grabbing pervert.
Not sure why you don’t see that as relevant given the fact that supporters of this movie view it’s content as proof that libs are vile.

The two bolded sentences completely contradict each other. That doesn’t make any sense.
It made $100m precisely because it is part of a very specific narrative. They could have used hand puppets for the actors.
Uh oh, you said “full stop”. I guess we’re done.

I understand how it may come off contradictory but it’s not.
The act of polticizing was done for the purpose of marketing not for the purpose of pushing a narrative.
I disagree that 100m was made based on the very specific narrative
Rotten tomatoes 
reviewed it as fresh and although review collectors can suck they remain as a decent indicator of whether the movie is good or not
Lol sorry. You are right. 
that was rude.

A big part of its success is an appeal from its star, Jim Caviezel, who comes on screen at the end urging viewers to buy more tickets so other people can see it and help end child trafficking. It’s a model distributor Angel Studios calls “pay it forward.”
Caviezel, who previously played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, is also drawing attention to the film in other ways. For years, he’s been a prominent promoter of the false, violent QAnon conspiracy theory — specifically, the baseless claim that an international cabal of elites is abusing and killing children to extract a substance called adrenochrome.
These wild claims have become deeply enmeshed with narratives about child trafficking in recent years, from the QAnon predecessor Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which falsely alleged a pizza parlor in Washington, D.C., was home to a child sex ring, to false claims that online retailer Wayfair was selling children in the guise of furniture.
In press appearances promoting Sound of Freedom, Caviezel continues to spout QAnon falsehoods. On a recent episode of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s podcast, Caviezel claimed “the whole adrenochrome empire” is driving demand for trafficked children. “It’s an elite drug that they’ve used for many years,” he asserted, falsely claiming it is “10 times more potent than heroin” and “has some mystical qualities as far as making you look younger.”
I think you guys are misreading the purposefully created controversy like the right misread the movie the Hunt.

What’s the difference between this movie and 8mm.

Meh. I think dual purposes aligned here.
It made sense….from a marketing standpoint….to push the narrative. So that’s what they did. So I think we’re talking about the same thing.
Rotten tomatoes is fine, I’ve heard it’s basically like watching the Rock but with a bunch of kids in Alcatraz and without any cool names like Stanley Goodspeed or Frank Hummel.

That’s not a bad way of looking at it at all.

Sorry 8mm is a 90s movie with Nick cage where he spends the first 90 minutes of the movie trying to find a snuff film of a teenage girl and simultaneously we are led to believe that he is also trying to save her from being trafficked basically.
Then for the last 30 minutes he murders like a dozen people avenging her death.
What’s the difference?
