Army of Darkness: The Political Commentary




I watched this hilarious movie a couple weeks ago.





And I thought...


I could see...


Amongst the weird creatures...

An odder creature still: a political commentary.

That's right. Bruce Campbell gives a history of American policy!

Colonization: Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick!

The American Revolution: Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and shit... and Jack just left town.

How the West was won: Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.

On Dictatorial regimes, 1940s: It's a trick. Get an axe.

Soviet-American relations 1950s-1990: "You found me beautiful once..." Honey, you got reeeal ugly!

The Energy Crisis: Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas

On NAFTA (& trade relations past GATT//WTO): Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all.


So you see? Watch this movie, and improve your perspective on the world.

Army of Darkness: Come get some.
