haha I kept wondering about that! Like seriously? Where would they draw the line on how much romance/authenticity is enough??

@@jane-mulcahy LITERALLY NONE. I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT DONT EVEN LIKE THEIR SPOUSES. Also you have to be E-5 rank to be able to move out of the barracks and get your own place, orrrr get married. Therefore a bunch of young members will marry a short term girlfriend so they can move out AND ADMIT TO IT. People make fun of them and move on. They would only say something if they weren’t living together but they were!!

@@KariTalks Wait. What? I know a lot of people who were able to move out of barracks and get married before hitting E-5. Including two of my siblings…?

@@typicaldemoness6x111 well yeah there’s always special circumstances, I just generalized it to either E-5 or marriage for those that don’t know. What branch?

then maybe see a therapist, because its JUST A MOVIE GURL

That line sounded pretty rapey.

@@noneofyourbusiness4616 because it is rapey. the guy just told on himself.

That was the point.. they were all supposed to be painted in that bad light lol

@@sarahkey9578 I get that was the intention, but in execution, Cassie got way more shit than Luke. They make a show of Cassie learning to like the military but Luke doesn’t learn anything. The last thing we see is him making a comment when Cassie says cops aren’t quick to come to their neighborhood. No follow up. He never even says anything to his fellow marines about their comments. It’s one thing to paint characters in bad lights to make a point, but when only one character “sees the error of their ways”, the narrative is siding with the other characters

@@KariTalks cassie is never framed as in the wrong Luke is yeah he never says it but neither does she. she realizes not all soldiers are bad and he realizes she isn’t a pompous bitch. the clash but he never actually was as bad as the other dudes with the rapey comments.

Ikr like, it's soo inconsistent. You can't make a movie based on an older ttimeline and make current references, it's weird.

yeah I can't help but feel like they made sure to make the most racist guy non-white to try and make him seem less refutable? which is... a choice?

Choices were made....

i just thought they made the nicest character (frankie) die to make war seem extra heartbreaking (which it is) like… people, real people, defending our country can be taken away just like that?

It’s a real occurrence in the military. The levels of self hate and unrealized oppression is a complex bag to unpack.

Because you actually think blacks can’t be racist lol. XD

If people don't join the military then they will start drafting so please join the military.

@@lisah8438 lol. True.

I’m so sorry about your dad. My dad was sent to Iraq twice but luckily he was involved in the admistrative side and was never in direct combat. A lot of my family is military but my dad wouldn’t allow my siblings or me to enlist. I just took my GI bill money and ran. They treat the members like crap.

@@lisah8438 me: cutely moves out of the US

@@lisah8438 People will not accept a draft, the government would be foolish to try that again.

Just from the clips it’s obvious that the movie is not endorsing this character. He seems to function as a cartoonish representation of the worst kind of people you see in the military. He also seems to be placed as a constant opponent to the main character. In other words, someone for the audience to dislike.

As a female veteran. I’ve met some good people in my time in, but some of the shittiest most evil people join the military. The country seeing us all as upstanding citizens capable of no wrong really works in the favor of the evil ones.

@@jamesharrison9469 I agree but the movies do not make it better by having only Cassie openly disapprove what he says and him not having any bad consequences for his words. It enables him in a way.

@@llel1416 again, the main character rejecting him is enough. Does Arrested Development endorse all of the characters bad behaviors since there is only the main character condemning them?

Also, isnt the whole point of going to the middle east to “protect” the innocent “backwards” iraq citizens and get the big bad taliban? Like his job is supposed to be to protect some of the “arabs” too???

Wait his dad did that in the movie 💀 i didn't think this movie was this bad

@@Abhishekxsahu no he scoffed at the house which had flags on it he’s just assuming it was at the flags. maybe the dude just dislikes apartments i know plenty of old people that do

@@femto7579 are u fucking serious lmao 💀 he laughed at flags obviously he doesn't like gay people or gay people living as themselves! Fuck being gay , he laughed at blm flags naurr

​@@femto7579 can't tell if you're joking.

And several (mostly white) liberal women have this fantasy of "fixing" these conservative men 🥴.

well people in general... since the left burns down the country

That's not what happens in the movie I think you got the wrong idea. Just because Cassie took care of Luke and nursed him back to help doesn't mean she's gonna give up her career and become a traditional housewife. Neither Luke or Cassie change their political ideals, Cassie doesn't change what she is. They hang on to their beliefs and their still able to get along together and look after one another.

@@thatonkgau5221 Which is why this romance sucks. Luke is still a conservative Republican. He is still a hypocrite who will actively vote against her rights (Republicans voted to make insulin less affordable) and she goes from being understandably disgusted with to falling in love with him even though none of things she found so offensive about him changed…but he’s nicer to her so I guess that makes up for it

@@sugarpearl9781 If the movie was a about a liberal feminist that meets a conservative soldier and changes his "false" beliefs. Then it would be even more annoyingly woke and preachy then it was before. And it was already in your face about the politics I wouldn't want any more social commentary shoved down my throat. We have seen how to much wokeness ruins good story telling.

i mean, who says something can’t be both wholesome and depressing? like, that’s how life is a lot of the time.

Agreed!! I didn't touch on it much in this vid, but I thought it was really troubling how Cassie was forced to forgive so many of Luke's red flags.

yes!!

Come on people it's just crap writing. Not everything has an Insidious motive, some things are just crap. And this movie is hot sweaty garbage. Crap writing, crap acting, crap production, just crap all the way around. They couldn't even get the ADR right for crying out loud Movie was terrible. And thanks to all the outrage now we're going to get a sequel. I am not watching that garbage. The script writer needs to have their laptop revoked. And a boring film.

@@galemartin9155 If you thought it was so terrible, why do you care so much about critics trying to unpack its themes and implications?

or to put it another way it's a "Support Are Troops by marrying them and pumping out more children to raise and send into the forever wars " type movie

It's absolutely absurd that they just bring it up and don't question why things are the way they are

It just hasnt to be!

Para de ser fresca muie

Seriously thooooo, I’m a type 1 diabetic too and I was befuddled and it’s terrible how they use diabetes in this movie.

That's what made me mad because my neighbor passed due to rationing her insulin and the movie makes it into a plot device to build their relationship

Oh crap. That’s sucks. I hope your Mom is going better.

I mean, Colleen Hoover has somehow amassed a massive audience despite pretty much everything I’ve read about the romances in her books make them sound more toxic than going camping in the middle of fucking Chernobyl, so…

You forget, that this wasnt a real relationship. You seem to not getting the fantasy of this movie, that she only marries him because she needs his marine Health insurance, so she does not have to buy her medicine by her own. In any other case, her character might have left.

@@Nehelyn Yeah but in the movie its shown that they Fall in love for real so the fake marriage is thrown out the window by the end anyways and even if the relationship is fake it doesnt justify how he treats her regardless he's just sucks.

@@Nehelyn I didn't forget. The fact their relationship wasn't real in the beginning is irrelevant when the movie is framing it as a romance. Her being stuck with him so she literally doesn't die actually makes the whole thing worse, not better. People are coerced into abusive relationships all the time.

@@strawburryjamz2974 You know, if you dont believe, that people can change, then why are you even here? Why are you one of those who critisize everyone? Is it fun? I've seen this movie. You have a sad life if this is what you took from it.

LMFAOOOOOOOO

It’s like that “singing in cursive” meme but real. Like I KNOW Sofia can sing, what the actual hell was she doing here??

In the first song I thought her singing was part of the plot and she was going to faint while singing

@@erikdaniels0n it's not even cursive anymore, it's straight up scribbles 😩

Agreed. Aesthetically quite nice but needed more enunciation and power

Lol my boyfriend was playing video games while I watched this and giggled when he heard it too.😅

Alex Meyer is one of the people in that screenshot and he really doesn't deserve to be put into that category. He gives his vids click-batey titles, but he doesn't unnecessarily hate on anything just because it's for girls. And he actually likes rom coms and teen dramas

@@Hana9916 tbh I occasionally watch vids from all three of the creators I used in those screenshots, it was more taking aim at that style of clickbait than the content or creators themselves. No real disrespect intended!

@@jane-mulcahy I watch them too and I took it as a fair and playful jab. hilarious line and screenshot XD

I mean I like some of their videos ...but when was the last time they criticized something aimed to a male audience(?

I will agree the Arab scene is cringe, it shouldn’t have existed however I don’t see this film glorifying it, cause we have Cas as the main character who calls out to this idiot who wants to kills Arabs, this hate to lovers trope is based on liberal and conservatives coming from a different perspective which I’m not against but I can agree in some ways in this film it’s done poorly and there are dark sides of the military army specifically in the US that they don’t portray it’s mostly “good men fighting for there country”.

@@Femmeaesthetic I think that despite her fighting for morally correct things, Cassie is easily dismissed and is essentially stripped of her liberalism. Luke doesn’t change his view for the better and that is where the film poorly portrays his “growth”, she just falls in love with him despite his views not changing or evolving

@@Femmeaesthetic i agree, i think the point of the film (which a lot of ppl missed, maybe the film didn’t show it well enough) is that you can form a middle ground between two perspectives, between two people raised so differently. it’s about like understanding, accepting others, yada yada yada. and it does show that a lot of brave people join the military in hopes of defending the people of their country (which i don’t think is bad?) they also of course, as many films do, made the nicest character die, probably to show how horrifying war is.

@@Femmeaesthetic calling that line cringe is so fucking funny omg

@@Playlistmastermind she doenst change her views either. there’s a line “you can still be a feminist and accept help from a man” showing she still has her beliefs and he does as well. given he becomes less sexist and antagonist towards her meaning he does grow the movie just never tells you it subtly shows you

It's good to be critically-thinking Bollywood fans!! We can love DDLJ AND hate Raj being a creep lmao

Agreed, holy shit

@@jane-mulcahy For real. DDLJ was the first Bollywood movie I ever watched, and it’s my favorite movie of all time. That being said, I have to fast forward through Raj and Simran’s first meeting if I want to have a comforting, non-triggering watch.

buying a shirt that says "we should ALL be evil SJWs who hate guns, love feminism, and can't afford lifesaving medical care"

If they could’ve just faced and learned from eachother it would’ve been better and made sense. But I do agree they basically ignored each other’s differences

if you base your relationship off politics, you're fucking mental

Yeah, I don't know why it's being seen as military propaganda. It's literally all the worst stuff that pops up in the military and then amped up to an 11. Nothing about this movie screamed "yay for the military" to me.

I honestly think the people around this film was to make this a love to hate film by trolling both sides.

Well you see if they had been at all critical of the military, they wouldn't have been allowed to film at Camp Pendleton! We couldn't have that! 🙄

@@jane-mulcahy well, you got me there! What would have been of this movie had they used a pretend city with a pretend base? It would have been ruined

Yea

Yeah I'm reading the book right now (I actually got in contact with the ghost writer, might try to make a video about it) and so far it seems like there's a lot of nuance the movie left out. Really hard to understand why they would shoot themselves in the foot like that!

@@jane-mulcahy a friend of mine was like really excited that the movie would come out and forced me to read the book so we could watch the movie together, but we were unbelievably disappointed.

they definitely are at risk of SA. I was heavily contemplating going into the military when I was in high school, and my dad sat me down and had a conversation with me about different experiences he'd heard women talk about while being overseas. and then proceeded to play 'devils advocate' and say that he doesn't 100% believe that those events happened, but I do appreciate the warning he gave me as it ultimately helped me decide against going in.

@@xXnymphXx Not just overseas, but state side as well. 2 percent of female and 0.7 percent of male service members experience sexual assault in the USA military, mostly service members who are young, just entering the military, or being transferred to a new duty station are particularly vulnerable. I don’t doubt sexual assume happens anywhere in the world (I know South Korea has a big issue with it, especially people using spy cameras on woman), but it’s bad enough it happens state side,

That's absolutely wild, I had no idea that existed. I'm sorry you went through that. And the fact that you and others wouldn't get any support afterwards. Like you say, I don't blame or disrespect the individuals who enlist, but clearly there's a lot of corruption in the institution

Why do you admire people who voluntrarily enlist to go to foreign countries to terrorize civilians there only for the material interests of an imperial nation that builds its entire wealth on explotation and violence?

yeah same here i dont know if anyone will see this but i honestly fet really ashemed for being seperated. (my story) I signed up for the marine corps in highscool, basically went to meps and went to PT twice a week at my recuriters office. think rotc but less discipline and no uniforms. My recuriter told me i hd to want it. Thats how they get you they target young guys with nothing but teststerone and the news telling them they will have no life in a dead end job. So my dumbass enlisted and aslo i should note your recurter can get you to PFC which is one rank above private if you "persuade one or two fellows to follow you" i wish i was kidding about that. While i was still in scool and couldent go to boot yet i was doing that two days a week pt and with that which was called (delayed entry program ). Anyways to shorten the story i shipped to boot at MCRD in san diego we got off the bus got immeditly ripped to shreds verbally. and you know ypical stuff "you are now property of the us government speel" so with that about two weeks in i was dropped due to a medical illness that prevented me from completing trainin. i was put into something similar to seps but it was called in the mare coprs RSP recruit seperation process. so to shorten it i was told to A. kill myslef almost everyday at the mess while eating. B withheld food because i was not essential. basically whole platoon cut infront of us that was in training still andwe were told since we werent in traing anymore they coud give a hit less. yeah i went a whole day with out eating becasue that happend three times in a row funny right. american heroes. C. clean officers huts or rooms and the head while being berated and funnily enough the only nice things said were "hey maybe you can still join the army" Ah yes becasue i want to support the govermnet more when it is littely making scrub shit off a toilet wiht my bare hand for a illness i cant control. Funny side not but my rack mate was this kid from alska who scared the shit out of me. Said hed "get the butter " if i ever snored" yeah thats funny talk for grape time with out the g. and like the this guy said we didnt get benefits which i do think is fair i wouldent accept it but what will agree with him on is basically every thing he said propsto you bro hope you see this even though its been a year. If you are reading this please do yourslef a favor go to a community colege apply for financial aid and live your life unless your are littelry hiomeless or financilay destitue your have options. I had a good freind of mine once say "uncle sam is your baby dayy" and yeah thats pretty accurate. id write more bt im glad to see other people are more open about seperatin in training im tired of hearing teenagers who are joing and brainwahsed talking about what pussies peole like us are but they havent even enlisted yet and dont know the half of it. yeah mentally traumatic is putting it nicely.

I had nightmares for over a year when I got home. it's crazy. Never knew the Marines has a seps of their own. hope you're ok@@skirata7835

it's so long and for what!!

Wow, that's interesting! I hope your friend is doing okay and ends up finding something good for him. I agree, a film like this doesn't just send a bad message to women, but to men about joining the army. One of my biggest problems with the US military is how they target vulnerable people, like by offering a way to pay for college that might sound appealing to people who couldn't otherwise afford it.

@@jane-mulcahy Truly horrific the way they pray on people who need money. Probably part of the reason our government seems to love keeping the poor people poor. Or else who would choose to fight for them.

@@jane-mulcahy yeah idk why anyone would join the airforce or army its all about the marines bitch fuck yeah hoorrahhhh

This movie is unironically better and less propagandistic than his actual fiction. It's dreck of the highest order

I wish there was an option to choose which ads play on my vids 😭

that's what youtube reviews are all about

Yeah "debate me" guys, especially ones who think arguing with women over their human rights to the point of making them really upset on purpose is a fun flirty game, are some of my least favorite people on the planet

how is it propaganda literal almost all of the marines are complete dicks. and the system is shown as greedy and unfair. also how is it abusive? because he told her to sit down which is also framed as a bad thing.

😨😨😨🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰

it's not just you 😭

For real, if not for subtitles I could not make out the words she's trying to say

Lmao i play the song on purpose to annoy my mom and i die crying every time 😭😭 its not just you

i cant wait for the rwarb film only bc this man needs to escape from playing annoying/shitty men

Maybe it’s a good sign to not idealize actors lol

@@shizzlemywizzle1 there is a difference between idolizing and liking lmao

idk about the red white and royal blue movie...seems like another CMBYN in the making

@@williammahe i mean have you read the book? Basic plot, the son of the president of the United States and the prince of wales have to pretend to be friends because there was some political drama and i mean the rest is pretty obvious. It’s just a cute romance, and they’re adults which I appreciate and not like 16 lmao

Literally as soon as that character's girlfriend had some dialogue like 'I love him so much and I worry so much when he's away' I was 100% sure he was dead. Also you just made me realize that the only two black characters in this are 1. the one guy who dies and 2. the most racist, sexist character in the movie who yells about hunting down Arabs

Yessss I was watching the movie while texting my boyfriend, when he asked me what movie I was watching I told him: something about hearts idk, but there is a misogynist dude, and the girl is talking to him because she knows a black dude that I'm sure he is going to die

woah you dont like something just like every other fucking human big fucking deal

I’m sorry, THIS MOVIE and FUCKING AQUAMARINE have the same director?????? How?!

I've never heard the second film's name. is it any good??

Well women can be assholes too

Man that's a depressing thought, but could be. I loved Handsome Devil, which is why I want him to succeed. At least his next big movie is a gay romance!

@@jane-mulcahy RIGHT!!! I want him to succeed too.

Could that be why he’s also not as involved in the press tour/promos? Because he’s not as butch in real life? His next role is Prince Henry in RWRB so that would negate any butching up attempts 🤣

@@dira2009 So I think he didn’t do physical touring because he was still filming RWRB. I think he’s butch enough, but he’s English, and the character he’s playing in Purple Hearts is like a MAGA wet dream…Which I don’t think he can pull off. He very well may be heterosexual, I just always find it interesting when straight actors play multiple Queer characters. Especially so early in his career, and so closely together.

no fr the lack of media literacy from ppl who genuinely enjoy this movie is insane

@@litttlepigboy lies it’s not even that bad

@@theholyfridge2130 did you even watch this video?

@@quinn.j4381 yes and it has some bias

@@theholyfridge2130 like what?

I guess, but also The Kissing Booth does not glorify things like the military, the US healthcare system, or this idea of 'conservative man tames liberal woman' (which was the point of this video more than the general toxicity of the relationship.) I also think, while obviously yes the relationship in tkb is toxic, it's worth acknowledging that those movies are so much more ridiculous and light-hearted than this. They do not beg to be taken seriously like this one does. Not saying what they depict is okay or that it has no impact on impressionable viewers, but I do think the over-the-top comedic fantasy escapism is kind of a different animal than this dead serious romantic drama. Also to be clear, I never said I defend the Kissing Booth/don't think it's bad, just that I enjoy it. Glad you liked the vid!

The movie was great. What the hell you're talking about? You guys are so triggered its hilarious lol
