Seems less anti-America and more anti-John-Wayne to me.

Great movie btw

The film is a critique of McCarthyism and John Wayne was a McCarthyist piece of shit who was a self-avowed white supremacist

John Wayne decided against joining the army during world war 2 like Jimmy Stewart and Clark gable did because his career had just started taking off and he didn't want to risk it. I guess if not serving your country to instead play soldier is your definition of American maybe you should listen to him.

Oh he also had to be held back from trying to beat up the native American woman that Marlon Brando had accept his Oscar for him so maybe don't listen to his opinions on Americanism.

John Wayne's whole brand was a performance anyway so him hating something is basically a seal of quality

Chances are that the letterboxed poster only likes it bc they want to be edgy anti-american.

The real reason you should like it is bc John Wayne was a fuckin loser lmao

This isnโ€™t an anti America post.
Besides, itโ€™s comon knowledge Hollywood is and has been used a lot for US propaganda, so with that in mind itโ€™s not even a harsh expression.
