Marxist Film Analysis: The Dark Knight Rises
Added 2018-06-16 20:59:22 +0000 UTCHey Everyone,
I did a guest appearance on The Left Media Podcast to analyze Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises".
I am proud of this episode, and I think we managed to generate some truly unique analysis of this film, which is saying something, since this film has been analyzed to death!
Topics include the Occupy Movement, how all cops and capitalists are bad, Nolan's anxiety as a rich man and ignorance to left wing politics (anarchism and Marxism), we analyzed Catwoman and Bane from a left wing perspective, showed how Batman is a fascist figure, the contradictions inherent in the lumpenproletariat, and much, much more!
As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. I think you all will really enjoy this one!
Hopefully this holds you over until new Rev Left episodes come out in the next couple of days! We have episodes on Malcolm X and MLK as well as the Maoist movement in the US during the 70's and the FBI's aggressive response to them. So lots of good new shit is on its way!
Thank you to everyone who donates to the show! We love you deeply.
- Brett
