movie insulting government

You know my friend, movie in that particular scenery is very unpleasant but it is really true that government should be awake in what they are trying to implicate to the public... Your government and our government is the same where rampant corruption is happening in all the corner...

LOL... the movie you are describing sound familiar... haha... Seems to be from "I Not Stupid", there is a part 2 to the movie too... I have watch a series of these similar "motive" movies from the same director from my country. Not too bad as it directs towards some of my countries' policies and regulations. Most of our citizens can relate to it very well... Some of them even continues to be one of our TV drama, though not so popular as we get bored of it. Most of us, including myself, watch it out of fun and looking back at ourselves and laugh about it. As the topics the director touched on are always the subject most of our citizens are either discussing or complaining about. I even heard a rumour saying that the director is been watched closely by the government. Heard they are trying to catch any slip up he may have made and take the opportunity to detain him if they have a chance. Not sure if that is true... haha... Come to think of it, my government can be quite strict and stubborn about some rules and regulations.

I don't like to be preached at by movies, education or media.. In our country it's not anti gov but usually anti one party and all for the other.. I don't think that has anywhere in 'news' media or in education! people after power like to use whatever they can to sway the people. And if you don't march in step w/ everyone, it's you who's supposedly brainwashed! - I don't know how it is in your country.. besides what you shared of course, but just wanted to take this opportunity to vent a little!

I think in general movies like this provoke people to think about what's going on in the world and in their government, so I would say it's usually a good thing.

our country had been governed by a dictator for more than 20 years. and there were a lot of bad things that that government gave the people. at that time, there was martial law, so you cannot just make movies against them. but when that government was replaced by a better one, there were movies to feature the bad things that that government had made. until now, there are still movies that talks about the bad things that old and even the present government had given to the people.

I guess it is common for American movie... it depends the society or culture. We can't say which is good or bad. If only the movie doesn't insult our current gov, then I am interested to watch. The country should stipulate more to keep social stability, movies can be influential to some people.

ya i have watched many movies like that and have felt that the government or the people who vote wont realise things and all.i like such type of movie because movie is a great medium to reach everyone so some stupids who doesnt even know their rights they have in that country will come to know that and will be cautious in selecting the candidate.upto me where ever the country is undeveloped the government holds the full responsibilty but the selection of government is on the peoples hand so everyone should focus to a develped nation.am sorry i dint get your story but generlly its a good topic.
