“Woke” leftists are always on the hunt for something in the culture to attack.
Even harmless movies could be deemed “problematic.”
And Lindsay Lohan was attacked by a far-left rag for a truly insane reason.
Hollywood is notorious for destroying the lives of child actors.
Lindsay Lohan was one of many who rose quickly, then crashed and burned as an adult.
But at 37 years old, Lohan is in the midst of a redemption arc.
Lohan’s comeback
Lohan has been sober for over a decade, and she recently became a mother.
She wrote in a social media post, “I am so proud of what this body was able to accomplish during these months of pregnancy and now, recovery – Having a baby is the greatest joy in the world!”
In addition to having a child, Lohan is again acting in films.
Lohan signed a two-picture deal with Netflix and is reportedly working with Disney on a Freaky Friday sequel.
However, the leftist magazine Vulture was horrified, for some reason, by Lohan’s Netflix romantic comedy Irish Wish.
In the film, Lohan plays a book editor who travels to Ireland for a wedding when she makes a wish, then magically ends up in place of the bride.
Unhinged analysis
Vulture feature writer Rachel Handler wrote that the film “is a thinly veiled Trojan horse for the conservative agenda, a crypto-fascist work of art cluttered with right-wing dog whistles and dialogue that could have only been written by a malevolently programmed artificial intelligence. I attempted to identify and examine its most troubling moments, which ended up being the entire movie from start to finish, which I watched twice while feeling the walls of reality melt around me.”
According to this writer, a silly romantic comedy is a “harbinger” of an authoritarian state.
She also wrote, “Now that I have seen Netflix’s latest film, Irish Wish, I realize I have been but a hapless pawn in a larger sociopolitical plot to maintain the status quo, quell dissent, replace much of the workforce with AI, install a permanent Christian theocratic dictator, and make Ireland look weird for some reason.”
Needless to say, her film analysis leaves a lot to be desired.
For example, Handler described one scene by writing, “In the next scene, as the women hoist their heavy baskets of apples up the drive, Heather says, ‘How about we make an apple pie for Kory?’ Is this some kind of QAnon thing? Regardless, fruit is never addressed again.”
There is no explanation as to how that could possibly be tied to QAnon.
It’s just a goofy throwaway line to feed into a nonsensical reading of the film.
Handler goes on for thousands of words and goes into detail over 48 plot points.
There are exegeses of Citizen Kane and The Godfather shorter than this.
It’s no wonder corporate media outlets like Vulture are collapsing.
