A Conservative Critique of "The Death of Stalin"
"The Death of Stalin," a film ostensibly about a historical event, descends into a cesspool of vulgarity that deeply offends any decent viewer. While the historical horrors of Stalin's regime are undeniable, this movie chooses to portray them through a lens of profanity so excessive it drowns out any serious message.
A Constant Barrage of Bad Language
The sheer volume of profanity is the first and most glaring offense. The movie reportedly uses the f-word 68 times, not to mention a litany of other vulgar terms. These words are not mere colorful language; they are a deliberate assault on the sanctity of human speech. Conservative Our words carry weight, and such language is a disrespectful and offensive way to speak of ourselves and the world.
The constant use of the religious swear words is particularly egregious.
**Humor at the Expense of Morality**
The film reportedly employs profanity for comedic effect. True humor uplifts and entertains, not tears down and degrades. Laughter at the expense of basic decency, especially when coupled with historical atrocities, is not humor at all. It's a mockery of human suffering and a celebration of base instincts.
**Focus on Depravity, Not Redemption**
The excessive profanity becomes a symptom of a larger issue: the film's focus on the depravity of humanity. Humans are capable of great evil, as evidenced by Stalin's regime. However, we can hold onto the hope of redemption through compassion. "The Death of Stalin" offers no such hope. It wallows in the muck, offering no message of transcendence or the possibility for a better future.
**Alternative Ways to Explore History**
There are countless ways to explore the horrors of Stalin's regime without resorting to such vulgarity. Historical dramas can be powerful and impactful without relying on a constant barrage of offensive language. Documentaries can offer a more sobering look at the facts. Even fictional narratives can be crafted that explore the human condition without resorting to profanity.
Why do film makers resort to all this profanity and vulgarity when in real life, like in a professional or decent work place, among decent families, in front of children one does not speak like that. Why is it then that they think I'd like to be entertained by the things I most abhor in life?
**Conclusion**
"The Death of Stalin" is a deeply offensive film from a decent person's perspective. The excessive profanity not only assaults our sensibilities but also undermines any potential message the film might have. There are far more appropriate ways to explore this dark chapter in history, ways that respect basic decency and offer a message of hope alongside the tragedy.
