Taylor Swift ‘Eras’ Film Review Goes Viral for Ridiculous Criticism

Taylor Swift‘s ‘Eras’ movie bought torched by a critic who likened her film to the downfall of society as we all know it — and all we will say about this over-the-top piece is … holy crap.

This critique — which is now going viral, for all of the unsuitable causes — comes courtesy of Armond White of the National Review … which is a widely known conservative outlet, so hold that in thoughts as we information you thru this nonsense.

White does a full-blown sociological examination of the ‘Eras Tour’ flick, as he sees it — and you’ll inform how he views issues from his headline and subheading … “Taylor Swift’s Asylum Seekers … A movie concert promotes post-Madonna, post-Obama mind control.”

You possibly can learn all of it for your self, however this is one excerpt that is getting mocked … “The Swift circus doesn’t replace the thrill of originality and profundity that accompanied the advent of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, the Jackson Five, which Gen Z knows nothing about. Instead, Swift specializes in degraded girl-pop — teenage solipsism, the silliness that kids will ideally outgrow. Yet her songs corrupt puppy love into jejune sophistication.”

He then compares the film’s director, Sam Wrench, to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl … particularly, making Taylor’s live shows much more grand/aesthetically pleasing than they really are in particular person, the best way Riefenstahl did for Hitler — at the very least that appears to be White’s POV.

Not simply this, however White truly tries to juxtapose Swfities innocently dancing in theaters to mass shooter James Holmes, intimating a connection by writing … “The teens in TikTok clips who pitifully bounce and sing along with the film’s pre-recorded concert are the flip side of those nerds and sociopaths who lined up for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in Aurora, Colo.”

If that sounds unhinged, that is as a result of it’s … that is definitely how Twitter feels about it, anyway. They’re unloading on White’s hyperbole over one thing as benign as a live performance movie.

He ends his scorched-earth evaluation this fashion … “Boomer parents may want to let them have their fun — same as toying with matches and playing in the traffic. But here’s a frightening fact of the Swifties pheenom: These kids seem ready for a leader, anxious for totalitarianism. It will take a counterrevolution to repair Swift’s moral, aesthetic, and political damage.”

FWIW, White could be very a lot a person aside right here … ‘trigger nearly each different movie critic (massive and small) has praised the ‘Eras’ film for being what it’s — a healthful, good time.
