Movies that you like but are morally questionable?

You mention docs so are we talking morally questionable in how they present facts?

Amadeus - villainizes Sallueri who in real life wasn't a jealous prick that drove Mozart to death.

Schindler's List - presents Schindler purely as an uninvolved observer until he isn't. In reality, Schindler was a Nazi spy who's work helped the Nazis invade Poland, so he kinda helped kill way more people than he saved.

Then here are some movies morally questionable in general:

The Dark Knight - torture, illegal spying, and fascism are all necessary evils.

The Lion King - we have rightful rulers, and it's okay that they eat us because eventually we get to eat their shit. Also, those starving darkies need to stay in their place.

Saving Private Ryan - you should really kill POWs. Also, 8 people to save 1 might be okay?The movie never really decides, but seems to lean there.

James Bond - Archelaus' Goldfinger example where he rapes a lesbian straight is a good starting point. The whole series kinda belongs here.

I already see a topic like this will be interpreted in different ways as some are looking at actions in movies, which would be easy to fault a lot of movies in this regard since acting the way many do in movies would be a bad idea in real life etc.

but personally... I am looking at it more in terms of having a effect on the viewer in a negative way (like to where one should not see certain movies for moral reasons (I get what qualifies here will be a bit open to interpretation and all though)). but in this regard I pretty much dumped roughly 5-15 movies a while ago now as even though I considered some to be good enough to be among my favorite movies, I had to let some go. even recently I dumped one more in this regard. I am not going to list these though.

Cannibal Holocaust - Real animals were killed in the making.

Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams. Cheech breaks the fourth wall to joke about date raping a woman passed out in his ice cream truck. It was a terrible scene even for its day, and I'm surprised that film is even still available for viewing given the current cancel culture.

 I don't think it promotes killing POWs.  A few surrendering troops are shot at the end of the Normandy sequence, but the film certainly isn't condoning that behavior.  Those weren't even Nazi soldiers surrendering, they were conscripted soldiers from Czechoslovakia.  Or are you making a common misconception:



As far as eight men to save one, plenty of missions require potential risk to more men than the human objective, whether to extract or terminate the target.  The film itself probably questions the morality of this equation more than the soldiers would, hence the radar site sequence giving their side mission greater importance in the grand scheme of the war.

TDK is a fascinating watch (well, minus the heavy handed ferry sequence) for its sociopolitical commentary.  The Winter Soldier addressed similar themes from a more overt geopolitical angle.  Both of these superhero films ask the viewer how comfortable they are ceding power to authorities depending on the threat level, and how far they're willing to stretch legal and moral limits to achieve a 'greater good.'  They differ in that Batman (ironically as a vigilante) represents authority in his respective film, while Captain America represents the will of the people to resist totalitarianism.  TDK certainly exists in more of a moral gray area with its messaging.  (Though it should be noted that Nick Fury, one of the 'heroes' of the MCU, is completely onboard with Project Insight and only changes his mind when he realizes he no longer has control of it.  In that regard he's no different than the film's villain; they simply have slightly different agendas.  This is one of the reasons I think TWS, despite being one of the more respected MCU films, still doesn't get the credit it deserves as a think piece beyond the bluster of super heroics.)              

They made it look like Sesame Street!

In Star Wars, did they really have to blow up the Death Star, killing not only Grand Moff Tarkin (who did deserve it), but also many, many accountants, custodians, shop keepers, chefs, and maintenance workers?
