Sound of Freedom movie - indicator of a seismic shift?

The reviews aren't very good, but a place with audience ratings gives it 4.9/5. It's described as about an important topic but not a very good movie, the New York Times said the real-life agent is accused of exaggerating his rescue operations. I guess people on the fence on child sex trafficking might benefit?
 
The movie reminds me of those social media posts around 2019/2020, at least from what I've heard of it, and it looks like it is going to start up those ridiculous, fearmongering posts all over or similar ones.

The problem is that things like this give people poor info or information that is out of context.

For example, the memes/posts stating "800k kids are reported missing every year in the US". That actually is a fact. However, the problem is that well over 90% of those reported missing are back with their parents or guardians within 48 hours and they are most likely just either hiding from their parents, temporary runaways (just mad and willing to come back), and most of those who are actually kidnapped have been taken by their parents or other relatives.

Less than 350 child abductions by strangers in this country occur each year and the vast majority of those are not going to be child trafficking. They are still going to be for more nefarious reasons, and certainly not something good, but they aren't likely to be child traffickers.

The info they put out is fearmongering, it gets people riled up to do stupid things, to believe in these stupid conspiracy theories. This is what led to those stupid claims about Wayfair selling kids or enabling child trafficking.
 
I haven’t seen it. Friends have and the resounding theme after watching is it makes one want to do some pretty nasty things to people who do this stuff.
 
Because it treats child sex trafficking as something carried out by elite criminal cabals as part of giant conspiracy (QAnon shit), as opposed to how it is carried out most of the time: by the child’s guardian, often family members.

WE know that it isn't just a conspiracy theory.
Human trafficking is a realty.

EPSTEIN sex ring - which included Prince Andrew among the accused - is an example.
He owns an island where these sexual peddling of children took place.





Epstein, 65, is a billionaire and convicted pedophile who owns a private island known as ‘pedo island’ – a favourite hotspot for Hollywood and D.C. elites.


The FBI received accounts from about 40 under age girls who said they had been molested by Epstein.
Despite this, in 2008, the government agreed to allow Epstein to plead guilty to just one count of soliciting prostitution from an underage girl under Florida state law, for which he served 13 months in prison.
He is a registered sex offender.

On April 3, 2018, Q Anon posted a message on the AltMedia message board 8chan, with an overhead photo of Epstein’s Pedo Island, and an allusion to “tunnels” and rooms underneath the island of “pure evil”.

On April 6, Q Anon posted this follow-up comment:



The Ray Chandler Instagram link is now gone. For that matter, Rachel (Ray) Chandler, a casting director, has taken her Instagram account private.
The AltMedia chatter is that her Instagram and Tumblr accounts contain many disturbing images of children.



Fortunately, 8chan netizens took a screenshot of the Ray Chandler Instagram pic and some of the comments:




Trafficking of children don't always have to be "brutal."

Epstein is dead. Here is a picture taken with him and one of his "D.C." buddies before he died.

You're talking about child abuse......thus you say it's mostly carried out by kids' guardians and family members.


The movie is about
..................................children TRAFFICKING!



Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts.
The coercion can be subtle or overt, physical or psychological. Exploitation of a minor for commercial sex is human trafficking, regardless of whether any form of force, fraud, or coercion was used.



It's a form of slavery!
 
I'm trying to understand the post, or the outcry.

What is the seismic shift? I get that it is a movie about child sex trafficking, but what is the debate?
It's a QAnon movie that buys into all the QANon conspiracy theories. And there is actually different kinds of debacles around it. One is a conspiracy theory that the theatres are trying to stop fans from seeing the movie, which is bs. If a theater is screening a film, they want people to see it because of money. But it seems like the conspiracy comes from people failing to get tickets to the film because the film is "sold out" despite the theatres not being full. This has nothing to do with the theatres trying to stop fans though. It's because some rich QAnon people has just bought all the seats for several showings. Then there is another stupid conspiracy theory that the theatres are spiking the drinks of people who goes to see the movie with nanobots. Then there are conspiracy theories that the theatres randomly cancel showings, just based on a few incidents where they did cancel a showing because the air conditioner did not work. The QAnon people just loves their conspiracies.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were in a same party together.
If your target clientele are from the elite - where will you go?
I imagine he moves in elites' circles.
That doesn't mean ALL elites are his clientele.


Photos don't mean much.
One can easily have a photo with people they hardly knew.
SCRUTINY-WISE........................... it's the kind of association one would have with someone, that would matter.




He also had a photo with Bill Clinton! Check it out on this article:



After all, Clinton flew on the private plane of Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was arrested again in July 2019 on new charges related to child-sex-prostitution.
The two were also both present at a "small dinner party" in 1995 hosted by Revlon mogul Ron Perelman to raise funds for the Democratic National Convention.

It seems reasonable to believe that someone at some point took a photograph of these two well-known public figures together.

On July 22, 2019, Josh Rosner, the managing director of independent research consultancy Graham Fisher & Co, alerted us to his tweet containing
a photograph of Epstein and Clinton that was published in a 2003 issue of Vanity Fair:

This photograph was published in a March 2003 article by Vicky Ward entitled, "The Talented Mr. Epstein." The photograph's caption: "Epstein with President Clinton in Brunei, 2002."






Ghislaine Maxwell Confirms Bill Clinton Was on Jeffrey Epstein's Plane in Unsealed Documents

In Giuffre's own deposition, she claimed to have seen Clinton with two young girls and heard Epstein say the former President owed him favors.


Maxwell was sued in 2015 for defamation after calling Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre a liar.
The case was settled out of court in 2017 but only after Maxwell gave her deposition over two sittings in 2016.
Maxwell had appealed the decision to unseal her deposition and other documents, saying the release would damage her ability to defend herself.

However, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a decision by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska that Maxwell's argument was "meritless," Reuters reported.
Giuffre celebrated the ruling on Twitter, thanking her lawyers David Boies and Sigrid McCawley.

It was a convenient way to have died the way he did.
Left alone in his cell..........................(for someone who would've have been on a suicide watch).....................no guards anywhere to have seen him "commit suicide."


Jeffrey Epstein was taken off suicide watch by high-level psychologist

The financier who was being held on federal sex-trafficking charges died by suicide on Aug. 10 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan





Too bad, people will always wonder.

No, I’m talking about child trafficking, the majority of which is conducted by children’s guardians.

Can you provide any source to back that up?

Anyway - human trafficking, is human trafficking.


It doesn't make any difference who does it to whom.
That it's parents or guardians who traffick them, doesn't lessen the evil.
I hope you don't suggest that that makes it different.

It's most heartbreaking with children..........................................especially so when it's people that ought to protect them that does it.

I would like them to define, "exaggerating."


Would exaggerating his rescue operations makes the evil of human trafficking any less?

I've never even heard of the movie until I stumbled upon articles/youtube about it.
Apparently - it's a surprise hit!

It's not so much a seismic shift as it is really just the truth coming out.

The fact is ordinary Americans are sick and tired of the wokeists and their attempts to indoctrinate the public with their extremist identity politics. This is why woke movies like Little Mermaid bombed, and Bud Light lost its top selling beer spot. People are fed up by all this leftist crap.

This proves that the woke movie critics are out of touch with the public, and theyre paid to attack movies like this, while sucking up to the Hollywood left's chosen movies, even though many of them have bombed.

So because real child trafficking doesnt happen too often we should ignore it? WTF?
 
The movie plays into QAnon tropes/conspiracies about child sex trafficking as opposed to presenting the real picture of how it actually happens.

And again, before any conservative brings it up, just because a movie claims it is “based on a true story” doesn’t mean it actually is. That phrase is less regulated than food being marked “organic”.
I did not realize that until I read the article I posted above from Vice about Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) group - post# 10

I detest that a crime as serious as child trafficing would use this topic to elevate conspiracy theories :mad:

I have decided now not to watch the movie now

QAnon Is Using the Anti-Trafficking Movement’s Conspiracy Playbook

Both are swimming in the same false claims and exaggerated campaigns.

When leftist movie critics review a non-leftist preaching, non-woke movie, these are the types of reviews you get. No surprise.

LOL.... It's a feel good movie.... I'll probably watch it but realize its "very loosely" based on reality...
 
"Sound of Freedom movie - indicator of a seismic shift?"

If there's any sort of 'seismic shift' it would be the clear indication that the majority of the movie going public isn't willing to put their money down to see a leftist preaching, woke movie, pushing ideology.
Pretty clearly they've had enough of that.

It does matter that child trafficking is not being carried out by elite cabals of criminals a la the QAnon conspiracy bullshit this movie is peddling.
