I have zero interest in this movie and I don't hold its subject in much estimation, but it does make me wonder about her... Questions that the movie, if it does answer them, can't be trusted to answer honestly.
Like, what was she like as a child and teenager? What were her hopes and dreams? What is her personal ambition for herself now? What would she do if she was free from Trump and had money?
What was the hardest choice she ever had to make? What's her biggest regret? What (does she think) was her greatest personal achievement?
An article headline makes a claim about someone, but specifically doesn't mention who they are, because the context makes it obvious.
You respond with a "so (deliberate misinterpretation which also fits the description given)".
For example:
Headline: Movie about First Lady is as vacuous as its subject
Comment: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix.
Pwnd libs: "..."
Zing! Eat that libs. Takedown complete.
Now, what you've failed to understand here is that the headline quite specifically mentions the name of the movie, "Melania", so it doesn't work as a flow. Because no-one in their right mind would think the Michelle Obama documentary is called "Melania". Imagine overhearing this conversation on the bus:
Person 1: I saw that "Melania" movie recently. It is as vacuous as its subject matter!
Person 2: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix?
At best we're assuming that person 2 has misheard, and probably "has dementia" is higher up the list than "has just made a cutting remark".
I love how much people here loves to shit on reddit, and then the userbase is 10 times worse (especially in reading comprehension, hive mind and irony)
Remember when that documentary came out in 2020 when Michelle Obama was totally still in government as the first lady?
Oh wait...
Also I remember that when the deal was given to the Obama's during Barrack's Tariff Fiasco he cut a sweet heart deal to Jeff Bezos after they got the bribe, I mean movie deal?
Wait that was Barrack HUSSAIN Obama right? Right?
Remember how Michelle Obama was paid more for her movie than ANY other documentary in history?
Okay, I read your other comments and I see where you went wrong.
See, most people engaging with this are biased against the Melania movie - they're reading your comment as "look this other documentary centered on Michelle Obama is equally trash, what's the big deal?"
Whereas, you were intending to say "if you want to watch a good documentary about a first lady who actually cares then check out the Michelle Obama documentary on Netflix."
Sometimes, it's really interesting to see what people upvote and downvote. Especially in cases like this where I imagine almost all the folks downvoting you actually agree with what you were trying to say.
Fuck is wrong with you? Purpose of the post was to advocate boycotting the mail order whore's mockumentary by watching the documentary of a real first woman (Michelle Obama).

I'd love to know if there is anyone that actually watched this thing thinking it was anything other than a bribe to the Donvict Crime Family.

Right, so the way these jokes works is this:
An article headline makes a claim about someone, but specifically doesn't mention who they are, because the context makes it obvious.

For example:

Anyway, better luck next time.

What the fuck is wrong with you? The point was to watch Michelle Obama's becoming as a protest to the mail order whore's vanity project.
Are you stupid?

Wait, the movie isn't called Michelle...

Pretty much.

If Netflix paid $75 million for a worldwide theatrical release of that documentary that would be an apt comparison.
They did not and it is not.

Holy shit bro, she was the 1st lady at one point too! 🤯

The point is as a boycott the the mail order prostitutes vanity project, watch "Becoming" instead.
Jesus Christ nuance is dead with you people.

False equivalence.

Ummm what? Watch an actually first lady (Michelle Obama) instead of a mail ordered whore (Melania).
