"White Savior narrative"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior_narrative_in_filmMan, I hate the Left. They performed some incredible mental gymnastics to make many of these films conform to their narrative. In "The Help" for example, it's really twisting the message to say that movie has a white supremacist message. It's powerfully critical of the South and the white supremacist notions of the region in that segregationist period.
Likewise, one of my favorite films, "The Last Samurai", is about the greatness of Japanese culture. Only touched on in the movie is how Japan went from a feudalist medeival society in the mid 1860's, and after being terrified of an ironclad U.S. warship that came to Japan and intimidated them into signing a trade deal with the U.S., its leaders set on a rapid program of industrialization and nationalizing Japan into a unified country (as only touched on in portraying Cruise as a hired military advisor). In less than 30 years Japan became a world power, that conquered and colonized Korea in 1895, and defeated Russia and sank half Russia's navy at Port Arthur in 1905. In the film, Cruise's character learns the Samurai culture, and at the end only reminds the emperor of Japan's own greatness and traditions, far from being a "White Savior".
The Left jumps through such incredible hoops to rationalize their own self-loathing, and to teach that self-loathing narrative to others. Along with other self-loathing terms like "institutionalized racism" and "white privelege".
