Paranoid leftist film that highlights leftist ignorance

It was a comic book series, not graphic novel, and yes, he refused credit for the reason I stated: the subject, tone and purpose of the film was changed during adaptation. I said that. What's your point?

My point is that the film didn't invent any of what is shown, they just misinterpreted aspects of the comic book. So saying that it was created as part of a "leftist agenda" is BS, because it was created in the eighties by an anarchist writer and an artist as a neutral exploration of fascism, a reaction to Thatcherism and a tribute to various things, and this film is just a weak, shallow, utterly simplified version of that.

Just face it lefties, you've won and its more likely that this country will be installing gulags to cure people who suffer from conservatism than any right wing regime being formed.
Is it me or do lefties tend to lump anyone they disagree with as "right wing" be they conservatives , classical liberals, libertarians, neo cons, thatcherites, Powellites, nationalists and fascists?

The average person wouldn't even have heard of Antonio Gramsci, or know anything about him, and you clearly don't know much about the average person. You're right that conservatives are often ignorant or blind, though.

Wrong on the first point, and on all three examples (maybe less so the second and third ones, particularly if the individual was from England or from France, respectively). Also further evidence both that you don't understand the meaning of the original comic, and that you don't understand the average person, as paranoid rightwing cynics typically do not.

lol, well that's due to pop-culture. I hate that too, but that's got nothing to do with leftwing politics, it's about money, because crap sells. If you have a problem with this film, it's with the American makers and writers of it, not with anything in the UK.

Using a social media discussion of a film and a graphic novel is such a great forum for you to express you disdain of pop culture.

I too hated this movie for all of the reasons you've listed.
I must add, though, that I found that whole "isn't the Koran a lovely book" scene to be particularly repugnant. That's absolutely typical of the Left in Europe - endlessly criticising Christianity and conservatism in the West, while constantly fawning over Islam and "moderate" Muslims (which is usually anyone who is slightly less extreme than the late Osama bin Laden). -

How has it been going in Christian society until the most recent generation or two?
Christianity, the two thousand year old culture that gets to take the high ground because it reformed some of its cultural taboos and prejudices in the last few decades.
