Possible other starting quote: “Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.” – Shithead Jefferson
One of America’s Founding Fathers and proto rap star Alexander Hamilton is quoted as saying, ““It has been observed by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.” In Troma’s War, premier progressive-as-fuck satirist director Lloyd Kaufman epitomizes the philosophy, “America is ruled by a bunch of assholes”. This flick is anti-war, anti-gov’t, anti-conspiracy, just about everything American anti-exceptionalism–the US can be a pretty fucked-up place and we’ve done some shady shit in the past to the world as well as ourselves. We’re blessed to have Lloydy satirize the living crap out of it all–he’s so progressive!
This movie has…no plot or story (or maybe too many)? A buncha Tromaville Tromites are dumped on a remote island when their airplane shits the bed. Their day gets even better when they discover a group of some random as fuck super-inclusive military elite terrorists (well…Kaufman elite) and their evil plan to destabilize America by infecting the populace using the power…of AIDS! (By the power of AIDSkull!) Tremble with terror! Dance with dread! Wiggly with worry! With a body count in the hundreds, two shadow despots for the price of one, and the biological weaponization of the AIDS Brigade, Troma’s War is one nutty ass pile of squirrel shit. Join Bryce, Daniel, Roland, and Rey as we explore this cult classic!
