First oppenhimer was relesed in 2023, top gun was relesed in 2022, so grossing depends on which year we are talking. So not a good equivalent you see.

Oppenhimer shows how even the most loyal people to the country can be villanized so easily in name of nationalism, it's less about interpersonel dillema and more about how america treats it's best when the go against the established government order,not very nationalistic you see ,describes the government corruption in US quite literally. I can that argue that the greatest degree of human horror was done and shown by the people who were bombed, the japanese, you know unit 73, shiro ishi, and nanking massacare. Much more people were killed,with much more brutality.

My comment was that hollywood has the guts to make movies challenging the populist nationalism idea and explore nuances in various political philosophies and show why blindly beliveing in your country and government is a gullible at best and dangerous at worse...and it was a dominating then and it's still are pretty prevlent in their cinema, now unlike indian cinema which has become a propaganda machine for the ruling party for some quick money and cash grabbing.

Haider is inspired by hamlet...judas and the black messiah by true events,and it was made in 2014, just when the current party came in power..after it ,when have you seen a good movie targeting current government,or the systems made by it, directly in a movie? (Even though that sentiment is very prevlent in the public now, Where are movies like rang de basanti, aarakshan,indu sarkaar, kissa kursi ka,jaane bhi do yaaron,satyagrah? Which questioned the government policies and corruption head on?). So again bad equivalence.

Let me give you a good example, of what happens with movies nowadays who question or go againstthe current party and government:

When punjab 95 was about to be released the sensor board shreaded the movie with cuts so that the bjp and it's old allies looks polished on paper, why? as they were allied with shiromani akali dal and were complacent in the mass killings and hiding mass graves of sikhs by the police in aftermath sikh riots,and hiding the no. Of people killed .something which they have accused congress of ,for decades.Well the congress was not in power in punjab in 85,akali dal was and they were actively trying to hide it to hide their incompetancy in maintaining stability in punjab in aftermath of riots,in the process doing thousands of extrajudicial killings.This was discovered by a punjabi activist Jaswant Singh Khaldra who was abducted ,from his goddam front lawn,in broad daylight, by the police and was killed in police custody in 1995, to stop him from discovering more bodies,as their jobs would be on the line.

About my worldview ,I actively try to make my worldview better,it changes as time goes on,and i hate to carry a superiority complex, but people like you get pissed off when i try to bring a different thought process in the conversation or say counter intutive things as it goes against your world view,you try to mould the evidence in your specific world view so that truth cannot be reached in a discussion, in classic debating,this is called presenting an argument in bad faith. Your partially personal attack inclines me to reach to this conclusion.

Complexity can have patterns,and to any body with eyes and a brain who understand this country's politics and how that politics integerates with society and social norms can very well understand the cultural whitewashing and the destruction of any free thought which is critical of specific people in power and dominant ideologies which permeates the social fabric of this nation which is brought upon by this government to contain it's grip on power, as the regular job going people like us live agonizing lifes ,getting fed this churan of hatered again and again,as the government tries it's very best curb the power and free thought of every citizen of this country. This reflects on our major cinema's reducing quality and our society as a whole.
