Are there really any Red Pill Movies out there? Probably not. Modern productions suffer from unchecked radical feminism. Older movies accepted the traditionalist roles for men: protect and provide, be loyal etc. Men as useful plow-horses, eager to sacrifice their lives for women. Feminism and Traditionalism are the two sides of the same coin, Gynocentrism, and those oldies depicting the stereotypical "macho" man subscribed to the later.
I rarely watch movies, nowadays. Those said, there are some movies I would call "Red Pill compatible": they are not plain Hollywood propaganda, and, usually subtly, try to give a hint about the true dynamics between the sexes. You won't lose your time watching them, and might get a new insight or two.
Here's a list with a non-spoiler small comment for each.
Gone With The Wind: Scarlet and Ret are only two of the characters, but they are the protagonists. Any feminist that is proud of her identity would scoff throughout the movie due to the behaviors that are pictured as typical of the sexes in it.
Passengers: A rare case of a Hollywood film that makes even a small dent in the feminist rhetoric. Still gynocentric, as any modern movie, but seeing it you can understand why feminists got livid about it. Nice action movie, too.
Paddington: a sitcom-like movie that shows some appreciation for men? Not making them seem like the utter dumbass? Also, very funny. Worth seeing. Paddington 2 is, predictably, less interesting.
The Truman Show: You've probably all seen this. Great comedy, and a great allegory about our controlled lives, preceding The Matrix.
Boyhood: A documentary-like movie, that took 10 years to film, outlining how fucked-up the marriage-divorce-chid-rearing realty has become in the US.
Rashomon: It's a 1950 movie, its black-and-white, it's in Japanese, but it's proably the most RP movie there is. About woman's nature. Feminists still can't swallow how such a recognized director as Kurosawa could be so "misogynist". (Hint: He wasn't, he was just able to see reality).
Stand by me: Celebrating friendship among boys.
Factotum: Life of author Charles Bukowski. Heavily Hollywood-ized, but still worth seeing.
Starship Troopers: The greatest parody of the naive stereotypical masculinity ever. Buries male self-sacrifice to the ground. A work of art.
The Hunt: Perils of the modern man. 2012 movie. Probably couldn't be made today, only 7 years later.
A man's job: Another male-centered narrative from Denmark. Man is forced to prostitute himself in order to support his family. How will the wife take it?
Lawn Dogs: A working-class youth becomes friends with an upper class 10yo girl. What happens next?
The Full Monty: A must.
Bruno: How dare he make fun of any woman?
Pineapple express: Hilarious slapstick comedy that doesn't put pussy on the pedestal.
Full Metal Jacket: No, army won't make you a man.
The Coen Brothers: These guys have proven to be hard nuts to crack, for Hollywood. They can't seem to confine themselves in a politically correct narrative. They masterfully expose the ways in which the average man has an illusion of control over his life.
Monty Python: if we are talking about deconstructing the mainstream narrative, nothing is better than a Monty Python comedy. They stop at nothing, ruthlessly satirizing Beta expectations and the upper class fake-Alpha, even somehow managing to hint about the capacity of women to stone an Innocent man to death without anyone calling the sexist.
Judd Apatow: This guy knows how to write a dialogue that is clever while not seeming... written. He's a bit hit-and-miss regarding the sexual dynamics, but at least he does hit some. Reluctantly recommended.

Give the movie "Spread" with Ashton Kutcher a watch, great movie. You can learn and adopt some traits from that film. The ending is a bit eh, but the intro is what sold me when I was learning about RedPill.

If you can relate to the main character it will be a cringe fest....
ReUptheReUp 5y ago
I can't think of many, Swingers, Alfie, Hitch and Ghost of Girlfriend's Past come to mind, but at the end of each those films they all revert to beta. If we're talking a film focused on relationships between men and women then I don't think there are any 100% red pill movies. Even the ones you've listed, which I've only seen about half of, aren't what I'd call redpill. There are many movies that show the negative results of being beta, 500 Days of Summer for example, but pure redpill? Nah, never. At a stretch, maybe The Mack (1973), lol.
The most alpha / redpill show that is about today is definitely Animal Kingdom. I'm surprised it's been renewed for a fifth season. Give that a watch if you haven't.
SteroidsFreak 5y ago
You forgot the movie "Spread" with Ashton Kutcher as the main character. The intro to the movie is what makes him a true RedPill.

Acknowledging that the average married man sacrifices his "alphaness" trying to provide security to his family, and is not a complete worthless douchebag, is quite radical for the contemporary Western cultural production.

Congrats on convincing yourselves that passively consuming media is in any way Red Pill
adam-l Senior Endorsed 5y ago
Rejecting the bulk of the cultural production is, mostly, right.
Not very nuanced, but a critical starting point, nevertheless.
BurnoTaurus 5y ago
Ahh, you have struck deep into the heart of my most current iteration of being. Of course we have critiques of cultute, then you can undergo the task of placing a product within a cultural context and analyzing it. I definitely made that comment moreso for the person who can only make the distinction between "michael cera is a beta pussy" and "james bond seems alpha"
Theres a body public that very much wants only a shift in content without a shift in form. With the example being the man who can attest to having been bluepill, watching John Hughes movies etc. and knows he is now redpill because he started watching Jason Statham

Pineapple Express totally puts pussy on a pedestal. The guy calls her literally crying about the shit he got her into not wanting to lose her and worrying about her blowing buff college boys.
adam-l Senior Endorsed 5y ago
spoiler alert
Yes, he does. Depicting Beta behaviour doesn't mean endorsing it, though.
The moment that has stuck in my memory, and is why I included this movie, is exactly this phone call. He calls her crying "I love you!", and at some point she breaks down and says crying "I love you too! I want to marry you and have children with you!" In which the guy stop crying immediately, tells her "You know what, maybe it's a good idea to take some time..." or smthg like that, and promptly hungs up, relieved that he dodged the bullet... Hillarious, and a cool deconstruction of the BP ideals.

Gone Girl portrays a mentally ill woman. I don't think a healthy woman would stab herself in the pussy to cry rape
BloodSurgery 5y ago
Of course a normal woman wouldnt act to that extreme. Consider the moment she decides shes in love with the protagonist. He presented himself as this adventurous guy, outgoing, and so on. An alpha. Thats why she married him.
Then he let himself become complacent, she gets bored, and well, she decides to make it look like he killed her, as a revenge, for "faking" being this alpha guy.
She only comes back when he promises her he will become the Nick she fell in love with.
Then theres the other guy, Desi, the beta, he has oneitis, and gives her everything when she "chooses him". Boring, he asks her if shes bored, "im not gonna impose myself on you", afraid to show his real intentions (have sex) to her, she is repulsed when he kisses her, and so on.
You should focus on the dynamics of the characters rather than the whole "fake murder" thing, since im only scratching the surface.

The Double
Based on a Doestoyevsky book, so you know it's going to be good. Basically, a corporate drone in a company whom is a soyboy beta lad is surprised when one day, his doppleganger is employed in the job. This new employee is practically the exact opposite in character, he spins plates left and right, gets to become a favorite in every social circle at the company, and begins getting promotions within a few weeks.

American Psycho: "There are no girls with good personalities. A good personality consists of a chick with a little hard body, who will satisfy all sexual demands without being too slutty about things, and who essentially will keep her dumb fucking mouth shut."
Scarface: "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."
Falling Down: "I've passed the point of no return. Do you know what that is, Beth? That's the point in a journey where it's longer to go back to the beginning. It's like when those astronauts got in trouble. I don't know, somebody messed up, and they had to get them back to Earth. But they had passed the point of no return. They were on the other side of the moon and were out of contact for like hours. Everybody waited to see if a bunch of dead guys in a can would pop out the other side. Well, that's me. I'm on the other side of the moon now and everybody is going to have to wait until I pop out. Beth, did you know that in some South American countries it's legal to kill your wife if she insults you?"
In the Company of Men: "Never trust anything that can bleed for a week and not die."
Casino: "In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all."
Apocalypse Now: "We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
Fight Club: "Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave."
Disclosure: "Sexual harassment is not about sex. It is about power. She has it; you don't."
Wall Street: "The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you. "
The Matrix: "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

For whatever reasons, she finds herself locked in with a man, in a travel that will last a lifetime. She gets to either select to be a bitch about it, or make the best of the situation. It is a metaphor for marriage.
That aside, there are plenty of BP stereotypes, he being willing to risk his life for her, etc etc. But even mentioning the possibility of accepting to have a harmonious life with your man is a scandal, in today's climate.

So yes, there is a rule that says "no examples from fiction" and I'm getting reports from them. These aren't really examples though. I think this quote sums it up best:
Can we learn anything from the stories? Maybe, but we still have the rule because the circumstance are crafted for a specific outcome. That's not how the real world works. What we can learn from this list is the sort of stories that are acceptable and/or embraced by society at any given time. In some cases perhaps they are reviled too. Look at these as reflections on how people around you think, not how the world around you works. So I'll leave it up.
adam-l Senior Endorsed 5y ago
Yes, the rule is quite clear: we are interested in the cultural implications of the literary production. I've been wanting to write such a post for a while, but kept back because I suspected people would misunderstand it for "examples". In any case, this is a chance to make it clear.
Regarding movies: The mainstream narrative is feminist totalitarianism. Right now, almost all mainstream movies are keen on pushing that narrative down our throats. Deviations, depictions of alternative viewpoints are only used to discredit and redicule them. That's why, today, movies that present even a small dent in the mainstream narrative, e.g. American Beauty, are useful. Even a small dissenting voice can play a huge impact in uncovering the propaganda.

I just finished watching Legends of the fall for like the 10th time. First time after being red pilled tho. I like it now even more. The character played by Brad Pitt is the apex of the alpha male. And there is also an alpha widow. Even some of the dialogues are quite red pilled too. The plot looks like a soap opera but I fucking love this movie.
Edit: fight club is redpilled as fuck.

Hollywood movies are extremely gay and literally made in collaboration with the CIA to socially engineer the population.

Gnosiis_ 5y ago
I actually watched Starship Troopers for the first time just the other day on Sci-fi and coincidentally was thinking how redpilled the movie was compared to more recent ones.
There's also a show on Netflix called Money Heist that proves a lot of redpill concepts as well.
TugaLusitano 5y ago
What concepts? I've watched until half of season 2 and didn't realized of any
Olram_Sacul 5y ago

adam-l Senior Endorsed 5y ago
Sorry to be the one to break it to you, friend, but if you saw Starship Troopers as anything but a satire, you were trolled.
Gnosiis_ 5y ago
I did think the movie was kinda wacky, especially Neil Patrick Harris and the rest of the "Nazis" but I'm specifically talking about the interactions between the main character and his girls, Denise Richards switching up on him, him not having oneitis with her but getting the other girl, being a leader, him becoming a Lt.etc. It seemed to me like he was pretty redpill. You can still find insight in a movie that was intended as a joke.

Alfie, In The Company Of Men, Daddy's Home, The Tao Of Steve.
Interestingly, romantic movie The Best Of Me alternates between red pill and blue pill ideas every few moments, so most people watching it would probably just come away with their prejudices reinforced.

Matrix' not red pill at all. The only red pill guy there is that black guy in the beginning of Reloaded. Who's red pill there? All they do is sit inside virtual reality, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Neo has oneitis for Trinity, Morpheus has oneitis but we aren't exactly sure, Oracle or Neo? There was that girl who fucked Morpheus but as he went nuts about "the One", she dumped his sorry ass.
The only red pill character in the Matrix is Cypher. Just think about it.

I was BP when I saw it, and those things didn't strike me as off. You are probably right.
The one thing The Matrix is good for, is the metaphor about seeing reality for what it is vs being "plugged in".

Matrix is based on an idea, which was also analyzed by numerous philosophers before.
I say TRP but I mean “THE reality”. Sexual strategy is just one of its pillars.

Where did the terms red pill and blue pill come from?

Two guys behind that movie chopped their dicks off. Literally. Matrix is NOT a "red pill movie" by itself and if you disagree, I hope you'll dream Wachowski sisters (pre-op) coming to your bed and raping your ass tonight.
