The Gilligan Manifesto

About this movie

During the Cold War, Gilligan’s Island depicted Americans in an analogue of a post-apocalyptic world where survivors must rebuild civilization. Remarkably, they create a communist paradise. This was intentional, and the series was conceived as propaganda.

Ratings and reviews

Really? This is about the dumbest thing I have seen. Gilligans Island was one of the kindest, most gentle, humble, and enchanting shows ever created. It is timeless and will continue to be cherished for its simplicity for generations to come. This film attempted to twist things in order to fit their narrative. It was nice to see some of the (at the time) surviving castaways give their thoughts. As an "Art" film it is wonderful, as a "documentary with a theory" it is not good. Not at all. Nope. Kinda sucked. Time stolen from my life. I feel like the producer of this film owes me a sandwich or something.

I can't believe that people would twist things around so much. It was a TV show about optimism,hope,friendship,empathy And learning to Love our fellow man . I think that this is disappointing.
