Aren't you aware that Bush (and Cheney, whose memoir is due out Tuesday) needs absolutely no defense? If a person can initiate the breaking of a series of international laws (including the UN Convention Against Torture, which was signed by Ronald Reagan and which forbids exactly the tactics pursued under Bush), launching a war of aggression against a country that did not attack us (see Cheney's exit interview with Fox's Greta Van Susteren for his admission of this), that kills 100,000 civilians (not to mention nearly 5,000 American soldiers) and *still* not stand trial in a single court of law on this planet, you, my friend, with your barely visible conservative blog, need do no defending. Bush and his clan are the best-defended citizens on the earth. The mere idea that you're spending your time batting away at a little anti-Bush film, when people who should be tried in the Hague for crimes of war (not representation--real war) is pathetic.

I am a conservitive. The movie started out with hints of bashing Bush. I figured that was ok because Bush is not perfect so maybe the critisizim is ok. I was wrong. It painted christians as part of this insane fasist plot against the country. It took place in England but was clearly and cowardly about the U.S. It even attacked the Catholic church and smacked it in the plot of the wicked schemes of the government. I hung in still. The movie blurs so many lines with its so called hero. He is nothing more than a likable anarchist (looking for a vote next election is all hes lookin for). They went even as far as making the koran illigal...but the owner of this life risking book.."reads it for the poetry and stories". That was as much as I could take. We(My girl, my sister and I) took as much as we could. This type of film does nothing but stir hatred (on both sides). Luckily the right side's anger is just and with prayer it can be directed to good. The left is going to eat it up and the demon will grow. Seeds were planted my brothers and it will not be long before we see the rotten fruit.

I'm one that doesn't go to some movies because of certain actors in them, the message they convey, etc., but I thought this movie was good. There were a couple of off-handed references to Bush/Conservatives, but I looked at the movie as a battle of a "Freedom Fighter" battling against a Fascist/Totalitarian government. I went to the movie with somewhat of an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised. I would advise anyone to go check it out and make up your own mind. Do it at a matinee, so you won't lose too much money if I'm wrong. FWIW, I wouldn't have been mad about paying full-price for this movie. Semper Fi!

Curt,

The last one I saw was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It's difficult these days to watch anything, without wincing at what appear to be political overtones. I wanted to watch the last Star Wars movie as an escapist fantasy, but couldn't help but feel certain parallels to political commentary of current events. And usually, I think I'm pretty good at separating myself from real world politics and what I see in film. Thanks for blogging on this Curt.

I know it comes across as campy to just say "it's just a movie". I'm with you on this one, but, the bar on expectations out of Hollywood was set to 0.1 in the 90's. Movies are a waste of time, waste of money, and mostly a waste of tact and intelligence for those that can boast an IQ over 100 and possess the ability to process abstract thought. I can tell you in all honesty, the only movies I have spent money on at a theater in the past 5 years are all kid movies; mostly Disney or Pixar animated flicks that I took my kids to see for their benefit, not mine. Hollywood has the collective moral compass of a jackyl, and is completely void of an original idea. That's why we see such desperate and vain attempts to force this liberal propaganda down our throats. Only those that meet the criteria of lucent grey matter subscribers are going to realize this and save their money and time by not going to the movies and acquiring an ambivolent attitude toward show business and it's deplorable motis apperendi.
