Hollywood's contemptuous view of "Flyover Country"

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2006)

THIS won Best Picture?!!! THIS film is in the top 250 films on IMDb?!! Has everyone gone insane? I saw it for the first time on cable last night and was thoroughly unimpressed. This film was predictable and boring. Yes, predictable. Anyone who follows politics or popular culture these days can predict how a film character will be portrayed by politically-correct writers, and this film is no exception.
Of course, you can see the upside-down world view of Hollywood depicted here: the most notable to me--since I served with the Marines--was the cartoonish depiction of the retired Marine colonel. He keeps a tight reign on his family, orders pop urine tests, and collects Nazi china. Get the joke folks--the military guy sympathizes with Nazis. (insert laugh track) His wife is a non-entity--a statue. Then naturally the kicker----that he's also a closeted homosexual. The depravity shown is not in the brave men who served for this nation, but of the twisted writer who wrote this rubbish.
And of course, the most normal and happy people on the block were--you guessed it---the homosexual couple. Yay!!! You too could be happy if you were gay!!! What a bloody joke!
I did say above that the script was predictable, and I was right. I just read that the "writer" of this film is "outspokenly gay". Yeahhhh, I think I figured that one out on my own.
As a side note, I heard some yahoo say that she only went to this film because there was a girl lying on a bed of roses and apparently was expecting something different. Uhh huh---this is the same type of mouth-breather who voted this in the top 33.
Thank God I never paid to see this propaganda.
