Steven Spielberg documents that few if any U.S. officials . . .

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2015)

. . . actually believe that they should uphold the American Constitution in practice (if even in theory). Spielberg proves many if not most American law enforcement and military officers, prosecutors, judges, and lawmakers perjure themselves when they take their oaths of office to live at U.S. taxpayer expense. Crooked FBI and CIA agents, prosecutors, judges, and cops abound in Spielberg's BRIDGE OF SPIES. All of them apparently had their fingers crossed behind their backs when they were sworn into their offices, thinking that they will "uphold the Constitiution" only when it's convenient and profitable to themselves to do so, treating it like toilet paper whenever it conflicts with their personal agendas, profit motives, idiosyncratic belief structures, or if they feel a sudden urge to enjoy an "opposite day" at the Constitution's expense (not unlike most of the officials depicted in the current release, BLACK MASS). I say, cut the hypocrisy now! Things have gotten much worse in America since 1957, when the BRIDGE OF SPIES story begins. Let President Obama make it official, and tear up that ratty old parchment signed by James Madison & Co. on a live national TV broadcast. Follow up this PURGE-with-a-purpose by letting the Walton Family, whose Wal-Mart Co. just had a really bad week, dash off a New Constitution everyone can believe in, as a gesture which says, "Thanks for all the fish!"
