A film by George Soros? Could have been..

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2007)

Maybe I'm unaware of something. Has the twenty-second amendment been repealed? Can George Bush run for a third term? You might think so after watching "children of men". This movie is a part of the non-stop assault on the Bush administration by the Hollywood wing of the Democratic Party. Within a few minutes we hear the words "patriot act" mentioned. Pretty odd for story set twenty years in the future. By the time we're fifteen minutes into the movie the jabs are direct with no pretense of subtlety. It's the story of a man who lives in a society that is controlled by people whose characters could have been created by the Democratic National Committee. No Democratic talking point was missed. I have never seen such shameless propaganda. Even without the political preaching I'm not sure this would be a good movie. The clichés are non-stop. Clearly the intend audience is overage hippies and children of them. A conservative watching this movie will need a barf bag close by.
As others have mentioned, the high rating also astounded me. Usually movies rated this high have a targeted audiences like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. This movie is NOT an eight. I guess there are more of those old pot-smoking geezers out there than I thought.
