A victim of social politics

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2014)

Orson Scott Card wrote Ender's Game before same sex marriage was even on the table as a hot button social issue. There are no political messages regarding this subject in the book, or in the movie.
The author is not preoccupied with forwarding an agenda. He simply made a few comments which amounted to him favoring traditional marriage, and suddenly he, every fan of his work, is labeled a bigot.
What does any of that have to do with Ender Wiggin, and his struggle to save mankind while maintaining his humanity? I grew up with the science fiction and fantasy books of Orson Scott Card. This movie is a dynamic and imaginative revisit to one of the happier memories of my childhood.
I'm not going to let social politics take this movie away from me. If you like Ender's Game, don't feel bullied by popular opinion into letting go of something you love.
