A testament to an innocent time, a more Naive America

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2006)

Yep... i loved this film as a child, i was awestruck by its effects, yet when i watched it with my parents, i could never figure out why they would roll there eyes and laugh. So here i am, 10 years later, aware and awake in this delicate political time, still shocked in the reality that 9/11 actually happened, and understanding the humor they found in this film. Its pretty simple, it glorifies America in vulgar fashion, when America was an indestructible world power saving themselves from everything, the Cuban missile crisis, German invasion and now, even an Alien invasion..wow. though we won't mention the great tragedy that was the Vietnam war. Americans don't like losing, and don't like to admit it, they are a great country,and maybe in the wake of the last 6 years, they can admit that their country has problems. And that is why i think this film is so special, it reminds me of my childhood mindset, when America ruled the earth with an iron fist, and i wanted to move to LA to become an movie star.... a rock star, Those dreams have past.
