Another propaganda film from Spielberg

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2012)

Together with some decent blockbusters, Spielberg has spent a portion of his career making propaganda films. That's fine, of course. He has a right to his opinion and he has the muscle and talent to express this opinion through movies.
This particular movie is simply boring. It has other faults but there is no way around its lack of depth and capacity to engage.
Historically, it is a mess. United States was the penultimate slaver country to abolish slavery (Brazil was the last one). Worry not, my dear fellow American, I believe Spielberg told us through another of his propaganda movies that slavery is to be blamed on Spain.
The bottom line is that Spielberg is a republican and this one movie is meant to satisfy that particular itch.
