Message still resonates in 2011

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2011)

Superlative cast, superlative soundtrack. While this film is comedic, there is a serious underlying message that resonates today. Governments think that they can dictate what the people hear and enjoy. Well meaning government officials think that they have the should legislate what is is best for the people. One character offers,"Government hates people being free". So very true.
If people find music or speech offensive, they can choose not to listen. It is evil for government to legislate away our choices or the opportunity to hear it in the first place.
Hey, if you want to enjoy this film for the good acting, clever dialog, period costumes and brilliant comedy, that is cool also. Sometimes, humor is the best way to deliver a message.
