ebert & roeper's review

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2006)

ebert and roeper said they couldn't understand what the movie was trying to criticize in our own society which i thought was pretty obvious.
the patriot act takes away many of our rights "for our own protection"-- in the movie they terrorized society with a virus which they used to scare the ppl into submission. bush and his cabinet listening in on ppls conversations and ordering online search engines to hand over our online searches.
also, even the news on TV in the movie was similar to the news we get in our homes every night: frightening. we get plenty of "tune in tonight to see violence, sex, or both" all the time. they do it to get ratings but it creates a terrified society. they did that with 911 and the terrorism, scare the ppl into submission. take advantage of their vulnerability.
