Propaganda disguised as entertainment.

Rating: 3/10 (18 March 2006)

The only reason I am happy I saw this movie is because I like to keep on top of all the propaganda being put out by today's movie makers. If you enjoy political statements, someone trying to teach you about social issues, and Bush bashing, this is the movie for you. If not, don't waste your money.
Apparently the Britain that exists in this movie is a direct result of Bush's actions in Iraq and those actions resulted in the totalitarian regime portrayed, as well as the disintegration of the social structure in the United States. Throw in some gay bashing, Muslim hating, mistreatment of Blacks, Bush creating Avian flu to use as a biological weapon, and you have the gist of the movie. Short of actually saying, "Citizens of the US rise up and revolt", the implication is obvious. I am sure the movie was set in Great Britain to imply that the rest of the world better watch out as well.
I enjoyed the music and the fireworks, otherwise this rating would be a 1. I also thought Natalie Portman did a decent job with the part. The rest of the acting stunk.
