controversy?

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2006)

This movie isn't just about Hitler or Bush. It wasn't made for the liberals, nor was it made to rile up the conservatives. It had a lot of familiar to us imagery, many questions that people raise even today, and many ideals that are still held today, but it wasn't made to conceal political propaganda! The main idea is not that the government is spreading the bird flu and testing on people, it's not that terrorists should use violence for their cause, it's not about the war in Iraq and the United States collapsing. Yes, I agree, anyone could point out the parallels, but getting THAT out of the movie is just SAD.
The entire message is that the government needs to represent its people, not the other way around. Good people shouldn't need to be afraid.
Anyway, I give it an 8 because the love story kind of annoyed me. It didn't seem real. And, although maybe that's how it was supposed to be, I don't like the extent of a very deliberate, scripted, and comic-book-surrealism.
