Throw away you stereotypes, this story is universal

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2008)

I see that this movie elicits the stereotypical response from both right and left wing zealots: The right decry this as anti-Bush hate mongering and that force is requisite in desperate times, while the left hail this as the hare-bringer of truth, bringing to light, through metaphor, the inadequacies and injustices of the current government. All I have to say is...
Bullshit. This story is universal. Thomas Jefferson once said that "Dissent is the truest form of patriotism." I walked away from this movie with the understanding that lemming-ism is the most dangerous of illnesses that beset the world today. That is both on the right and left sides of the political spectrum.
This story is moving, beautiful and a message worth hearing. Set aside your notions of what this movie is supposed to mean to you. Instead, take the core message: That you are your own person. When you submit your individual thoughts and wills to the whims of the faceless masses, you kill that inch.
