This movie was recommended highly by Debbie Schlussel. She is a conservative movie reviewer, which is somewhat rare. She is also a Jewish conservative, which is an even more rare combination.

She has criticized the director for not supporting Israel as it defends itself against Muslim terrorists, today's Nazis. She says Hollywood loves the dead Jews, but not the living ones. She interviewed the director, who is Jewish, but could not get him to say anything positive about Jews defending themselves today. We could also use a movie about the Warsaw uprising by Jews.

The Nazis, German socialists, were strong practitioners of gun control. It sure helped them to deal with their “Jewish problem,” gypsy problem, homosexual problem, handicap problem, Slavic problem, and any other “problems” that they dealt with by murdering about 20 million people (excludes deaths of soldiers in battle). Debbie Schlussel opposes gun control and links it to the German Jewish holocaust. I think it's a valid, and insufficiently commented upon, observation. Our founders sensibly linked gun rights to resitance to tyranny, even without the benefit of such examples as Hitler and Stalin.

I just saw Grand Torino and enjoyed it. But as Schussel noted, he insulted just about every ethnic group, but not the Muslims. I think he did give a good look at the Muslim woman (nurse?) at the Doctor's office.

We could also use a movie about Joseph Stalin's Ukrainian holocaust (5 to 10 million murdered). It could include Walter Duranty, head of the New York Times Moscow bureau, successfully denying the holocaust. The US press knew what was going on and rewarded Duranty and the Times with a Pulitzer prize.

I would also like to see a movie covering the time between our troops (except for embassy staff) departing Vietnam, and the fall of Vietnam, some two years later. It could show the post-Watergate Congress reneging on all obligations to South Vietnam, the communists preparing to resume the war, and the ultimate collapse. It may not be too late to do this again - in Iraq.

Books that would make excellent movies (but won't) include Witness by Whittaker Chambers, and State of Fear my Michael Crichton.

Political correctness reigns in Hollywood.

I just finished re-reading Whittaker Chamber’s book, Witness. Wow! Now that would make a fascinating movie! Perhaps the most significant book ever written regarding the struggle of good versus evil from a man who came over to the light from the side of darkness and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
