Tom Hanks Sees US Election Warning in Thriller 'Inferno' By JILL LAWLESS, Oct 21, 2016
Embedded within the manic action of "Inferno," the latest big-screen adaptation of a Dan Brown thriller, is a warning about the dangers of seeking simple solutions to complex problems. Star Tom Hanks says it's a theme with echoes in the current U.S. presidential race.
"Inferno" sets Hank's polymathic professor Robert Langdon on the trail of a deadly plague concocted by billionaire scientist Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) out of a sort of warped humanitarianism: He plans to end war, poverty and famine by wiping out half the world's population.
Hanks says the belief that there's a "one-step answer to all problems" is alarmingly relevant.
"Down through history there's been an awful lot of people who say: Here's what the problem is, here's what it was caused by, and all you have to do is my suggestion, there's an easy way in order to make it go away," Hanks said.
"It's very simplistic, it's very reactionary. It's almost like a fundamental embracing of a brand of ignorance," he added. "But I think it's part of the political discourse."
Hanks clearly has the contest between Trump and Clinton in mind.
America, he says, needs "vision and leadership and scope, as opposed to one-stop shopping fixes all."

I’m hard-pressed to think of a more overrated actor than Tom Hanks.
Tom can go #### himself.
Get this. Just got an email from PAUL RYAN asking for money.
My Response:
Mr. Ryan,
you ####ed Trump and now you want money. Get the #### out of here :)
It’s a Movie Tom and its’ Not Real
...which he just happens to be in.
Well, kinda, thinking about Soros’ hand in it and all. But, libs are too stoopid to see the light even when it is shining in their eyes.
Tom, did you vote early and got your BJ from Madonna already? Your rotted brain is probably the result of some exotic STD she gave you. Enjoy your insanity—Capone did.
How would we ever survive without the help of the magnificent think tank full of thoughtful geniuses in Hollywood looking out for all of us poor ignorant working slobs who never acted a day in our life.
He was good in Sully. I’d stomach watching it because Clint and Sully are both GOP.
Way to go Tom!
That whole: “I will invest in America by eating the rich and I will do it for the children” crap is completely stupid!!
America needs detailed, thoughtful policy positions — you know: the kind Trump has documented.
Ironically, the Left thinks the solution to the world’s problems is by INCREASING the population as long as they remain, poor, stupid, angry and vote Democrat.
I’m glad to see more rich play-actors telling us worthless peasants how to vote.
This nitwit’s son stiles himself a hardcore gangsta raper. You might want to look into it for a laugh or two. He threatened to shoot Howard Stern...
So dp, what do you think of Paul Ryan?
Let me guess:
the evil mastermind of the movie has strange hair and an orange face, right..?
Tom Hanks ought to go hank himself.
So Hanks is in a movie where the bad guy is a George Soros clone.
Don’t like him :)
A few more replies like that and i’ll the SS at my door!
Though I think speaking your mind is still legal in the US.
Another Hollywood dipshit who has come out of the closet of late.
