Sorry for the Vanity, but my wife and I attended the movie National Treasure with another couple on Saturday evening and I think that everyone needs to go to this film. This film is very well made and a true family vilm that will get your kids (and yourself) excited about American History. It's been a long time since I left the theatre feeling good about the message of a movie.
I'm posting this fully expecting to get railed, but I think we can tell hollywood with our money that these are the kind of films that Americans want to see made. It's time for hollywood to inspire the values of this country, rather than trying to lower those values to meet some perverted agenda.
I have purchased 100 shares of Disney's stock and written them a very nice email. I encourage others to see this movie and let them know your thoughts as well.
I don't support the Hollywood left by seeing their movies.
Disney has a long way to go to gain back my trust.
Thanks much for the post; I was curious about this film to know if it was worth the bother to see it.
I don't pay to see that retard Nicholas Coppopa Cage.
In today's bizzare-o world, I can imagine a company the likes of Disney making a film to 'document' homosexuality amongst the founding fathers. /sarc
You should be checking to see if it is in fact historically accurate. Many years ago, Eisner hired a Commie who worked diligently to get anything historic or patriotic out of Disneyland. His first target was getting rid of the talking abraham Lincoln. I would doubt anything done under Eisner's regime.
It was a good film that had a good message and more of them do need to be made with positive messages.
Disney = homo agenda = hate-America = hate-Bush = nowhere I'll EVER spend money, d.
Feel better for feeding/stoking/helping The Enemy Within™, d?
It was historically accurate as to the plot of the film. Nothing more. It was just a pure adventure escapism movie I recommend it.
Your far off base here as nothing like that was in the picture.
The movie previews piqued my interest, but I was a bit wary of the whole freemasonry aspects of it.
I sort of feel the same way about Cage. Nearly every film I've seen of Cage, he is a whiney, 'poor me' character.
I like the films; I just can't take his whiney, 'poor me'.
Yeah, I saw it with my two kids this afternoon and it was very entertaining. It had enough history to raise some questions, but not so much that it seemed dry or cluttered by too much data.
To those who wont see it because it is from DEisnery, ah, come on and give it a shot; when things move our way we should patronize them. Think of it as DEisnery being sort of like PAvlov's dog and your giving them a treat for getting it right for once.
And, what the heck is a 'vanity'? I have seen it used a bit around here; is it simply a non'event oriented post?
You know, it's admirable that some of you boycott all hollywood movies made and acted in by lefties. But I submit that those people have god-given talents that they utilize in wonderful ways, and it's becoming more and more clear that America loves them for their acting and NOT their politics. All the money George Soros and Michael Moore threw at the election this year actually did more harm to the Dems than good.
If you enjoy movies, consider paying for movies with lefty actors instead of boycotting them. If everyone boycotted half the products and services in this economy because of political disagreements, we'd all be the lesser. Maybe saving your boycotts for more specific situations and issues would be more effective.
We just went and saw "The Incredibles" today. Excellent film. There were a ton of small kids there; I recommend it for the whole family.
It's a Disney/Pixar film. Actually the first Disney film I have patronized since "The Lion King."
Who knows? Maybe Disney has seen the light. Eisner isn't out yet, but I suspect he is losing control over the decisions. He has been a truly malign influence.
I rarely go to the movies; this was my first visit to a theater since "The Passion of the Christ."
Why, Don't you know the secret handshake?
