That's a great take on the movie. I guess I enjoyed it mostly for the warrior ethic it portrayed. It was similar to Brave Heart in that respect to me. Tom Cruise is one weird duck (and I'm sure a liberal) but he is a good actor.
TALLADEGA NIGHTS and GANGS OF NEW YORK attack Western civilization?
The author has little grasp of western civilization. The reason it's propsered throughout the ages is that its people are constantly re-examining and tossing out what is no longer of immediate or long term utility. That is to say, it isn't static and stuck in the 7th century.
I didn't say it was historically accurate, and I realize it wasn't, but I didn't find it particularly anti-Christian.
