“Reiner made his directorial film debut with heavy metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984). He then earned acclaim directing the romantic comedy The Sure Thing (1985), coming of age drama Stand by Me (1986), fantasy adventure The Princess Bride (1987), romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally... (1989), psychological horror-thriller Misery (1990), military courtroom drama A Few Good Men (1992) which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and romantic comedy-drama The American President (1995). He has earned nominations for four Golden Globe Awards for Best Director, and for three Directors Guild of America Awards.”
And yet, despite all the critical acclaim, the awards, the back slapping and hand shaking from the tight circle of left wing ideologues, he’s still remembered by Middle America as ‘meat head’, the pseudo educated, brainwashed college student who mooched off his father-in-law while parroting meaningless and stupid left wing platitudes.
He was totally, completely and utterly wrong about America and its people 50 years ago, and he hasn’t grown in intelligence or attitude since.
He lives in a world of make believe because that’s what acting is, pretense. Pretense is also the primary method for the advancement of leftism. Liberal democrats would never have won elections if they had told the American who they really were and what policies they wanted to implement.
A case in point is the current administration. If Joe Biden had told the American people what he was going to do, he would not be in the White House now.
