The remake of "V" was filmed because its producers thought it would find an audience...do you think they care what the original film's target was?
This film is perfect for Obama!
And you call it silly?
Take some time and study art and its political impact. It is always about current issues (either intentionally or co-incidentally).
By the way, I have been educating folks on the eerie similarity of Obama and fascism since he won the election. All his actions of the last 9 months have borne out that assessment.
