Somewhere on the long list of reasons Clint Eastwood made this movie is exactly your point. As Jim Williams (Kevin Spacey) said in Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, "It pisses off all the right people."
Leftists such as Michael Moore will rage on, and professors will judge the movie without seeing it
Because they know its powerful and totally wrecks their hate America agendas for a while...God forbid that the message of American Sniper be broadly embraced! Same thing happened prior to and during the run of the Passion.
They know they are exposed as wrinkled mishaped cretins in the face of these mighty truths.
The left has traveled a path toward insanity for decades.
By definition, they're closer than they used to be.
This is nothing new.
Actually, from what I’ve been reading, this movie is appealing to all segments of the population everywhere from NYC to Cornville, Nebraska, which proves that the most important thing to most people about a movie is that it brilliantly tells a compelling story that resonates with universal human values, regardless of what the story is about. That’s the REAL lesson that Hollywood should learn: people will pay to see GOOD movies.
At nearly seventy, this old man will likely not be attending a theater to view this movie ... I don’t prefer to break down in tears in public. May God help US, we are laying our collective necks bare to the most evil force on t he planet. And the people behind this destruction of America and American values will not be exposed even by such moving illustrations of their perfidy, because most Americans do not think deeply enough to see why Islamic evil is rising nearly unopposed in ways which will eradicate it.
The following might help a little bit. In today’s “Wall Street Journal”, an article describes the success of this movie is due to veterans and culturally conservative areas. For example, eight of the top ten markets were in the South or Midwest, representing smaller cities. In contrast, it did not do as well in Northeastern U.S. or Canada.
I hope that helps.
‘Finally, the movie gives America something it’s lacked since the start of the war...’
What really went on, all that the MSM consciously decided to withhold b/c it didn’t fit the liberal narrative.
There’s a screw loose in people who regard Kyle as a coward yet regard that Bergdahl guy, who abandoned his post, as a hero.
At the root of it all is a visceral hatred for our military.
That ought to be a message to Hollywood (although they’ll ignore it). You can have a blockbuster movie if you target the Heartland.
Isn’t that rather islamophobic?
Looking forward to seeing the movie.
Could this be the beginning of a reversal of the way the media and the campuses took away our victory on the ground in Viet Nam?
This movie is increasing the blowback they're going to get.
The last movie I went to at a theater was Eastwood’s “Trouble with the Curve”
The link gave a malicious redirection! Careful folks.....
THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW. Read at your own risk.
Please do. You won’t be disappointed.
I would daresay that the fact that they don't even threaten us means that they have made their decision.
The South? Three of the ten largest cities in the United States are in Texas!
