All of what you say may be true, but Hollywood would never make a movie like this unless the intent was to undermine a conservative. All of the paranoid ranting about exaggerating the threat of terrorism in order to gain power is enough to keep me away. The intent is clearly to undermine faith in the administration and the war and reflects the adolescent paranoia that holds Hollywood in its grip.

That may have been their intent. However the movie undermines the establishment as a whole, not just Republicans or Democrats.

Does that mean you stay away from history books as well? It is a common occurrence in history for an insurgent group to overcome occupation or gain public sentiment by actions that some would consider 'terrorist'. I am not advocating terrorism however when viewed from the side of the occupying force, a lot of actions could be considered terrorism.

And again I would suggest watching the movie once it reaches cable or the rental stores. If that was their intent, they didn't achieve it.

You are right, sir, and pay no attention to those who but for fondess of the Wachowski's anti-authoritarian themes, which superficially track libertarianism, somehow find something good to say about this movie. I have seen it, and it is an evil movie, perhaps the worst I have ever seen in my life.

It is a foul, stinking heap of Satanic dung.

The movie is a celebration of slamming a plane into the Pentagon. Mohammed Atta could not be prouder. Oh, it wasn't a plane into the Pentagon, it was a subway car full of dynamite into Parliament. My bad. Wonderful, and quite apropos considering how real flesh and blood people were blown up on the London Underground within the past year or so.

The movie was so tasteless that the flagship review of the Village Voice said the movie was in terrible taste. Oy! What world do I live in where Freepers say the movie was "powerful" and the Voice says it was tasteless!

The movie was so unapologetically and incandescently evil it makes Faces of Death look like March of the Penguins. It makes Rosemary's Baby look like the The Love Bug. I hope the former Larry Wachowski's live in dominatrix beats him real good for making this steaming pile of celluloid crap.
