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.
The phrase "A government should fear its people" keeps being held up as the 1 thing this movie presents as an allegedly conservative ideal.
But it's not just the words, it's the context. If people can see clear connections to conservatives causing all the fascist stuff, then the point is that it's conservatives who cause all the problems and is the "government" to be feared.
I find liberals parroting such platitudes really rich. These are the people who always insist on telling others what to do - by the myriad rules they make on enviro BS, safety nonsense (you must wear your helmet/belt or you'll pay big time!), worker's "rights", etc.
It is the LEFT who are the fascists, and I really don't like hearing from THEM that a gov should fear its people! What hypocrisy!
Thanks for the review.
