In terms of social issues, do you think that material in the movie is something for presidential debates (given this is about working class people with very little income)?
It definitely brings out the prolife message, but what of other social issues?
There are movies liberals are trying to release strategically about Iraq to damage conservative candidates in 2008, as an example.
I am not saying that, but if people see the movie, then it might be discussed by the presidential candidates in debate (which I would consider worthwhile, especially the prolife issues).
I know one of the candidates has seen this film and was extremely impressed both by the film quality as well as the message. He was already 100% pro-life but seeing the film even if you are pro-life is a moving event.
Social issues should always be considered in the debates the question is how. I am not sure the intent was to give the impression these were working class people with little income.
Jose (Eduardo) is a chef yes, but his family is not portrayed as poor. .
Nina was a waitress and poor from a broken family, but her issue with carrying the baby was more from her life being a mess than a poverty issue.
I do agree we need to honestly discuss how to improve the plight of our country’s poor, I am not sure this movie will be such a catalyst but if it is great!
