I've not seen it -- where does it bash Bush?
What Bush bashing? First I heard this.
You hav sum 'splainng to do, Lucy.

What's funny: A republican friend of mine loved the movie because she saw it as bashing hippies.
I went to see The Village last Wednesday....WHAT A MISTAKE! VERY politicial undertones! The jest of the movie was....BUSH LIED! I'm not kidding you!
I just read in the paper that there 4 more Bush-bashing movies will be released before the election.
May not go $100 million domestic? It was at $69 million as of Thursday night, and your numbers are forecasting it to be at $86 million by Sunday. And it only came out 7/30.
You may want to request that this thread be pulled or edited by a moderator. The headline is misleading and inaccurate.
All I got out of the film was the idea that no matter how you run from it, you still have to deal with human nature or good and evil.
This movie was about a bunch of wimpy people when confronted with evil ran (sounds like a bunch of hippies to me). They created what they thought was a paradise and in the end were once again confronted with the same evil they ran from because people were involved. Absolutely nothing that could be connected with Bush that I could see and I went looking.
You must not follow Box Office grosses much. "The Village" as of Thursday had already done $70 Million. There is no doubt it will do $100 Million Plus here in the U.S. and at least another $200 to $300 Million worldwide and that doesn't count video and DVD. This picture will be very profitable.
I've seen the movie and I enjoyed it. There was nothing partisan in it. It is just a movie.
but the more i have thought about it, the more i think that the bush bashing was the whole point of the movie and was done VERY POORLY...an infantile treatment of a much more complex problem. i have actually felt, looking back, that it was stupid.
if it hadn't been bush-bashing and night had focused on a REAL theme, it could have been a really good movie. as is, very amateurish.
I saw the film the day it opened. In no manner did it "Bash Bush". The main characters are not a religious conservatives, mean-spirited control freaks, CEO's or any of the various elite liberals enjoy labeling conservatives. It's best not to judge the film until one sees it. It's reminicent of an Alfred Hitchcock film - including a brief sighting of the writer/director himself. I found it a fascinating, film and well-worth the ticket price.
Odd link, a stupid vanity post, and you're nuts about this film bashing Bush.
No Bush bashing. Just a bunch of Luddites with *zero* common sense.
