Ditto. Saw it the day it opened, had heard there was Bush-bashing, saw none.
Good film, too. Gosh, these sour old prunes who get their kicks knocking everything... must be a real drag to see movies with.
Its dialogue and relationships felt very genuine, the acting was top-notch, had plenty of suspense, atmosphere, a few jumps. Beautiful, artful music and camera-work. The "surprises" (actually, there were several) were fine, though nothing can rival Sixth Sense.
And it's a movie where a major character actually RESISTS and TURNS AWAY FROM a tempting opportunity at sexual immorality. How often does THAT happen in a movie? Don't we gripe and moan that all major characters have the morals of dogs in heat? Not in The Village.
Conservatives should be praising a lot about this flick, not looking for reasons to show what superior and disdainful jerks they can be.
One man's opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Dan,
You are exactly correct.
I could not have put it any better.
