we're all human...I just think Hollywood, thru it's portrayals and lies, have done a disservice to those who sacrifice so much for us...
I just happen to feel that they deserve our admiration, as well as the trappings that spoiled, anti-American Hollyweird celebs enjoy...and athletes. To disparage them in any way is insulting. Yes, they are human. But they deserve our utmost respect

Do you mean the "movies" are conservative, or the Directors/producers? Either case they both have a lib bias.
Case in point, "Dances With Wolves". Good flick, but it plays to the White Man is evil, Native American are the good guys. "Titanic". Good flick, but it plays on class warfare.

I meant the films. Don't know or care about the artists' politics. You can find little things like what you mentioned in just about everything from Dickens novels to sitcoms. Class warfare was a staple of every other movie made in 1930s. Frank Carpa movies were liberal? :-) And since Titanic was set in 1912 England (or in the shadow of it anyway) class tension is a valid subtext. Moreso then it would be today anyway. 'Dances With Wolves' was inevitable after several decades of Indian shoot-em-ups. It appealed to such a wide audience that obviously conservatives liked it for the most part.

Art is all lies! :-) If you were to look at portrayals of soldiers as individuals I think most portryals are positive. What tends to be negative is the portait of war as a concept. It's treated at the very least as a tragedy. Artists tend to be anti-war and have been for centuries.
