I'm sorry, weren't we talking about this new movie, and not about the novel? Are you an apologist for Spielberg and liberal Hollyweird anti-Americans? After all, they're the ones who want to see a societal collapse and sheer terror that would come about from electing a Democrat to the White House.

"One guy (out of all the people in the movie) wants to fight back against the evil Martians aith a gun, and they portray him as a madman and Cruise ends up killing the sap. Cruise's son wants to join up with some soldiers to fight back, and Cruise is desperately trying to convince him that's wrong."

Interesting twist on the book. Well interesting to see how the book gets twisted. The Mad guy was a former solider so that piece makes a little sense. The main character and he team up for a bit with thoughts of going back to the unit. I believe the main character declines because he's trying to find his family, but they end up hiding out together. The guy apparently does go a little crazy (as does hero, think about a worst room mate ever situation) and is being loud so I think the hero bops him on the head to get him to shut up. Thats where the movie and book part paths so Spielberg can inject some propaganda. I haven't watched the movie with no plans to, but on some level it's interesting how these idiots twist things to their agenda.

Spielberg is anti American? 'Saving Private Ryan' is anti American? BTW the military in the movie was played by actual members of the U.S. Military for whom Spielberg arranged a special screening and brought up on stage for an ovation at the end. And I'm an apologist for good art wherever I see it. If you want to limit what you see and hear to that produced by people who you agree with on every issue 100% then be my guest.
