I thought you were cute... I could tell by your posts...

If you think my judgement is blocked...then you are questioning my judgement...but that doesn't matter to me.

I wanted to see this film. I couldn't wait until it came out. When I saw all the coming attractions, etc., I realized that this movie was not what I thought it was going to be... I think that are rights and wrongs in this world. That not every thing is gray. Not everything is morally equivilent.

Now, I was wrong about My Dog Skip... I could be wrong about this...

WEll, no, I'm not questioning whether or not your judgement exists or is wrong, only suggesting...let me put it this way. Sometimes, in a mental phenomenon, we only see what we don't like, which doesn't make us wrong...good example: I used to watch Hannity and Colmes all the time. When Sean HAnnity would speak, and the conservative guest would speak, it would go right past me. But when Alan Colmes and whatever liberal guest they had spoke, my fists would clench, my blood would boil, my face would turn red. And after the show was over, all I could remember was what the liberals said. You see, we as humans are attracted to excitement, so we tend to only focus on things that make us angry, enraged, happy, sad...whatever makes our adrenaline work.



That not every thing is gray. Not everything is morally equivilent.

I don't disagree, but your suggestion is that the movie is pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli. That is not gray, that is black. If it presents both viewpoints, and says that one side is right but the other has good points to is, then it is gray. Unfortunately, I don't mind when a movie does this. Movies, like other true art, are supposed to make us think. The enemy never thinks he is wrong. If the villain has a moustache, black cape, and is pale, that is not a reflection of reality.
