I don’t mimic my cinematic taste from what the ‘world’ thinks. Besides, it’s a well regarded film by film buffs. Ebert’s reviews only became notoriously political in the last ten years or so. Before that he was fairly reliable even if you disagreed with him.
Just about the only people that agree with you is the left, of course they mostly didn’t bother to watch the movie either, they just like the agenda, and you were late spotting Ebert’s agenda if you only caught it since 2002.
