All I got out of the film was the idea that no matter how you run from it, you still have to deal with human nature or good and evil.
This movie was about a bunch of wimpy people when confronted with evil ran (sounds like a bunch of hippies to me). They created what they thought was a paradise and in the end were once again confronted with the same evil they ran from because people were involved. Absolutely nothing that could be connected with Bush that I could see and I went looking.
Wherever there are humans, there is human nature. You can't run from that.
Good take.
You are correct ..this is a non Bush Bash film ..(one of only a handfull this year)

I agree 100%. I saw the movie and enjoyed it, actually.
The village, at least for me, is an icon of isolationism. Like France building the magonit(sp?) line in the 30s against Hitler, it represents repression for those who built the wall.
Bush is an activist President who has made this country the home of the brave, not willing to be mealy dictated to by outside events, and in fact is willing to face great risk to change the status-quo.
If Bush was the little redhead in the movie, he would have said TEAR DOWN THIS WALL.
