True, but back in the early days it was subtle while in the 80’s they became full blown anti-American billboards. Movies like China Syndrome which were made to destroy industries and promote the agenda have destroyed any enjoyment they once were.

Meanwhile back on tv the anointed liberal sages on MTP have mostly agreed that zero has everything under control with the sanctions that dnc Dave stated are starting to take hold.YOU just gotta wonder what alternative universe these a-holls live in.
Rich Lowry being shouted down by some black mayor who thinks zerocare is just wonderful with everyone paying 5 bucks per month due to the gov.t mandate that we pay for everyone’s health care. More zero care imploding the nations wealth sick people.

Absolutely correctomondo. Also, back in the glory days of Soviet Agitprop ala Hollywood there was a lot more wit in the films. Even the soft leftie stuff of the 1970s like Shampoo and Smile were genuinely funny.

Also, before the computerized special effects made it easy for filmmakers to wash over the idiotic plot-gaps in their conspiracy theories, it was vital that character development and dialogue (and acting) carry the argument.

A great example: Three Days of the Condor. A brilliant movie that follows from the idiotic notion that a CIA higher-up would wipe out an office full of colleagues in NYC and somehow almost get away with it—in the name of oil!
(And, gosh, this was BEFORE Haliburton.)

How can such a thing be so stupid and so brilliant all at once? Art and craft. And when you find a more compelling performance by an American actress than Faye Dunaway’s in Three Days of the Condor you’ll be the first person who ever did.
