Redford doesn't have alot of range as an actor but he was a great director for Quiz Show and Ordinary People. When he got political and started pushing it in our face I got sick of him. And that facelift is terrible. I'm not saying it to be cruel but that was a mistake Robert.
I enjoyed both 'Quiz Show' and 'Ordinary People'. American's fortunately are free to choose what ever movie they wish to view. I don't question another person's character by judging the movies he or her decides to watch.
As for me, a person's political activism often influences whether or not I'll support that artist by way of watching their films, or listen to their music, or whatever commercial endeavor they may be involved with.
