Crap these people must be super observant or watching this thing several times. The only message that I came out of that scene with the Architect was that there were TWO Matrices. One that has the 'real world' with the AI's and one that Neo and crew lived in.

Guess I was just listening to the words.

Guess what movie I won't be going to see.......

I for some reason had trouble posting this article. I was editing it and it somehow posted. I apologize to all as the format and pictures blurped in an odd glitch.

Free Republic is mentioned, and if the links do not work in the article...

Wasn't going to see it anyway.

They did a similar thing I believe in Men in Black (is that the one?) where they talk about how extraterrestrials have infiltrated our society and display a pic of Newt on the screen. That one was funny to me and wasn't offended. This one, if true, is a different matter.

Anyone who has doubts about the producers' politics need look no further than the cast, which includes radical Prof. Cornell West as "Councillor West."

I was going to see this flick, but if this is true, I will not. I suppose they were trying to be subtle in their Bush-hatred, because if this was known prior to release, they probably wouldn't be taking in half of what they are.
The socialist liberals are always on the march, always at war with good.

My family and I are probably the ONLY American's that did not go to see this movie. I don't get the hype. No, interest to pay 8 bucks for the garbage movies nowadays and rarely I may pay 3 bucks on pay per view for the rare good movies.

I hope folks don't go waste their money to see this film 'just to see' what this article is talking about.

Now I may understand a strange comment Leno made last night or the other night...can't remember. It was a veiled comment about this, I think.

[alloysteel]

The Liberal-Lefties have seized upon the juxaposition of the Bush Administration and the Nazi regime, and have tried to superimpose their interpretation upon the consciousness of the rest of the world. This is a most curious development, as a study of the actions and objectives of the Hollywood crowd more nearly resemble the tactics of the German Workingman's Party (the 'National Socialists') during the 1920's, capitalizing on economic collapse and unresolved conflict to win political power. Then it was the "Jews", today it is the "Christian fundamentalists".

You notice it even on talk show call-ins, where the Bush Administration is referred to as a "regime". Nazis had a regime. Saddam Hussein had a regime. Even the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" had a regime. But the Bush Administration discharges the duties of the office according to established legal means, under Constitutional guidance. That is not the definition of a "regime".

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard from a friend that the whole sequence with Bush's photo also showed FDR and JFK and it was more of a comment on War in general not specifically singling out Bush to compare him with Hitler.

I'll still go see the movie. I'd like to see for myself in what context they showed the photos.

[ClearCase_guy]

The movie isn't great, but it isn't terrible, IMO. Yes, Bush is shown (in about a .5 second cut) while Evil is mentioned. It's pretty subtle and I think more of an "inside joke" for the producer and his friends. I don't see how it would influence the unconscious of any movie-goer.

On the other hand, the Hitler mini-series was far more blatant is saying that Hitler came to power in a War against Terrorism which allowed him to disembowel the Constitution and trample on people's civil rights. Very inaccurate -- and unquestionably aimed at George W. Bush. The Matrix was mild indeed compared to this.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I would not pay eight bucks to see for myself or otherwise.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I did not watch the mini-series either. Anyone I talked to said thwey weren't for various reasons, mostly because of bad press the series got, it was not a blockbuster must see.

[God luvs America]

Inside joke or not....they better be ready to be held responsible and take the consequences if this is true.

I heard this morning that when the Dixie Chicks sang at the Country Music Awards last night they were booed! Good!

[over3Owithabrain]

They are both bullshit and undeserving of my support. This Bush-is-Hitler crap is about the most inane, unintellectual, dishonest tripe I've ever seen. And it's everywhere, you can't debate with a liberal acquaintance for more than 1 minute without the Nazi card being pulled out. Who is it that hates Jews today, who discard the undesirable, who wants to control the world through lies and propoganda? Two groups come to mind: Islamo-fascists and the Left.

[Liberal Classic]

There were some other pictures shown at the same time, who were they? I saw Bush and Hitler, but the scene went so fast I couldn't identify any other faces flashed on the television screens. They may have been wanting make a point but maybe not. I guess I'll have to wait to see it on DVD so I can freeze the frame and see who else in on the screens. I probably wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't read about it here.

GOOD vs EVIL ?

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

The Hitler mini-series and comparison to Bush and many Hollywood comments calling Bush hitler-like, has me possibly thinking there is something to this Bush picture flash in this Matrix movie.
