I like the article, and I liked the movie. Prepare for FReepers who haven’t seen the movie to trash it though.
Seeing it this weekend, with the wife. Hope it’s as good as I’ve been hearing, although I will be watching it for entertainment value only.
I don’t pay movie prices to be instructed, even in a conservative way. Story first. If the director manages to get a few good philosophical, theological, or political licks in, so much the better. But story first.
NOT a comics book fan... but I had to watch the movie (don’t ask how I got it ;)) after all of the controversy over it..
I’ve seen MANY people saying it is THE best move... I don’t necessarily agree (we each have our won taste), BUT, it made a very clear point to what will happen (or something very similar) in the very near future if people don’t start understanding tyrants as leaders.. (marxism/socialism.. leading to communism). We would not be the first to go there.. but, sadly, I feel that many Americans have NO CLUE that it has been tried, and failed every time (or that they may be the first ones executed).
I’ll leave it at that.. I usually get lost in all of what I want to say and it ends up more confusing than when I started to express my point :p
