The left wing agenda

It's amazing how I was assaulted by the left wing agenda in this movie. I noticed it as I recall at first when it was mentioned by the FBI or CIA people to the President that they were tracking 10 terrorists that were in the DC area that had blown up 100 abortion clinics, gay and lesbian bars, and porno shops all over the USA.
Of course the movie like all other standard Hollywood liberal fare shows the evil USA government, corrupt President ( unless it's a democrat) , the terrible murdering machine of the FBI and CIA that tracks relentlessly and will murder in cold blood with silencers in public places any citizens "onto them".
In this case it's the left wing press that "saves the USA people from it's evil overlords who want to supply the USA general public and citizens with oil/gasoline ( err.. I mean kill pelicans, endangered wildlife and destroy the environment for money )" ....
Thank our lucky stars for that rebel press that speaks truth to power...gosh we'd all be dead without them by now...right...(errr well, we all are dead from gas prices now since 1`000 pelicans had to land on swamp grass instead of oil pipelines to take a birdy doo - thank you so much - I'm going to take an airboat/x that it uses gasoline/- err sorry- a paddle canoe into the swampland to view the brown pelican -my lifetime dream...)
Then I find out in the racism thread there's a whole no interracial love scene thing that was agreed to, that meant something to certain "communities" fighting some sort battle of skin colors...
Yes, it was wonderful left wing propaganda of the highest order.
Oh, yeah, all the evil people and murderers in the film are white males...because we know they're evil -- white males that is...

Good movie too, in spite of all that.

Ahhh..not filthy white males my friend, as am I. But filthy right-wingers like yourself!

there was a woman who was an evil person in this movie. and there were good white males. so not really that point.

I think you may be reading a bit too much into the movie. And Liberal Nazi is a bit of an oxymoron, truth be told.

It's a movie based on a John Grisham book. As much as I love his book's, he certainly leaves no questions about who he thinks are the good guys and bad guys of American politics.

I don't think it was concealed at all. It was clearly a liberal fantasy. So what?

[–] deviant-13 15 years ago

Exactly. Personally I would be bored to tears if all movies were portrayed from my own personal political view.

[–] deviant-13 15 years ago

Hm... Nixon... J Edgar Hoover... Bush... Shall I go on? The corruption and deceitful agenda in high places is at times as high as in the Hollywood portrayals, but then again this is after all just a movie. A very good one too.

----- Spoilers below -----

As far as the love scene go, it would simply not make any sense that a terrified Darby ended up in a romance shortly after her beloved boyfriend got blown to bits. In a movie that, although great, admittedly did have a few unlikely events, the absence of a love story between Darby and Gray felt very real. They became good friends, and that served the story well.

Boy, you need to put your "bong" down and come back to reality. Most movies made over the decades all have a left wing slant. That's a fact no one can deny. As to your reference re- immigration and that only 4,000 anchor babies were born last year, now you need to put down the "acid", because that number would probably only cover a one month period considering that an estimated 12 to 20 illegals are here. Do the math ! And anytime you have an influx of illegals from any country crime in the areas where they live most certainly goes up. Remember when Cuba many years ago sent us their unwanted citizens. It was called the Marialito boat lift. Crime ran rampant in Miami and other Florida cities for many years after they landed. So take my advice and get rid of all your mind altering drugs then maybe you can join us all into today's reality.

I would guess that most movies made over the decades have no political slant whatsoever (e.g., horror movies, comedies, romance). Maybe among movies with a political slant at all, it is more common a liberal one, but that isn't really what you said.

Gee, you noticed that, silicon? Yup, another lefty bunny-hugger fest, with evil Whit people out to trash the planet thrown in for bad measure.
And what is with Rogerts, anyway? She whispers 90% of her lines all through this tripe, with an annoying monotone. Every moment, I kept expecting her to start crying and ask for a hug. Who told this ditz she could act?
