re: movies you love but are disgusted by the politics or agenda

I think I can quit the internet because I'll never find anything more stupid than "obama isn't really liberal" or "religious people want laws to control homosexuals".

That's bullshite - the overwhelming majority of people just want them to STFU and leave us alone.

She didn't champion it, she presented it as it happened. She got shite from some of the leftists for not having someone come out and condemn the agent leading the investigation. They didn't insert a scene where Chastain had a big monologue about how terrible it was.
This is where I tend to have a problem with Hollywood. If they had that in the movie, I'd probably not care. But, it wasn't in the movie and Bigelow portrayed it straight down the middle, yet Hollywood has to tell her how to write her movie?

That's where I get redass.

You do realize that it only takes a couple of loud mouths to complain, and all of a sudden people accuse "Hollywood" of criticizing Bigelow. I know some people on the board won't believe it, but "Hollywood" isn't that monolithic in its political thought.

I like the subject of Rendition, but the agenda still kills it for me. I can deal with hinting at a liberal agenda, but when it interferes with the story it's frustrating.

In that movie, they should have painted the sympathetic portrait, then done something at the end to make it unclear as to whether he's really a terrorist. Because that is certainly more accurate.
