If it’s not a documentary or something trying to accurately replicate a real situation, I think movies are much better off slipping in politics as playful jabs rather than as blunt instruments for head smashing. The TV show South Park often bashes liberals but (mostly) as side stories, and Family Guy mocks Bush (and sometimes conservatives) from time to time, but usually as a throwaway gag not very connected, if at all, to the main storyline. That makes both shows watchable for most people not overly touchy about political issues. Movies would be likely better off doing stuff like that rather doing their usual preaching to the choir stuff.
