Polls don’t have anything to do with it even if you do believe them. The “2/3″ of our citizens who don’t approve of the war ALSO don’t need Hollywood to lecture them about it. They know the issues, they’ve thought about them, and they’ve come to a conclusion. Dramatizing that conclusion doesn’t add any value to it. And if, in fact, 2/3 of Americans already agree with the filmmakers, that sort of gives the lie to any claim that these are important films that needed to be made. Unless your definition of an important film is one that reinforces its audience’s opinions, that is.
