Herb, you wrote, “Haven’t you guys heard of the phrase ‘It’s only a movie’?” as if this was just some yarn and didn’t have an overt political message. That’s why I asked how you can be so obtuse.
I don’t necessarily care if the film has a liberal political message. Heck, some of my favorite films do (mostly those from the 1970s).
It’s the lazy, obvious and all too common political message that’s been coming out of Hollywood for years now that we’re complaining about.
There is a huge difference between a good story with a political message and a film with a political message that’s so cliched it loses any goodwill the film’s story may have had. It’s the preachiness, overt or subtle, that we are so damned tired of.
