V
Blue Kitty:
I just want to say that I rather enjoyed it, though I did expect more action in it from seeing the preview. The action that was in it was awesome though. I did notice the themes that people are talking about but really it did not seem to ruin the movie what so ever.
edscoble:

Kai:
What a nerd.
I saw it Friday. It was pretty f'ing awesome. Go see it. I'm porbably going to see if I can pick up the comics whenever I get paid next, so yeah.
And people who over-analyze movies really need to shut up. Especially since the ones that are the most over analyzed are the ones that the writer/director really just made up as they went.

--- Quote from: Leonidas ---There are parallels with Hitler in terms of the rallies, the symbolism, the hatred of "inferior" peoples, and obviously the concentration camps. However, when you are dealing with the manipulation of the public through the media, the use of fear as a political tool, and the corruption at the highest level of government in order to gain more and more power, then the parralels are very much with Bush and Bliar.
--- End quote ---
Kinda beat me too it. The Hitleresq things done in the movie(I havent read the book), were just things that happened, backstory if you will.
The gradual losses of small liberties, the 'for your safety' aspect of civilian watchers(Fingers?) and curfews. The use of popular media to spout hidden propaganda, by using the BTNs integrity as a venue to make it happen as opposed. The things that actually happened in the movie are much more Bush or Blair.
With the idea the war and fear of terrorism worked so well once. That it is the defacto method of getting the people behind the Grand Chancellor when the independant thought alarm goes off. Being a pretty good example.
Mnementh:
It's really just human nature. Human beings, as societies, are generally willing to accept losses of civil liberties in exchange for more security. It is mob mentallity that savvy leaders seeking more power have always played.
