My cynical side says: "But isn't it choir preaching? With all that's gone down in the last two years and the staunchest of Bushies still clinging to their illusions, will a film like this really change anyone's mind? Anyone's mind that hasn't already been changed, I mean. And for those of us who agree - isn't it kind of like - yeah, ok. we know. we know.
My non-cynical side says hoorah! Yes, it will change minds! At least it might get some teens all rallied up! and if nothing else, it's nice to be reminded. That, and it's one of the most subversive "mainstream" movies to come out in a long time. Woohoo for that.
Either way, I must agree with C. og... We're getting too close to that world.

We all must try not to listen to our cynical sides... no matter how hard it gets or how right they are... =)
