I honestly would avoid it like the plague. Maybe I was just having a sensitive evening, or whatever, but honestly it was the only movie that I have ever walked out of for "moral" or "worldview" reasons.
And I'm by no means conservative in that area. Well, conservative like this board is. I mean, I loved Pulp Fiction. I've seen it thirteen times or more, and I think the dialogue is brilliant. I never participate in movie discussions because I don't want to "break rank" and hear how I'm more unregenerate than an Armianian.
But aside from that... I don't know. It was just an exaltation of everything that burdens my mind. The glorification of homosexuality, how the government is eradicating homosexuality and Islam and anyone who disagrees with any of them. Christianity is the only thing that gets a bad rap in the movie; it doesn't once portray it in a positive light. The "motto" of the government is something like "Peace through Unity, Unity through Faith" and I believe there's a cross @ the bottom of the logo.
It was anti-government (in general, it seems; I personally think anarchy is ludicrous, and is usually espoused by weak people who could never survive if the physicall strong and poor were allowed to treat the little poor suburbans any way they wanted...), anti-Christianity, anti-morality...
I thought so. Maybe I'm just weird, or took too much acid back in the day. But I felt mentally raped, like I was receiving an enema courtesy of Hollywood. And it honestly may have been enough to convince me that I might just not go see movies anymore, outside of LOTR, Braveheart, or Narnia "type" movies.
Just my two cents.
