I have had several liberal films thrust in front of my eyes throughout my high school and community college years. These films have been more than enough to make me despise the thoughtless, idiotic propaganda they spewed out in hopes I would consume, agree, and accept. (Michael Moore, do some research.) Needless to say, I am not a liberal, and too many of these movies have resulted in me seeking out something better and smarter from the far right.
The conservative persuasion is no better. The more right-wing films I have thrown in my face, the more annoyed I am of their narrow minded drivel and attempts to make certain wrongs look right. (Bill O'Reilly, take a chill pill.) Last night, I watched An American Carol, and some parts were deserving of laughs, but mostly my amusement came from watching my dad's reactions to the film as opposed to the film itself. Do they seriously believe in what they're saying?
Maybe my next screenplay will focus on those who do not find themselves fully persuaded by one side. There are a lot of them out there, and who is speaking for them? Or maybe I'll just make fun of both the left and right wingers. I think that might be more fun.
