Just a quick film review here. Ideologically, it is

1) Freud's wet dream (not-based)
2) a schizophrenic's wet dream (based? I'm unsure)
3) generally has very patriarchal gender politics (not-based)
4) anti-private interet in government (based)
5) a fusion of 'cold-war' and 'war on terror' versions of America (for me, quite complicated to pick apart)

all's to say, it's a lot. Denzel is the goat and I hope he's okay, he's certainly been falling off the wagon publically in the Gladiator II interviews lately (I'm not sure if I think this is a good thing or not).
