I do. Your political outlook will no doubt affect the way you see films or art of any kind.

Like if you don't see any problems with the profit system, and you think it should be every man for himself in a race to see who can get a billion dollars first. . . then you probably are going to dislike even something as simple as Mutiny On The Bounty. But you'll embrace garbage like The Fountainhead. See?

Like if you are Pro-Bush and Pro-War, chances are you're not going to like the Iranian films being made right now dealing with Afghanistan or the war.

The politics come into play. It's good to know. You know?

I mean, have you ever read those reviews on ultra-right wing websites devoted to protecting your children? It's pretty silly what they give negative reviews for.

I'm afraid I haven't seen it. However, I can say that I was a big big fan of Will Ferrell's work on Saturday Night Live, and I'll give anything with him in it a try.
