new cop movie The Other Guys with Will Ferrell is very liberal.. |
|
In many cop movies the bad guys are your average thugs but in this one the bad guys are a multinational corporation who is cooking the books just like Enron.
The movie also features a crooked investor trying to get money for this company. He is also a member of a conservative think tank who gives lectures glorifying capitalist excess.
The end credits of the movie even has facts about corporate bailouts, obscene CEO salaries, and bonuses.
Conservatives are already complaining about this movie.

5. Sounds to me like they should recut the trailers to highlight this. |
|
Because the ads I'm seeing now make it look like a typical low-brow Adam Sandler movie.

9. The Adam Sandler types are the ones they want to reach - |
|
How many people who could benefit from seeing a Micheal Moore flick are already turned off by the fact that it is a Micheal Moore flick.
The trick with reaching some more vulnerable people is not to preach, but to entertain; and perhaps they can carry at least the impressions out of the theater with them. That might be enough to make them pause the next time they're faced with having to decide between those sitting behind the curtains bloviating talking points to impress them and stark facts that are right in front of their eyes.
