I'm not at home here and made a rare visit because I was interested to see if there was a thread on this film. I've seen it. I know from the tri forum that you read the NYT. I read the NYT review and the opinion pieces on the film (including Douthat's) before and after seeing the film and I think they do a good job of describing the content. This snip from the WSJ review describes it well: "This supposed cautionary tale isn't really about American divides at all. It's about the psychology of journalists, specifically the transnational band of roving war reporters and photographers..."The film didn't make me angry. It made me sad. I'm certainly not a fan of film violence but it was worth my $ and time.
