In fact, IMHO, the two worst or at least weakest scenes in the movie are George directing himself as he addresses FDR at the movie's beginning and end.<br /><br />Overall, I think it is a good movie, worth seeing. There's even one scene where Matt Damon's character takes a stand for marital fidelity in the face of temptation. Something you seldom see in most modern films.Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-5604191884984437242015-03-24T13:13:50.770-04:002015-03-24T13:13:50.770-04:00Heil Khomeini!Heil Khomeini!Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-85002916281322282152015-03-24T08:03:30.850-04:002015-03-24T08:03:30.850-04:00Watching the movie, seeing the Nazis destroy works...<i>Watching the movie, seeing the Nazis destroy works of art that they did <br />not deem worthy, made me think of ISIS with their total disregard for <br />the historical treasures they destroy, because they find them contrary <br />to their religious beliefs. There are a number of parallels between the <br />Nazis and ISIS in their blatant disregard for human life, killing men, <br />women and children for their ideological ends.

To your point though, your observation about the Left's descriptive of America as an empire is one that I agree with.
