In Reply to: "The Village"...maybe the worst movie I've seen. Ever. posted by Jazz Inmate on August 02, 2004 at 15:14:55:

I saw it tonight because "The Blind Swordsman of Zatoichi" was playing too far away. I've seen all of Shyamalan's films and this one was about on par with "Signs", better than "Unbreakable" and not nearly as good as "6th Sense". I found it pretty entertaining but it reminded me mostly of a bigger budget "Blair Witch" with all the stilted dialogue, spooky music and rustling in the brush.
>But what I really disliked about the movie was its overt political message that our leaders create our enemies (which really don't exist) to control us and keep us living in fear. This "moral of the story" was communicated with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.>
Sorry but I didn't get your "overt political message" from this movie - I think you're reading too much into it. I did, however, get your political message/moral above from M. Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" - that our leaders use fear to keep us where they want us.
