...that, although the lefties will cheer and jeer, the public won't buy it?Alternatively, has there ever been a (major) movie where corporate executives are rendered as skilled, intelligent people who earn their high pay? Instead of comical/invidious cardboard cutouts?
Extending this argument: While many movies portray evil Germans, have the Stalinistas (who after all slaughtered up to ten times as many as the Nazis) been depicted as evil Russki geniuses?
What's the story here? I mean, you're in Hollywood...
