"...'Syriana' (big oil, CIA - villians), 'Good Night and Good Luck' (anti-McCarthy), 'Brokeback Mountain' (homosexuality), 'Walk the Line" (drugs, infidelity), 'Constant Gardener' (big business drug company villian), 'Glory Road' (anti-racism), etc."There are gay conservatives, conservative drug adicts conservatives that ar actually anti-racism and conservatives who cheat on their spouses.
"Are the liberals just more creative?"
Well creative people tend to be more liberal so in effect yes."Or is it just a backlash against the current government?"
Syriana certainly is. Ditto Constant Gardner. Walk the line? C'mon. Redneck Bush lovers dig Johnny Cash. that was hardly a "back lash against the government" movie.
"Where are all the right-wing films"
You can find a steady stream of them from Utah and other similar sources. You have to seek them out because they are generally sooooo bad they simply cannot be marketed outside of their niche." ('Passion of the Christ' is all I can recall recently)?"
How was that a conservative movie? Jesus was an anti etablishment rebel. I am always amused when consrvaties embrass this character. Were he real and around today the same people who flocked to see The Pasion would hate the man.
