when viewing "art" in any form be it film, music or any of it's other applications based on my political or personal opinions. IMHO you miss out on too much in life if you limit your options...As you have probably surmised I'm a liberal politically,but, if I limit my acceptance of art to only those things which I agree with politically or morally I limit myself as an individual...For instance, I like Bob Hope...a life-long Republican. Do I agree with his politics..no. Do I think he was funny? ABSOLUTELY! But I respect your opinion even though I may disagree with you...I wasn't aware of Wagner being an anti-semite...but I've never been a fan of Wagner and his bombastic style music either...I'm a RavelTchaikovsky/Grieg/ kind of guy....
