RE: I too read your rant and it was part of my motivation to see it...

"You previously likened the film to Nazi and Stalinist propaganda but you haven't described who or what is behind the the propaganda in the film and what is its purpose"

I didn't link anything to nothing. I just noted that propaganda movies even from such despicable regimes as Stalinist's Russia and Nazis were not void of artistic values, interesting plots or good acting despite underlying message. That's why they were so effective in influencing the masses.
I think its the weakest del Toro movie so far. Certainly far below usual Oscar level, but in current political/cultural climate I would not be surprised if it takes a bunch.
What is a secular relativism :?)
You operate on such sophisticated level verbally and can't decipher a rather simple movie Steve?
I'm sure you know all the answers and perfectly got all the angles of the movie in the instant, even before you rolled out the proof of your parents investment in your higher education.
warm regards, W
