Citizen Soros-Part Three

Funding Anti-American Film

Soros is also bankrolling a documentary that celebrates left-wing terrorists who plotted to napalm Republicans at the 2008 GOP convention in Minnesota. Even worse, you too are bankrolling the film through your taxes.

A trailer for the left-wing film Better This World suggests that it depicts David Guy McKay and Bradley Neil Crowder as idealistic activists who, according to the official blurb, “set out to prove the strength of their political convictions to themselves and their mentor.” In fact McKay and Crowder are convicted domestic terrorists who manufactured instruments of death calculated to inflict maximum pain and bodily harm on people whose political views they disagreed with.

You can be sure that if it was right-wing terrorists who were plotting to attack the Democratic National Convention, whoever foiled the conspiracy would be immortalized in film, literature and song as a savior of democracy.

“If you flip the equation around and it had been a group of conservatives threatening to use force to prevent those on the Left from meeting, everyone would expect the government to infiltrate them and they would also expect the FBI to stop them and charge them with crimes,” said Brandon Darby, who helped the FBI thwart the planned attack. (Darby’s essay on political violence appeared on Big Government over the past weekend. Read it here.)

The movie, which is expected to be released this year, attacks Darby, a true American hero who undermined the conspiracy by alerting the FBI. Filmmakers Katie Galloway and Kelly Duane de la Vega twist the facts to argue that Darby, a former revolutionary activist, manipulated McKay and Crowder into becoming would-be mass murderers.

It’s an easily disproved lie. During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Michael Davis went out of his way to make a specific legal finding that McKay obstructed justice by falsely accusing Darby of inducing him to manufacture the incendiary devices.

McKay and Crowder had made homemade riot shields and were ready to use them in St. Paul to help demonstrators block streets near the Xcel Energy Center. The goal was to shut down the democratic process by preventing GOP delegates from participating in the convention. The shields were discovered and confiscated.

During a search of a residence, police found gas masks, slingshots, helmets, knee pads and eight Molotov cocktails consisting of bottles filled with gasoline with attached wicks made from tampons. “They mixed gasoline with oil so it would stick to clothing and skin and burn longer,” Darby said.

Brian DePalma's award winning anti-war movie earned $25,628.
It was made for $5,000,000.

That is a .5% return.

My first documentary cost $35,000 to make, and thanks to the supporters of the Outside the Wire project, has made $23,464 or 67% return.

When one guy with a camera is beating Hollywood in rate of return and almost beating Hollywood in gross receipts--Hollywood has a problem

(previously posted)
As mentioned earlier, Brian De Palma is showing yet another P.O.S. anti-war movie. Yet this time, the movie will provide aid and comfort to the enemy. Confederate Yankee has a good take:

...As sweat drips in the eyes of soldiers and Marines as they attempt to bring peace to a land that has rarely known it, their enemies will be watching pirated and crudely-dubbed bootlegs of Redacted in training camps in Syria, in mosques in Saudi Arabia, and in homes throughout the Arab world, who already take a suspicious view of the American soldier in Iraq.

We will not see the pictures that would actually win the war, of an Iraqi father wrapping his arms around a suicide bomber to keep him from entering a mosque, or of the Iraqi interpreter who proudly dreams of becoming an American Marine. We won't see American ssaving Iraqi lives, or Iraqis saving American lives, or the brutality of those we fight.

Those, you see, are the pictures that Brian de Palma has redacted.

Narnia

Narnia

There are as many movie reviewers out there as there are movies but I felt that this movie called for one more review. My review is different in that the Christian perspective is as important as the technical aspects and I offer it with no apologies.

The battle scenes, though hand-to-hand, are not nearly as brutal as Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” because there are not many instances of blood and gore. Those wounds that do exist are minimized. One of the main characters receives a potentially mortal blow but as dramatic as that is - it is still just a red spot on the character’s vestments. It is a brutal battle because the setting is beautiful, even pastoral and these are the creatures of our childhood fantasies. The creatures are truly fantastic; griffins and gargoyles as well as lions, tigers and bears. This war between good and evil is presented simply with stark stereotypical contrasts; you wonder how that stupid child could NOT know that the Snow Queen is evil. She isn’t pale and cold just because she hasn’t been to the beach lately. The wolves with their snarling and hateful muttering and threats are scary because they are cunning. Aslan, the Lord of Narnia, is beautiful and perfect. The events before the big battle draw on the characters and pull out of them the qualities that you suspect. The duplicity of the greedy little liar and the nobility of the beaver couple as they show their concern for each other as they go into hiding, running for their lives. You see strengths come into play in unexpected ways and the individuals are surprised at themselves sometimes (even Santa Claus has his part to play). The adult actors chosen to portray our child-heroes in the final scenes seem unreal in their perfection but are natural and un-self-conscious in their movements and interactions. We rebel at the final choice at the end of the story because it is unthinkable from an adult’s perspective. But it makes sense.

The allegorical aspects that will appeal to a believer are so obvious that I hesitate to discuss them because they would spoil the suspense for anyone who happens to be the one in a millionth person who hasn’t read the book. Entire books have been written on the allegory found in the fictions of C S Lewis. I can only add that this work is true to the author. Mr. Lewis’s grandson held tightly to this property waiting for the right moment.

The detail of the computer-generated image has reached new levels and will stand up to inspection if Disney maintains their standard in the reproduction of the DVD. I, for one, am pleased at the continued collaboration of Disney and Pixar. The visuals in this movie are child-like but not cartoon-ish. This is destined to be an instant DVD “must-have”. I give this movie two thumbs up and a "go get the refill popcorn yourself!" yodi-va

pp-edit: Disney and Pixar have not signed a contract renewal as yet. I hope no one bought Disney stock due to this review. :) Actually, I don't recommend buying stock in Disney anyway.

I am intrigued by that statement. I don't remember the Narnia stories well at all and was not inclined to see the movie but your enthusiasm is contagious.

Looks like the McDonalds will be going to the movies together for the first time since The Passion of the Christ was released!

Saw the movie tonight and it was even better than I expected. I was so touched by Edmond's betrayal and redemption.

One little boy walked into the theatre clutching his Narnia books. As we were leaving another boy could hardly contain himself, "That was the best movie ever! Ever! Ever!"

Thank you C. S. Lewis for this timeless gift and Disney for translating it into film.
