I haven't seen it, but hope to eventually if nothing more than to see Daniel Day Lewis....great actor.
One of the concerns I have would be in how this film(if it's successful and manages to achieve a Schindler's List level of exposure and support in terms of presenting a somewhat accurate and important historical event) explores the issue of States Rights.
I would think the topic of States Rights is becoming increasingly important as the US continues to circle the 4th level of economic hell, and would hate to see any shaping of opinion/behavior any further away from what I assume many on this forum(and elsewhere) feel quite strongly about.
Does this movie present an opportunity to shape opinion further away from States Rights?
If so, does it do so honestly and fairly?
Am I being a bit paranoid to think there is potential for this film to misrepresent States Rights and cut the knees off any efforts to promote them?
10, 20 years ago I probably wouldn't ask the question.......but the timing on this film if it portrays an overly dim view of States Rights would be impeccably bad.
