I hadn't heard of this movie, but it looks good. And Sam Waterston is in it. I'm in.

If that triggers you -- don't go see it.
I never watch politically motivated movies.

It's insulting to the man to use his words as a means to pressure people in to watching Hollywood propaganda. His stories contained leftist propaganda of their own to some degree but it was presented intelligently and at least in my opinion in a highly engaging manner.

Hollywood has been injecting their leftist agenda in to their films for decades now but they have been laying it on thicker as of late. Or maybe the quality of the storytelling has eroded to the point where the propaganda sticks out more, or people are less willing to look past it.

You are better off for that.
Many of those movies will make you dumber if you watch them.

Although my exposure to him is limited, I agree with you.

Any more, it seems to be their sole reason for existing.
