I went to see the movie Saturday night. It was crazy, I bought tickets for myself and a few friends two hours ahead of time Online, just so we could get in. The theatre was packed, and it seemed like the owners of the theatre decided to conveniently overlook the age of many of the kids who showed up (which I applaud them for, it seems obvious to me that the 'R'-rating was politically motivated, since there was nothing more violent or gruesome in the movie than could be seen by any kid on the evening news or Discovery channel).

Has anyone else gone to see it? What are your thoughts, now that you have?

I personally thought it was an excellent movie and editorial. It is definitely crafted to tug at your emotions, as I was laughing my head off at one point, then on the verge of tears fifteen minutes later (as a full-of-herself ignorant woman goes up to a war protester and the mother of a killed soldier, and has the gall to say that the entire thing is staged -- and the mother walks away in tears after setting the woman in her place).

Even if you are completely for the US actions in Iraq, and for the presidency of Bush, I urge you to go see this movie. It can't hurt you to take a look at the argument of the other side, and see what the human toll of this conflict is. Remember the bias it comes from, but take care to listen to the argument that is made.
