The Incredible
I must say a word or two about The Incredibles:
1. Pro-tort reform
2. Anti the celebration of mediocrity
3. Pro marriage and family
4. Pro heroism
5. pro individualism
and most surprisingly, coming from Hollywood as it does,
it makes two statements that struck me as supportive of the war on terror, when first the mother tells her children that the bad guys are not the ones they see on Saturday mroning TV, but really bad, the kind who would kill children (sound like a reference to any terrorists we know?)
Second, the mother tells them (can't recall the exact words) that things have changed, and they have to use all their abilities to beat the bad guys.
Maybe no one else heard it this way, but I believe it was unmistakable.
See it.
