This weekend I went to see the movie The Constant Gardener based upon all the good reviews I had read. I should have known better! It was a very well done movie from a technical point of view; but, it was also a very Left Wing polemic that the Bush/Blair haters will love...... which is the reason it got such good reviews. An exception is this review from Megan Basham which I have linked: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GuestColumns/Basham20050902.shtml
In her review she states: "the Constant Gardener is so thinly disguises as a love story only the most pseudo of intellectuals could take it seriously.....the.... moralizing is so heavy-handed it negates its own stunning cinematography and a truly inspired inspired performance by Rachel Weisz..... Director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) makes certain his characters swing at every blame-America-first straw dog like they expect candy to come pouring out....Sound a bit radical? Not nearly as radical as some of Meirelles own statements, such as when he told a University of Texas campus paper about filming in Kenya, 'It was a great experience. Like an al-Qaeda training camp'......"
Don't go to the movie until you have read the review that's linked above.
