Stu VanAirsdale of the left-wing filmsite Movieline interviewed “Fair Game” director Doug Liman. Check out this biting, insightful follow-up question to the director’s absurd claim that his film isn’t committed to politics:
MOVIELINE: It’s kind of a weird climate for this film. There was Nothing But the Truth, which was kind of mishandled. Then there was Green Zone, which audiences were very cool toward. Where will Fair Game fall in this political intrigue/spy thriller spectrum?LIMAN: I think it’s in the spectrum of “It’s a really great movie.” And a lot of other movies that have been about the war or dealt with the war have not been great movies. In fact, they’ve been motivated more by politics than by story, and that’s been a turn-off to audiences. This is sort of the first political movie that’s been made where I feel like the commitment was there from the first moment to story and character, and not to politics.
MOVIELINE: I overheard you a moment ago mentioning Naomi Watts is outstanding in this. Can you elaborate?
Translation: After I carried a little water for the embarrassment that was “Nothing But the Truth,” you made the wildly outrageous statement that your movie about Valerie Plame and starring Sean Penn isn’t committed to politics. My follow up, however, will ignore all of that — will let that spin stand — and instead I’ll give you the opportunity to gush over your leading lady for two reasons: We’re on the same ideological team and I really, really want you to like me.
Gee, why is Hollywood’s approval rating 33% again?
Here’s Mark Tapson’s in-depth script review of “Fair Game” for Big Hollywood. Or what I like to call a real example of research and honest reporting — the hard work that a healthy skepticism requires in order to tell a truth even though it might not make you terribly popular in Tinseltown.
Tell me again how, like, totally awesome Naomi Watts is!
Good grief.
But this is how they work to put one over on the public. The whole of the inbred, leftist entertainment media collectively comes together to circle the wagons around anything they think will help to move the ideological ball in their direction.
More to come…
