("Gojira" and "An Inconvenient Truth" are a much more appropriate double feature than you might imagine.)



With this one sentence, the author loses all credibility. Gojira was a serious statement about the horrific implications of nuclear weapons technology. It is an apolitical film that does not criticize or champion any nation or political point of view. This is one of the reasons why the film works so well. It's message is one of responsibility towards science. This message is echoed years later in the film Jurassic Park with the following line from Ian Malcolm:
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with wether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should."
An Inconvienient Truth is a worthless propaganda film produced by a failed, corrupt politician.
Such a comparison is an insult to Honda, both the man and his message.

YOU are the one that brought personal politics into this discussion- you've done it on several threads in the past (and i have been guilty of keeping it going, i'll admit that). no one else has felt the need to say anything like you did:

"An Inconvienient Truth is a worthless propaganda film produced by a failed, corrupt politician. " you make these statements, then run off and say "i'm not doing anything wrong, it's not political because i say it's not". if you didn't need to interject those sort of dubious theories into the thread, you wouldn't have to worry about them being locked.

if the thread gets locked, we all will know who's fault it is.
