IMDB Political Wank

So I check V for Vendetta, a movie that promotes freedom from a facist govenment, and already the liberals are accusing the film of being an attack on Bush.

Nevermind that the original comic was made in the 80s, and wasn't even directed towards America's politics. Go figure, apparently the left believes that every movie is an attack on Bush, when V for Vendetta isn't attacking either side.

I am a Reader Response critic, so I believe that the meaning is made by the viewer/reader, not the author. So even if the movie was intended to bash Bush I can just as easily see it as bashing any totalitarian government :-D
