A story about this — 1 year ago

Thoughts from the film:
  • I like the scene where Bill Maher is interviewing Propaghandi and offers him a binary choice: either you think it’s acceptable to threaten violence because of things that people have said, or it isn’t. Vacillation and equivocation is needless for something so basic.
  • The issue as he presents it is should we have an open mind to people and philosophies that aim to dull our critical faculties and convince us not to ask questions? This is then connected with violent actions.
  • There are part of the movie that I like (the above mentioned theme and scene, for instance) and there are parts that I don’t (too America-centric), much like with religious texts. I’m able to be selective with both.
