What diminishes the films ability to makes its points is that its a bad film

I do not speak for anyone else but myself yet it seems clear enough to me that oftentimes in life one must be bad to do good. But I doubt that I bumped into you in the PX in Iraq, I guess that you were shopping at the mall adding to your Leni Riefenstahl DVD collection. Now she was a master of composition!
