Reading between the lines

Filed under: @ 4:07 pm

Greg Saunders of The Talent Show fame is currently guest-blogging over at Tom Tomorrow’s blog. I haven’t read anything of Greg’s before, but his first guest-spot post is a good one, noting the parallels that can be found between Episode 3 and our current government.

Problem is, as I see it, how can we be sure that the people who could stand to see this parallel will actually “read between the lines” and see it as a critique of what’s going on right now as opposed to just a special effects feast?

While it can always be said that if this movie opens one mind it would totally be worth it, I have to admit that I’m thinking if there are people out there that are holding out hope that this is going to swing public opinion in any meaningful way, they’re going to be sorely disappointed.
