By George, I Think He's Got It

I don't want to overshoot this -- that's what she said -- but I think this might be the greatest film ever made. Take that Citizen Kane! And while I haven't actually seen the movie yet, just watching the trailer alone is enough to instantly convince me.

Within the first few seconds it's blatantly clear that the film's budget was a non-issue, as the director only had 6 dollars, Canadian. Something else he threw out the window; talent. He must have rounded up every neighbor, cousin and hobo he could find to fill the parts of this horrendous cast. Since the actors can't act, I can only come to the conclusion that the director put all his effort into the movie's very original plot.

It's Web site describes the film as; "Set in the near future, Uncivil Liberties shows a United States where the government resorts to heightened surveillance of its own citizens in the name of security, while domestic extremists boldly rebel and take up arms in resistance."

My God, that just blew my mind! How in the world did he come up with such an organic idea that really sheds light on the country's current problems and even foreshadows its very probable, dismal future? He must be a witch.

Maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now if only he'd made his eye-opening movie years ago, say, in 1984.

OK so one of the actresses was totally in the soap opera "As the World Turns" in the early 90s. Trust.
