Just finished watching a new movie from Redbox called The Ghost Writer. I found it interesting that this U.S. version had much less profanity than was shown in Great Britain. At least that's what I read, and funny, but I could tell when they'd voiced over certain words. That's a first, and made me think of films that are cleaned up for t.v. Never knew that exceptions were made when films traveled to other countries, but that's encouraging, I think.
But the problem was with the story. It was intriguing pretty quickly, but soon after the new wore off, we noticed that the storyline was sympathetic to the terr*orist mindset, and not the good guys. It was so subtle that it was disturbing. I found myself watching and asking my husband if I had it right. Something just wasn't square.
Then the major sinking feeling when we saw in the movie credits at the end that it was a Rom*an Pol*anski film. I just felt sick. He should pay US to watch his garbage, and not the other way around. That this guy has the ability to have his work shown in this country (or anywhere for that matter) is just disgusting.
There. That feels a mite better.
