Frankly I don't know what all the fuss is about. It is not the propaganda piece that the right seems to think it is. Surprise surprise something has been blown out of proportion. I will say the film is outstanding though.

1. I saw it last night and it was 'OK' ... |

The wife cried through the last 40 mins, I found I couldn't really get into it as I'm just not interested in female boxing.

6. I have absolutely zero interest |
|
Must be the female boxing thing, too. But, male boxing does nothing for me, either.

2. "propaganda piece that the right seems to think it is"? |

The biggest piece of left-wing propaganda this year, even bigger than F-911!

9. One would have to give the ending away to answer you. Your |

guess is incorrect. Otherwise, my lips (fingers) are sealed. ;)

I had no idea Clint Eastwood has this much soul in him. The story is simple and straight-forward and incredibly moving. The film takes no political positions, it's about addressing the needs we find in our lives through others.

8. I think except for the ending the movie was a cliche. I cannot |
|
understand the fuss about it. That includes the acting nominations.
Although I don't think Sideways is Best Picture caliber, Paul Giamatti should have been nominated as Best Actor in lieu of Clint, who played just an older Clint...
