It frustrates me very much that many Americans believe movies are "just entertainment" with no political or ideological implications. (In fact, the "it's just entertainment" phenomenon is the subject of my dissertation). Look at how people freaked out when Latino groups criticized the Taco Bell dog, or when critics have discussed racial implications of films like The Seige and Star Wars. I hope Y? Forum will print more questions about the media.
