do they realize that "they" (their ideology) are the ones that remain black and white and gray the longest, practice overt racism, turn violent and destroy books and try to prevent people from gaining knowledge? I must remember to ask one some time what they think of the movie - it is quite a wicked skewering of the right wing (intentional, I wonder?).
If you haven't seen it in awhile, I suggest re-watching it - it is quite currently reflective of today.

(3,222 posts)He enters his perfect 1950's home, hangs up his hat and coat and calls out his everyday greeting of "Hi, honey, I'm home." Hearing no response from his dutiful 1950's wife, he wanders around the house trying to find the someone who is always home when he gets there. The look of bewilderment at the disruption of his routine and the concern that one of the pillars of his life is missing is written all over his face. In so many ways that look is a visual expression of what conservatives feel as so many of the pillars of their belief system have fallen. Black are equal, women are independent, Gays can marry and pot is legal. Just like Macy, they are swept up in changes that they don't understand, don't approve of and cannot stop.
