Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.

The real point is that you cannot harbor malice toward others and then cry foul when someone displays intolerance against you. Prejudice tolerated is intolerance encouraged. Rise up in righteousness when you witness the words and deeds of hate, but only if you are willing to rise up against them all, including your own. Otherwise suffer the slings and arrows of disrespect silently.

Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.
