I saw this film when it came out at a local theater in Anchorage Alaska. There were only about ten people at that particular viewing. I don't know overall how well this film did but I do know that it would not get any support from mainstream media. The information in the film was extremely important and I tip my hat to Jeremy Renner for his effort to bring this story to the public consciousness.
Americans have been under continuous propaganda and media saturation since world war two. I believe it is unprecedented in the history of our planet and the results will only be understood with the perspective of time and distance. I very much appreciate all of you that post here and share your knowledge and humor in these very dark times.
Bill, I agree that the box office receipts are going to be terrible. I read a review over here i n a mainstream newspaper and the critic attacked the film, not for its factual content - how could he - but used the old device of mingy criticism over tiny little things so as to create the impression for the public that it's a poor film. For me it's a really important film.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
