Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)
Interesting Conversation Starter
No, this documentary isn't perfect. It could have really used more time to develop its main point. And the side trip to talk about Eugenics and Nazism doesn't help matters.
But on the whole, this is a great, eye opening film that shows the lack of academic freedom in this country. Is it biased? You bet! It is trying to prove a point. It is not trying to be fair and balanced.
It is also not trying to prove Intelligent Design. All it is trying to do is make an argument that it should be a valid field of study.
So here is my challenge to you. Go see this film. Then come home and do your own research. After that, make up your own mind. What could be so bad about that?
Pride (2007)
Racist?
I'm surprised by some of the comments here. I'm white, I went to see the movie this weekend, and I thought it was great.
Yes, there are some white characters that treat our heroes horribly. But that rang true for me. This was 1974 Philedelphia, after all. And racism is a horrid part of our past.
But all the characters, even our heroes, are flawed. And there are a couple African American characters who are more evil then any of the white characters are.
Furthermore, the entire point of the movie is that pride is something you have to earn. Before you can be proud of yourself, you have to earn it. This applies to everyone, no matter what your background.
Go see this movie for yourself and make up your own mind. Personally, I found it inspiring and well worth watching.
