"A very well put together documentary this,but,it's like: "tell us something we dont know". I saw the director on "The Daily Show" last year,so put it on my rental list...The director bases his exposition around the "farewell speech" of President Eisenhower, when he identified the "Military (Congressional) Complex"that the USA ("United States of Amnesia" as GoreVidal says) has instigated ,following victory,by the Allies,headed by the U.S. over the Nazis in 1945 , and the assumption of the pre-eminence of the U.S.A among the "Western" powers...The "Cold War" with Russia was to fuel this military/corporate machine through the next three decades... He dropped the reference to The Congress seemingly out of politeness,but it is no mistake that Arms manufacturers spread their production facilities across as many States as possible in order to retain congressional backing. The counterpoint throughout to the regular "history lesson" is the story of a retired New York cop,who,having lost a ... "

"The Oscar nominations have been announced, and because we all need to complain about at least one thing every year, let my gripe be with the Jonny Greenwood snub (apparently his score was disqualified). Karina will be sharing her own analysis later today. Stay tuned. It’s been a serious topic that Sundance isn’t the buying frenzy we all thought it would be. But when distributors talk about a filmmaker needing to pay them, it’s really a bad time for the festival.

"Heard about this one on a short segment on NPR where Christopher Guest (of all people) suggest DVD rentals, and this was one of his choices. I noticed it was running on our local cable's 'on demand' service, so took a look at it last night (and then restarted it again from the beginning so my wife could watch the whole thing too, when she wandered into the room - mostly because the opening scenes of the 'airplane graveyard' we had actually visited in Tucson recently). Fascinating documentary, that seems to take a very hard cold look at the double dealings and backroom motivations behind why we have managed to stay constantly at war with someone or other since the end of World War Two. Frightening, sobering, and depressing look at how the military industrial complex has so completely and neatly infiltrated the workings of our country to the point where I don't think we could ever stop it if we wanted to. Unfortunately the cable goofed up and we ended up missi ... "

"Why We Fight is an incredible, eye-opening, scary look at the United States of America. It's about who we are, who we've become, and how we got here. "
