The Way We Were

I just read an interesting article on Newsweek entitled The Way We Were.

It begins:

"If artists depend on angst and unrest to fuel their creative fire, then at least in one sense the 43rd presidency has been a blessing."

That's probably true, and I wanted everyone to give an example of a film that was created in the past eight that exemplifies the era of our 43rd president.

I would like to recommend:

Why We Fight

I feel that this documentary, while obviously biased, provides insight into the current era because docs were ridiculously popular, and because it provided me with parallels to help me understand what we were engaging in. It represents the speed with which we are able to "look back" at the direction our nation is headed, which is obviously significantly faster than ever before.

No End In Sight 

Although, now that we've got Barak coming into the White House, it looks like there might be an end in sight, or at least a plan for what we are doing and why.
