RE: I too read your rant and it was part of my motivation to see it...

...it was as if we saw different productions. You're still at it so it's pretty clear it has touched a nerve with you. Soooo...would it be possible for you to provide a an articulate and detailed description of what you find so objectionable? How is it comparable to Nazi and Stalin era propaganda? How does it differ? What do you believe its true purpose to be and who or what is behind this true purpose?he

The movie is cheaply made even for Del Toro standards and feels rushed to reflect upon the recent political development as soon as they could get it out.That cold war era placement of the plot is just a convenient metaphor. All the white american male characters are racist scumbags, weasels or just murderous psychopaths.I didn't notice any exceptions. Even the Russian spy is preferable to them. How would you describe the "typical middle class family" portrait as pictured in the movie? Clearly , the only entertainment the wifey is getting is the bang upstairs. It's all she waits and lives for. Don't even get me started on kids. Than, there is the car, the "American Dream" which surely deserves its fate in the end.
I'm sure non of you will recognize yourself and your American middle class aspirations in this portrait but it is there,clear as a bell.
Now set it against those caring, sympathetic, lovable other characters. Most probably foreign origin abandoned mute girl (likely mutilated by white molester methinks),Righteous Russian immigrant and spy, warm hearted movie theater owner offering free tickets with thick immigrant accent,smart and energetic black girl , the most resolute of them all, how predictable. Finaly, a nice white guy all the women (except those stupid American bitches of course)would love to fall in love with , nope he is a gay unfortunately. Trashed by his own and only accepted by the discriminated minorities. Than, there is the elusive creature which I'm convinced must be transgender no less.
Do you recognize your movie??
