Loved it. The visual effects were amazing... MC Escher would crap himself if he saw that movie.

Democracy was seen as a very bad idea from the time of Athens until quite recently in American history. The founding fathers were very much with Socrates. The modern drive that democracy is a good thing is actually the anti-thesis of the American foundations.

I can't get the video to play, but let me guess.... he says democracy is bad because the common man is an idiot?

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
Technically no. It's that the average person has not contemplated government. He doesn't mention intelligence but rather effort.

Sincere condolences. When I went on a cruise, that movie played the whole time, so many different language versions. It was always dubbed in one language and subtitled in another, and it was still terrible every time I walked by a TV that week.

Learning. Always learning.
