are we really going to rehash this again - - -

ok - without my reasoning - LOTD was a BRILLIANT film - smart, politically pointed, and ABSOLUTELY Romero. This film fits perfectly with the Romero tendency to make the Dead films reflect a critical vision of contemporary America and the current American political situation was BEGGING for a film like LOTD - that people would rather wave the flag and hate the enemy with a film like War of the Worlds than be confronted by Romero's critical vision is a sad commentary on our country (the film actually did quite well in Europe, which is the same thing that happened with Night - weak initial US box office but then hailed as a masterpiece in Europe and given a second lease on life in the US where it has become a classic).
