Views view

An excellent film, Mr Clooney and views don’t share the same politics, but what ever your political position it is a matter of Intelligence to listen to the other side and on this issue Mr Clooney is right but one should try to avoid looking at present issues in the context of the issues that the film deals with, context is all important.
