Claude – I will look for Emir Kusturica’s films. I’ve actually heard about them for some time, but haven’t had the chance to watch any yet.

As for the French – of course we support the French here at Libertas and appreciate all the fine films they have made – such as this one!

A French movie that Libertas likes! Perhaps Americans will now realize that the French are not all Communists, but appreciate democracy more than most nations. Perhaps then Americans will abandon this ridiculous “freedom fries” rhetoric.

On a side note, the cast of “Farewell” includes the famous Yugoslavian director Emir Kusturica, whose films I believe the readers of Libertas would also enjoy.

This was a very moving and well-done trailer. Tears actually came to my eyes as I watched it, because, first of all, I was moved by the courage of the Soviet defector who risked his life to bring these secrets to the West and help destroy Soviet Communism, but secondly, because these filmmakers had the bravery to make this movie. I can’t wait to see this film.

By the way, I just have to ask, why is no-one in the conservative media talking about this film? Why does no-one in the conservative media cover any of the amazing films you guys bring up every single day?

I’m very excited about this. How ironic that it’s the French making this, while in America, Hollywood is still so mired in political correctness that it can’t even admit that Soviet Communism failed. Good for these filmmakers. Will check it out when it comes to town.

Good news indeed. I think we’re at the crest of a wave, and movies will start to change…in order to survive.

It looks like it hits Chicago on July 30th, Julio. Thanks for commenting.

I can’t believe this is happening. Wow. I will definitely check this out whenever it shows up in Chicago.

Yes, I agree – it’s good casting. In the very least, they don’t appear to be stooping to caricature in their depiction of Reagan – as James Brolin did in the CBS miniseries on the Reagans.

Can it be? Could we actually have a positive depiction here of Ronald Reagan-and what he did to win the Cold War? That’s amazing, if it’s true. I love the casting of Fred Ward here, although he looks a little more like Reagan when he was Governor, instead of President. They definitely got the nose and the jaw right.
