I took a break from Dark Knight Returns because I wanted to read a longer book (and the library doesn't allow renews on graphic novels but that's irrelevant). I also wanted to go with something that didn't just make me look like the nerd in class, you know like Star Wars. But the real reason I chose this book is because I have two passions in life: comedy and movies. Film has the ability to influence us in so many ways that we don't even realize. The lawyers in the book (by the way there was a real trial about the religious and government undertones in Star Wars. Isn't that awesome?) make this apparent due to their quote they took from a famous New York Times interview, "Movies have a big voice, and what we filmmakers have to do is set a good example" also on page 5 Birn (The lawyer) Brought up is how he felt after seeing The Empire Strikes Back, "This (Star Wars) wasn't just fun anymore. It felt... important.
I want this book to help me understand why certain people feel so passionately about the films they took the time to see, love and eventually argue about religious undertones of.
So here is the non rhetorical question I'm putting out:
