Something to think about. On the other movie database website this movie gets a 6.2 On this website the analogous rating is 6.9 To me, that says one of two things. Either the people visiting here are smarter than IMDB reviewers ... or ... IMDB isn't about reflecting the public's opinion, but instead reflecting Jeff Bezos' opinion. My opinion??? Both of those things are true. BTW, in light of what we know about our government (USA) in 2024, this movie has enhanced its relevance since being released. "I'd rather have questions I can't answer, than answers I can't question." The previous quote is from every person who ever thought for themselves. Be one of those people.
