Monsters
By 449 Quentin , 3/30/07

After work on Friday March 9, 2007 I sat in my car enjoying a chicken roll and a slice of pizza while I checked out the movie reviews for the weekend. I selected a Korean import called “The Host” . The film got excellent reviews as compared to the awful stuff Hollywood has been churning out, so I went to see it.

The reviews did not lie. The film was well made and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Unfortunately along with the great flick I had to endure a cultural brainwashing from the Liberal thought police.

The story is a Korean version of the monster that ate Tokyo. Our boy is no Godzilla just a bus size Guppy with legs and a garbage disposal type mouth. His little legs propel him right out of the water so that he can run you down. Guppy boy is fantastic but its the people in the movie that get to your heart. They are an everyman kind of family that runs a snack stand down by the river the Mega guppy with Nikes lives in. All five of them have terrific character development. We get a cute but heroic schoolgirl, Her dimwitted but honorable dad, an aunt and uncle out of real life as apposed to central casting. This is topped off by a grandpa who stoically does the right thing regardless of the odds.

It’s the politics behind the film that are really monstrous. You see Mega Guppy got to grow as big and ornery as he did because a United States Military scientist ordered a sweet as pie Korean scientist to empty a couple of thousand bottles of lethal chemicals into a sink. Why? Well because the bottles were dusty and the Dick Chaney look alike American has a thing about dusty bottles along with other Hitler style traits. Of course the drain leads to the river and well you get it.

Here is where the left shines. Bong Joon-ho the Korean who wrote and directed the film is in sync with John Anderson who wrote the review that I read in Long Island Newsday. Newsday is not in a perfect position to pontificate on good and evil because they were involved recently in faking their circulation which is a big no, no in media land. Mr. Johnson calls the flick a socio-political critique that shines a light on U.S. intervention/neglect in Korean affairs. Uncle Sam is the villain of choice in liberal circles.

Although to my dim witted Right Wing way of thought perhaps the Director and the Movie Critic should look a bit further north along the Korean peninsula if they want to embellish fiction with fact. Perhaps they should check out one Kim Jong il Il who has all the attributes of a real villain. As opposed to the United States which brought wealth and freedom to the south with a generous payment of American blood. Kim has brought the north, famine, ignorance and poverty on a world class scale. He also dabbles in counter fitting dollars, selling drugs and spreading weapons to the highest bidder. But don’t take my word for it, hang out at the borders and check who is sneaking in or out of which country.

The south is churning out television sets, cars and ships while the north is sifting through garbage dumps looking for a snack. But then isn’t that the way Liberals all over the world see reality. According to them the axis of evil consist of George Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican party. The Liberal media has just about destroyed all three.

Even in the world of fiction and film the Americans are the evil hand behind the horrors that confront the world. One would think that as the Lib’s take over the world that perhaps they should ponder this. After the last spade full of earth is tossed on the coffin containing Bush, Chaney and the Republican party, the Lib’s will have inherited the earth. They will have to deal with what they have been denying while they vented their spleen on George W and company. They will have to confront the people who blow up trains, planes and buses. They will have to deal with Radical Islam. It will be their problem to see that everybody has a full tank of gas in their car and a nice warm house to read The New York Times in. Darfur will still be there and the Mexican border will still have a welcome sign hanging over a hole in the barb wire . The electorate in the heart land will look at them if Cleveland goes up in a puff of smoke. They will get the phone call in the middle of the night if everybody in Dallas gets a real strange and real lethal rash.

The world will still be there even though George W is gone and it ain’t going to be a pretty place. Then it will all be up to Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi and they will wish that all they had to worry about would be a guppy on steroids with a nasty attitude.
