…I just got home from seeing Over The Hedge with my daughter and my sister. I was shocked at how Hollywood used a film geared towards younger audiences as political propaganda. Animals in this film were portrayed as loving, caring, and in my opinion superior to humans. Humans were demonised for building a development of homes in a wooded area. It seemed as though the Earth Liberation Front endorsed this segment! The human family was portrayed as being greedy, socially iiresponsible, cruel and uncaring. Wow, the humans were seen gathered around a table with heads bowed in prayer. The animals explained that they were “worshiping around the altar of food.” One line I remember was that “We (the animals) eat to live, whereas the humans live to eat,” thus labeling humans as gluttons. The animals saw a vehicle, and it was explained to them that it was “an SUV” when the question arose as to how many humans travel together in this large vehicle, the answer was...“usually one.” So, humans again were bashed for being environmentally careless. I couldn’t help but wonder, does Bruce Willis not drive a vehicle, and own a home?? I’ve come to the conclusion that the Hollywood elite like to condemn us for what we think and do, and somehow they are untouchable and beyond the frey. All in all this was a disturbing, transparent attempt to steer young minds onto the liberal, paganistic, earth-worshipping track of thought that has apparently got a stronghold in the hearts and minds of the Hollywood crowd. Do yourself a favor and rent a good uplifting Christian movie for your family.
