MS. THERON SUFFERS FROM THE SAME ARROGANCE AS ALL OF HOLLYWOOD. SHE SAID SHE IS SUPRISED AT THE FLUFF THE PUBLIC DESIRES TO EXPLAIN WHY HER WAR MOVIE FLOPPED. IN OTHER WORDS, SHE MADE A GREAT MOVIE WITH A MESSAGE, BUT THE PUBLIC IS TOO SHALLOW OR INDIFFERENT (CODE FOR STUPID) TO APPRECIATE THE MESSAGE. I AM AGAINST THE WAR, BUT I DO NOT NEED AN ACTOR SHOVING HIS OR HER VIEWS DOWN MY THROAT. MOVIES SHOULD BE FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND TO BE HONEST I FIND MOST OF TODAY'S ACTORS JUST PLAIN IGNORANT AND ARROGANT (THEY KNOW BEST THOUGH THEY ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH REAL PEOPLE). THIS IS ALSO WHY NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE OSCARS. INSTEAD OF ENTERTAINMENT, THE PUBLIC IS PREACHED AT ABOUT HOW TO THINK; OR SOME ONE WINS AN OSCAR DUE TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, NOT PERFORMANCE.
