Terra Firma is her name;

As with the war, public opinion tends to gravitate towards the right
side of the question...towards skepticism of a status quo they know
isn't working. However, deferential Americans have learned to look to
the politicians and the media for some validation of that skepticism.

I saw the whole movie. I have mixed feelings about it. I agree with the
comment that the person who wrote/produced this was immature
politically. The very obvious comparison with Apartheid was the main
comparison, combined with a sort of faux-Nazi approach as a Final
Solution to the Alien
Did anyone notice that the true aliens are not the prawns but the
Nigerians? Despite their bizarre appearance, the prawns are immediately
anthomorphized, so we are made to feel pity for C.J. - the child prawn, and we
come to identify with the wise and smart Christopher. We feel no such pity

Well, there are some 5.7 billion people outside USofAm. Maybe a few
won´t remember that Nixon ruled in 1969, or a few may even ignore who
was Nixon. But more than you can guess will find Santana´s solos a
masterpiece, etc.

No, but anyone who was old enough to have been at Woodstock will remember Nixon
and the Vietnam War.

I won't spoil the movie - it's a film best seen cold with no foreknowedge of
the storyline - but it's one of the most anti racist mainstream films I've ever
