[b]"Look at me, I'm open-minded!"[/b]
". . . it's Anna's transformation from doctrine-taught conservative (repeating the anti-Communist venom of her grandmother, demanding to stay in Catholic school) to open-minded citizen that is the focus of our attentions."
Wow. What I fool I was to think that a "doctrine-taught conservative" could be open-minded. Or a citizen. And I can't believe that stupid little girl actually wanted to stay in Catholic school, where she was comfortable and happy.
And what's this? Some idiots out there STILL don't like murderous communistic socialists or their trampling of human rights? Get with it, people! Communism is the future!
Thanks for opening our eyes, Jen Yamato. Your open-mindedness is a shining beacon for us all.

Oh, and you're very welcome, ninjaandy. Always glad to help a practitioner of ancient Japanese martial arts learn a little more about movies they probably haven't seen.

I thought Jen's summary of the film was quite good. If she was to be help to words holding no connotation and be completely pc friendly (aka A young-person goes through a change in thought when their parents make changes in their previous behavior either in a positive or negative way depending on the mindset of the individual viewer), then I for one would have no idea what the film was actually about. Also, she never says that the little girl isn't a citizen; she says, "open-minded citizen" not "open-minded, citizen" the latter would imply two seperate things while the former is an adjective followed by a noun, a single thing. Further, it was never implied that the girl was stupid for wanting to stay in her comfortable lifestyle, her unwillingness to change is what gives the film a conflict to base itself around.
Ok, so maybe I'm just an idiot and don't understand the profoundness of the words of your post. I kinda want to see the movie after reading the description and I had yet to hear about it, so thanks Jen, keep up the good work and don't listen to andy.

Thanks, strangeguy. I appreciate it!
Now I can resume eating little children and tearing tags out of mattresses.
