certain aspect of punishment park be less than perfect and specifically some of the acting . however i feel that this be probably the most important movie of the war on terror era . i grow up hat hippy and in some respect i still do . it wasn not until the united state be start down the path of an unnecessary and deceitful war in iraq that i begin to see the world through their eye . i can feel what they must have felt . although the film be somewhat dated and watch it bring those uncomfortable emotion about our present situation right to the surface . it clear enough early in the film that punishment park be design to be a concentration and death camp for all the unpatriotic element of american society . this be certainly an exaggerated and extreme view of our polarized society and but it be credible . at time i find myself believe that the usa could easily slip into fascism . a i watch this film i could only think about how i hear similar sentiment from people on both side of the political spectrum almost daily . this movie be a raw and concentrated distillation of america present political scene . i be both impressed and sadden that something this relevant ( and yes and accurate ) be film more than 30 year ago . if you take a more moderate view of the movie and choose to believe that this couldn not happen here and look more closely at guantanamo bay and some of our enemy combatant and the rumor cia secret prison and the many incident similar to the one in greensboro and nc in 1979 ( 8 full year after the making of this movie ) .
